The preliminary hearing for a man charged with bashing a Donald Trump supporter on the head with a bike lock at a Berkeley rally has been postponed until Sept. 28, according to his attorney. The hearing was originally scheduled for Thursday morning.

Eric Clanton, a 28-year-old former Diablo Valley College philosophy professor, is the only person who has been charged in connection with the bloody April 15 rally so far. Users of the website 4chan identified the anti-fascist protester as the person caught on video assaulting a man with a bike lock at the protest, leading to his arrest. Berkeley police independently investigated Clanton as well.

Clanton was charged in May with four counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, with the special allegation of causing great bodily injury to Sean Stiles. He was also charged with wearing a mask to evade identification, a misdemeanor.

Eric Clanton will forever be known as the “bike lock terrorist.”

Still waiting for the media to denounce “Antifa” Communist terrorism.

So is this the second time this was postponed? I read somewhere it was pushed back to August 10th from the original trial date, and now the 10th is pushed back to the end of September. This POS lawyer is trying to sweep this crap under the rug so to speak.

Looks like Eric is going to miss the first day or so of the new school year.

Was he not a member of the Antifa group?

Wasn’t he spotted at a recent ANTIFA meeting?

Wouldn’t that go against the terms of him being out on bail?
