Former Diablo Valley College professor Eric Clanton may face 11 years in prison for allegedly busting a Trump supporter’s head with a bike lock, according to an interview he did with Rolling Stone entitled “Antifa on Trial: How a College Professor Joined the Left’s Radical Ranks.”
I love how this headline suggests that it’s UNUSUAL for professors to be part of the radical left; perhaps this author needs to tune in to Campus Unmasked. But I guess if you define “radical” to include only outright violence and not anti-white and and anti-Israel curriculum, readings from the Marxist Frankfurt School, etc., you can maybe get away with it.
Clanton refers to the “structural violence of the state” and I don’t think he’s talking about specific states like totalitarian dictatorships there, but instead violence inherent when you have any sort of government. Even more curious is when he dismisses the concept of moral high ground as something created by the “narrative class.”
Are these the sort of people you want teaching in universities? People who think morality is just another narrative, who think respect and decency are just weapons used to oppress them? At the end of the day, Eric Clanton’s case is a huge win for 4Chan and citizen journalism in general. If the mainstream media won’t hold these domestic terrorists to account, there at least seems to be a whole generation of sleuthy sentinels out there whose investigative skills are matched only by their razor-sharp wit and devotion to Western values.
Of course Rolling Stone did a puff piece on this guy and antifa. I could only skim the article. Rolling Stone trashed 4chan.
Bkmk
That dude is jacked and whacked...
How about let one of us exact justice on him. Give me 10 minutes alone with him with a Louisville Slugger. I assure you that he will never hurt anyone ever again.
Clanton is obviously a cowardly violent punk but also a sad example of what passes for scholarship.
Like so many, he Mad Libs a noun and a modifier together to come up with something that sounds academic but is in reality merely gibberish. Narrative class, structural violence, etc.
The old warhorses of institutional racism and intersectional feminism are starting to get plenty of company from nonsense coined by chancers trying to latch onto the tenure gravy train.
Good thin, as the dinosaur media is busy helping the FBI coup against the President.
“College Professor Joins Radical Leftist Group” is as news worthy as your old fashion dog bites man story! There is no there, there!
You want a radical news story, report the college professors who are LEAVING the Radical Liberal Leftist Groups - THAT would be a news story worth championing...of course those professors are as common as your average snow white, golden-horned unicorns!!
I’ll take that loser in a cage, mano e mano...
Bet he taps in under 10 secs and I don’t give
This is the little dweeb who reached out from behind several people and swung a bike like and chain onto the head of a Trump supporter, then ran away like a little girl. He was caught right away.
I used to wonder how Hitler got people to kill for him, but these socialist (like this ‘professor’) seem more than willing to commit violence against people they disagree with.
And these little socialists call Trump supporters ‘Nazi’ but don’t seem to know that the term Nazi is short for the German Workers National Socialist party.
BUMP!
I'm enough of a math nerd to fit in well with the nerds on 4chan who helped expose this terrorist and others. Most of them love the term "Weaponized Autism", and I love hearing it applied to them. Those who exposed this violent domestic terrorist are American heroes.
Former Diablo Valley College professor Eric Clanton should go to a prison where violent and perverted prisoners are housed, not some country club prison.
Gone in 6 seconds. 10 minutes for me because I believe vermin like this must suffer greatly.
Rolling Stone just put Jann Wenner and whatever remains of his lame publishing company out of business.
Perhaps not quickly but certainly permanently.
Nice! Glad to hear there will be some justice here. Unfortunately, the democrats will probably brand him a hero when he gets out, like the terrorist weathermen underground.
I think he did this to four different people.
I wonder how this creep owes in student loans. All gone now.
I wonder how much this creep owes in student loans. You and I get to make the payments.
If anyone who is guilty of intentional, premeditated assault with a deadly weapon doesn’t get at least 11 years, it would be a crime.
This guy should be taking a dirt nap.
