Eric Clanton, the former adjunct professor at Diablo Valley College accused of smashing a Trump supporter over the head with a bike lock at a Berkeley protest in April 2016, had a court date yesterday. His pre-trial court date as been set for Feb. 22 according to The Inquirer, the Diablo Valley College student newspaper. Clanton was charged with four felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon and a misdemeanor offense of wearing a mask to avoid identification back in May. The charges stem from an April 15 protest in Berkeley, where a masked individual attacked attendees of the “Patriot Rally” with a bike lock.

Justice delayed is justice denied.
Personally, I’m surprised the charges weren’t dropped and California didn’t give him a medal
“In May, Clanton pled not guilty before being released on $100,000 bail. In August, Clanton criticized the Berkeley Police Department in a public statement stating that “this is just one example of the police doing everything in their power to facilitate and to legitimize the violence and the rhetoric of the so-called alt-right.”
Deny, deny, deny. Typical. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. I work at DVC, they are taking this matter seriously.
Ditto.
I wonder about a lot of these cases. If Kate Steinle’s murderer walks I have a feeling many more will also.
Did you ever meet this creep when he was there?
Someone should go all Keyser Sose on this guy...
I think delays are one of the techniques to shop judges.
“Justice delayed is justice denied.”
Let the law hang over his head, it takes a toll. Particularly for a snowflake, turned violent, punk like this guy.
He should have bashed someone radical looking, but instead, he bashed a good looking, any kid U.S.A., over the head with a bike lock who was doing nothin offesnive. Bashed him bloody.
The jury, any jury, will not be kind to this jackass.
I wonder if his known victim is suing him.
“He should have bashed someone radical looking, but instead, he bashed a good looking, any kid U.S.A., over the head with a bike lock who was doing nothin offesnive. Bashed him bloody.”
Exactly. And that young man was not Clanton’s only victim. Video was found showing Clanton has done this multiple times. Here’s a compilation video of his rioting with his U-Lock weapon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRHocgNY6o
Except this is a California jury.
“Someone should go all Keyser Sose on this guy...”
The first rule of Keyser Sose is.....

Never had the “pleasure.” My department is Chemistry, we didn’t meet. I knew him by reputation only.
Eric Clanton - in 1 of the many decks of DOMESTIC ENEMIES. Consequences?
