In April, pro-Trump demonstrators gathered near Civic Center Park in Berkeley, California to hold a “Patriot Day” rally. Clashes between Pro-Trump and anti-Trump “Antifa” protesters broke out. One person, Eric Clanton, a former professor, decided to use a U-shaped bike lock to assault three people. One of the reported attacks was captured on video, which is featured below (Warning: some strong language). An investigation was conducted and Mr. Clanton was arrested earlier this week (via East Bay Times):
Trump supporter smashed in the head with U-Lock by masked Antifa Thug in Berkeley
A former Diablo Valley College professor was arrested Wednesday in connection with the use of a bike lock in the beating of three people during a rally for President Donald Trump last month, police said Thursday.Eric Clanton remained in custody in lieu of $200,000 bail at Berkeley Jail on Thursday and is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Friday at Oakland’s Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse. He was arrested on three counts of suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon that isn’t a firearm and assault causing great bodily injury.
In a statement Thursday, police acknowledged that video of the incident, captured by onlookers and posted on social media, helped them identify Clanton as the suspect behind “several violent assaults” that happened April 15 during the demonstration at Civic Center Park on Martin Luther King Jr. Way.

Homicide detectives handled the investigation because of the seriousness of the assaults, police said. Investigators served warrants Wednesday at unspecified addresses in San Leandro and Oakland, the latter of which is where authorities took Clanton into custody.
He surrendered without incident, police said.
On Friday afternoon, Mr. Clanton pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He surrendered without incident, police said.
Damn!
By calling him a former professor it looks like the college is hiding the fact this guy was scheduled to teach a course on ethics starting in June 2017.
Has he spent a night in jail?
Stop being so racist people, he did it with love.
“One person, Eric Clanton, a former professor, decided to use a U-shaped bike lock to assault three people.”
He didn’t decide to do it. He planned to do it.
With the videos clearly showing the cowardice of the attacks I would be willing to bet he will do some time.
Of course, being it is berzerkley that will guarantee him a professorship for life as soon as he gets out.
.
He spent time in jail since Wednesday, but I was wanting an “Incident”——aka thumping.
He hasn’t met Bubba yet?
I bet they love professors in the general prison population.
So to speak.
His court date was Friday. ...4 counts. ...bail set at $100K....back in jail.
“He surrendered without incident..”.
We need to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

it would be cool if these links works cause it is using teh socialist media.
Skinny, cowardly white boy that he is, I suspect that he’ll really enjoy the “celebration of diversity” that he’s about to be the target of. Sharing a cell with Weird Leon can be a real education for a pampered white boy.
A $200,000 bond is a real bummer, too. Most bondsmen will charge a non-refundable $20,000 to sign on to such a bond. Then any bondsman who knows his business keeps a staff of thugs on hand to make sure his clients make their court dates.
De boy, he be in for lots of fun and games, especially mit de brudders.

Whoever has been hiding him for the past several weeks should be examined closely.
That group would be on my short list of folks to monitor.
