Man Arrested In Attack On Conservative Activist At UC Berkeley
Cbs San Francisco ^

Posted on 03/02/2019 5:42:40 AM PST by TigerClaws

BERKELEY (CBS SF) — A man being sought for the assault of a conservative activist on the University of California, Berkeley campus last month has been arrested.

A statement from UC Berkeley Public Affairs said a warrant was issued for suspect Zachary Greenberg and UC police arrested him Friday, booking him into jail at 1 p.m.

Greenberg was identified as one of two men who confronted a conservative activist who had set up a table in Sproul Plaza. Hayden Williams, volunteer with conservative group Turning Points USA was displaying signs that read, “Hate Crimes Hoaxes Hurt Real Victims” – a reference to the Jussie Smollett case – and another saying “This is MAGA Country.”

Greenberg was seen on video landing two punches on Williams – one a glancing blow and another much harder directly on his face.

The incident was recorded by two Cal students with cellphones and video of the encounter has since gone viral.

Police will formally present the case to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of the filing of criminal charges, the university said.

I’m 50 and fat but as an ex boxer could still drop him with two shots.

Of this I have no doubt.

It’s not possible he would be standing.

The bonus is his jaw would be in a wire for 6 weeks.

There was an arrest of this “jaunting around the country” style activist name Alcoff(who has several aliases) who was part of a group that beat up 2 marines in Philadelphia. Alcoff was part of the group that attacked Tucker’s home and family. He is on the radar of several conservative blogs and pundits. This guy is bad news.

Oooops:
“...the campus; the behavior is the exact opposite of “freely exchanging opposing opinions”. (Imagine all government and school officials are well protected from civil lawsuits here.)”

This crime needs to be treated as a hate crime. Anyone attacking a Trump supporter is obviously acting out of hatred.

Until we can get rid of all "thought crimes" - we need to jump on the bandwagon and use their insanity.

Wonder if Greenberg is Jewish? If he is how rich to be acting like a Brownshirt against a supporter of the first potus to have a Jewish family member.

Greenberg’s standing with powerful cultural ‘elites’ against the ‘other’ - a lone Trump Supporter.

He knows it's OK with campus powers and the California Universities and Governments for him to beat up ‘the Jew’...oops, I mean the ‘Trump supporter’...

So you're right, Zachary Greenberg's become a brownshirt. No group is 'victim' forever. Sometimes they flip to thug.

It’s a good thing that Zachary Greenberg didn’t know how to throw a punch or Hayden Williams might have really been hurt.

I think I heard Hayden Williams on Hannity’s radio show. Impressive.

Mr. Greenberg needs to update his resume to make clear he only works with clients who think the way he does. If the client has a different point of view, he or she likely will be assaulted.
