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 schools professors.

“The investigators amassed a number of pictures and then used them to identify Eric Clanton”
Those pictures weren’t assembled by investigators, that’s the work of 4chan.
I look forward to Berkeley’s mayor being charged with conspiracy.
The Mayor needs to have been fired long ago.......hopefully they can get him along the way and might be why he’s still mayor. I hear he’s involved with all these groups himself.
There were many working on this from the start....4chan has their folks as well....and brought it finally together...
Me neither...but his parents can well afford I understand.....he’s a thug creep and I just hope he serves time....he’ll be passed around in jail you can be sure if he ends up there...
Clantons attorney told the judge he was being followed, and that he and his client had received threats.....also detectives recovered evidence associating Clanton with anti-Fascist and anarchist political groups.
The creep was charged with ‘four’ counts of felony assault with enhancements... alleging that he caused great bodily injury. He also was charged with wearing a mask during commission of a crime, a misdemeanor.
the courtroom was crowded ‘’’’with media and protesters’’’’. At the start, Judge Thomas Nixon announced that the court had learned someone was live-streaming the proceedings over the internet. Nixon warned the courtroom would be cleared if he could confirm that.
Soe one wrote....”Allow each person that was hit in the head by this liberal loon to take five swings at his head with the same lock and call it done.”
It is hard for me to have any sympathy for him.
The Left is totally crazy. Like the Islamists, they hate more than life itself.
It is a hate crime.
Fired isn’t enough... it’s been apparent since the Milo riot that he works with Antifa. The DOJ needs to make an example of him.
I find it amazing that he was arrested at all. By Berkley cops, no less.
This guy was packing a firearm when he was out hitting people from behind with a chunk of steel? I hadn't heard that part.
Oh, is his future ever laid out for him or what?
Two different protests.
In articles posted back when the Clanton bike-lock attack was breaking news there was mention of a possible connection to an earlier protest where a firearm was used.
No, they do it because they really are anti-Semitic and porn addled.
