It was an Adjunct Professor at Diablo Valley College (SF Bay Area), Eric Clanton, who used a Bike lock to attack a man in a free speech demonstration at UC Berkeley in 2017. The attack could have been fatal (he pretty much split the guy's head open), but Clanton just got a 3 year probation slap on the wrist. Had it been the other way around (conservative striking a leftist), I'm sure the attacker would have received prison time.

Moral to the story - our Education system is loaded with violent leftist scum, who are protected by our judicial system.

Basically Eric Clanton skated. Below is an excerpt from an article I found regarding is 'sentence':

Eric Clanton had been linked by police to violent assaults with a metal bike lock during a “free speech” rally in Berkeley on April 15, 2017. Before his arrest, Clanton had been “outed” online, on the website 4chan, as someone who used a bike lock to strike a man in the head. The assault was captured in a video clip that drew widespread attention and anger after it was posted on YouTube. Wednesday, Clanton was supposed to have had his preliminary hearing, where a judge decides whether there’s enough evidence in a case for it to move ahead to trial. Instead, there was no hearing, and information about Clanton’s plea deal became available online (Berkeleyside).
According to Alameda County Superior Court records, Clanton entered a “no contest” plea Wednesday to one misdemeanor battery charge. The felony charges against him were dismissed, and an allegation that he had caused serious bodily injury was stricken. A misdemeanor charge that Clanton wore a mask during the commission of the crime also was dropped.
