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.

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.

I wonder about a lot of these cases. If Kate Steinle’s murderer walks I have a feeling many more will also.

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.

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

Never had the “pleasure.” My department is Chemistry, we didn’t meet. I knew him by reputation only.
