A former Diablo Valley College philosophy professor has taken a plea deal resulting in three years of probation for attacking Trump supporters with a bike lock, Berkeleyside reported Wednesday.As Instapundit repeatedly says, the left is not going to like living under the rules they're creating.
Eric Clanton was previously charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury after he assaulted several conservative demonstrators at the so-called "Battle of Berkeley" last year.
Clanton was identified by 4chan sleuths as the antifa goon who committed the violent assaults during what was dubbed a “free speech” rally in Berkeley on April 15, 2017.
This brutal sucker punch was captured in a video clip that went viral...
He could have killed someone that day.
Berkeley police said Clanton bashed at least seven people in the head that day, seriously injuring three. The individual in the above video received a head laceration that required five staples to fix.
And yet he ends up with only a minor misdemeanor battery charge with no jail time? Like he just threw water on someone?

This Will Not Discourage Bad Behavior
A stitch in time saves nine. Failing to punish this type of behavior now almost certainly means that we'll see more of it, and worse:

Darren, I can't believe you still maintain this sad little blog after all these years. You need to spend more time working out and less time online.
And yet you come to read it. Which of us is *more* sad?
You're seeing the legacy of having liberals in power. I do believe there is a place for balance of ideas. Antifa and their cheerleaders on the left are every bit as thuggish and imposing as any Nazi wannabe on Kristallnacht. Local Democrats in Dallas have been chortling because there are more Beto O Rourke signs than Ted Cruz signs but that is because people are very afraid of vandalism and attacks by teens who have watched too many Antifa types getting away with crime. Since there's a Castle Law here, it could end up being a serious problem.
I disagree with the above troll. Finding creative outlets for your viewpoints and pushing back against the Liberal narrative is not a bad thing. I spend plenty of time working out (1-2 hour bicycle rides) but afternoons and evenings, I want to do something else. Keep it up Darren. Trolls will be trolls.
What a sweet plea deal that was--Three years of probation instead of felony assault! ^head-to-desk^
I wonder who his lawyer was who brokered this deal?
