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.
Two years in prison would be fine...
Happy to see that DVC dumped this turkey. Still, if he is tried in the Bay Area, I wouldn't be too sure that he'll be convicted. Even if that does happen, the judges around here aren't exactly the "string 'em up" types, so 11 years may be a real stretch. If he gets 4 or 5 with half of that suspended, I won't be surprised.
Hahaha! MAGA.
DeAndre Harris was shown on video assaulting someone with a Maglite at Charlottesville, jury let him off scott-free. Don’t hold your breath if he has homefield advantage.
