Eric Clanton, a former professor at Diablo Valley College, has been arrested by Berkeley Police for allegedly attacking pro-Trump activists with a bike lock during rallies that took place on April 15.

Clanton was accused by users on 4chan last month as being the masked Antifa activist who beat pro-Trump attendees with a bike lock at the April 15 rallies in Berkeley. Now police have arrested Clanton on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. Clanton was a professor of philosophy at Diablo Valley College, which is located is Pleasant Hill, California, a short 30-minute trip away from UC Berkeley, though he is no longer listed among the school’s professors.

This is an excerpt as per request of Breitbart.

Pictures of one of the injured men at the link.

It was reported on another thread that the "professor" has already been charged with a felony and his bond is set at $100,000.

Significant injuries is an understatement. Leftist totally unhinged.

God Help the US.

I saw the alleged Professor on Youtube allegedly strike the man with the alleged bike lock.

I hope he gets serious time. Allegedly.

I hope this guy that got hit in the head sues the heck out of that school.

Why are people paying their hard earned money to send their children to these colleges that are nothing more that breeding grounds for violence and hatred .

Despite their sickening anti-Semitism and porn, 4chan/pol/ actually does some great work.

that was just the one guy. I have downloaded videos from berkeley with several guys attacking. one with a long plastic pole. another guy used his skateboard and the best part he massively bashed one of his own who lost his mask. also a shot of possible firearm printing though a jacket.

The article also said......“His work in political philosophy also centers on mass incarceration and the prison system,” (Clanton’s former faculty page read.)....

The guy probably knows quite well how to wiggle out of these arrests I'll assume, since it was said he'd been arrested 5 other times and jailed.....
