He’s paid by them, and he identifies himself in the NY Daily News article as a staffer. Sorry but he’s tied to the UC Berkeley. We were told these are people sent to start trouble that have nothing to do what so ever with the school. Uh huh.
He made about 75K in 2015 according to the state salary site. Not a bad salary, don’t know how far that will get you in the Bay Area though. If you Google his name and search images he apparently plays in a band. What’s sad is if that’s him it says he’s 48 yrs old. A little old to be playing anarchist.
