BERKELEY, Calif. - The Alameda County District Attorney's Office has filed three felony charges against an Oakland man who allegedly attacked a conservative activist at University of California at Berkeley's Sproul Plaza last month.
Zachary Greenberg, 28, is charged with assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, battery with serious bodily injury and criminal threats for his alleged attack on Hayden Williams, an organizer with the conservative group Turning Point USA, while Williams was manning a table at Sproul Plaza on Feb. 19.
Greenberg, who was arrested Friday but is now free on bail, also is charged with misdemeanor vandalism causing less than $400 in damage. He's scheduled to be arraigned at the Wiley Manuel Courthouse in Oakland at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

UC Berkeley also said allegations that it doesn't support free speech for all of its students, regardless of their perspectives, are "absurd" and "have no basis in fact."
The university said that in the last year alone it has spent more than $4 million "to ensure that our conservative students could safely and successfully hold events on campus and invite speakers of their choice to these events."
UC Berkeley said, "Our commitment to freedom of speech and belief is unwavering and no amount of incomplete, distorted news coverage is going to change that."

Barf Alert
FYI
How soon will the charges be reduced to one count of miss-DUH-meaner disorderly conduct? Is there a miss-DUH-meaner DO charge in cali?
That assertion by Berkeley is absurd on its face...................
Wake me when he’s convicted and actually serves any time.
Berkeley is bummed.
We are really in a sorry state when withholding money is more of a deterrent to bad behavior than moral integrity.
Does anyone know why the puncher was on campus?

.... agreed.
I’m actually willing to put a 20 spot down that he does time.
Too many eyes on this and too vicious of an attack.
If the news hadn’t spread, then yeah he gets a 100 dollar fine.
I could be wrong.
We shall see.
I don’t trust you guys to pay anyway and you definitely shouldn’t trust me! :)

.... so true.
Moral integrity has been disappearing at a geometric rate since the late 60's......... and the Hildabeast brought Saul Alinsky into our political lives just to add to the charm.
That's been my question ever since I found out that he wasn't a Berkeley student. Almost has to be Antifa related.
Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.
For one, such a conviction could be touted as proof that leftists are assiduous supporters of the law. You think Cal would like some of that? The communist universities stand to lose $billions in funding. Sure as hell they're going to throw some losers to the wolves for the crime of "being caught".
A jury of HIS peers will all be antifa & communists.
He will walk.

I'm not crazy about the "legal" designation "hate crime". But do you think this qualifies as a hate crime?
1630??????
God knows WTH my Italian/Sicilian ancestors were doing back then.
But judging by how I turned out, something bad :)
I CANT BELIEVE how far back some folks here go.
Makes me feel like we just got here!!
I don’t.
