UC Berkeley police have identified a man suspected of punching a right-wing activist on Sproul Plaza on Tuesday but he has not been arrested yet, nor have police released his name.
Videos of the incident went viral this week, after they were shared by conservative groups and figures calling the assault a leftist attack on students’ free speech. UC Berkeley has said, however, that neither the activist or the man suspected of punching him are students, and there is no indication the man is affiliated with any left-wing groups.
The most-viewed video begins in the middle of an altercation between two young men, one of whom was recruiting on Sproul Plaza for Turning Point USA, a national nonprofit that organizes right-wing college students.
In the video, the Turning Point recruiter is holding his phone out, appearing to film the other man. The man walks into the recruiter and swings his sweatshirt at him.

Sickos are in a full blown MAGAPHOPIC deranged state!!! Bastards!
The attacker with those massive Biceps, he surely goes there, this is just a Temp. Diversion.
“Viral right wing videos”, as opposed to viral left wing videos. B I A S.
I hope they get the black-clad creep.
While you are at it sue the school for maintaining an attractive nuisance.
The college and its administrative policies encourage such attacks. Until the attacks cease the college should have to pay the victims of such attacks. If the college insists on maintaining an open campus then they are responsible for the behavior of everyone on campus. The response ‘They aren’t a student” is bunch of B.S.
To look like a student?
... and yet unable to throw a straight punch. An overhand right delivered from a shoulder moving up instead of forward produced blow even an expecting victim shrugged off. Had it been done straight and from the hip the poor man hit would not have regained consciousness for quite a while.
I know what I would have done - in an instant - if I was there and saw that going on. The word "Posse" is not the word for it. Freight train is more like it.
