Felony charges filed against alleged attacker of conservative at UC-Berkeley

The Alameda County District Attorney’s office has filed criminal felony charges against a software engineer who allegedly attacked a conservative activist at the University of California, Berkeley campus on Feb. 19.

The charges against Zachary Greenberg, 28, include three felony counts and one misdemeanor count, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Fox News.

The felony counts relate to assault and causing, or intending to cause, bodily injury, and criminal threats. A misdemeanor count is related to vandalism, the complaint shows.

The charges come five days after police arrested Greenberg for allegedly attacking Hayden Williams, who is 26 and not a student, while he was manning a recruitment table on campus for the conservative group Turning Point USA.

“We are pleased that the good investigative work of our police department has led to the filing of these charges,” said Dan Mogoluf, assistant vice chancellor at UC-Berkeley, to Fox News. “The university believes that those who violate the free speech rights of others must be held accountable and face the appropriate consequences.”

Greenberg is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland.

So neither one of them was a student, just outside agitators?

“...pleaded not guilty this week to three criminal charges stemming from his alleged assault of Hayden Williams...”

Stupid move, it’s recorded on video for all to see. He would have been better off to plead guilty and cut a deal for lesser penalties.

Story says Greenberg’s former roommate had obtained a restraining order, & Greenberg was required to surrender his shotgun & ammo in that case. Indicates the roommate was in imminent danger.
Under the current charges, he’s now ordered to surrender any additional guns & ammo he might have. Huh. You mean a bad guy might ignore CA laws & acquire unregistered guns after he’s already forfeited his registered ones?
And, the major takeaway here, is Greenberg is an extreme leftist who wants to deny OUR 2nd Amendment rights.
FWIW, I knew some Greenbergs in the 1980s. Wonder if they’re related.

Bring back the state outhouses and a lot of this problem gets solved.

Anger management issues....

Guy like that, should be in a hostile war zone so he could experience first-hand the consequences of somebody else’s anger being directed at HIM.

I blame bad toilet training.

Tell him to come down to Texas and TRY to take a swing at me. We’ll see how far that gets him.

[roadcat]

In trouble before, had to surrender his shotgun. Now barred from having firearms and must surrender any other weapons. Too bad he can’t surrender his fists.

[Chode]

with any luck the POS will get plenty of chances to prove how tough he is in the joint...

[gaijin]

What type of person by age 28 has been involved in TEN lawsuits..?

:O

Every restraining order he has filed against others has been denied.

Every R.O. requested against him has been granted.

Good luck in court, Mr. Greenberg..!

[TBP]

He’ll get away with it.
