Bay Area college professor used U-shaped bike lock in beating, police say
Alleged Antifa bike lock attacker Eric Clanton held in Berkeley jail
...
Eric Clanton remained in custody in lieu of $200,000 bail at Berkeley Jail on Thursday and is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Friday at Oakland’s Wiley W. Manuel courthouse. He was arrested on three counts of suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon that isn’t a firearm and assault causing great bodily injury.
In a statement Thursday, police acknowledged that video of the incident, captured by onlookers and posted on social media, helped them identify Clanton as the suspect behind "several violent assaults" that happened April 15 during the demonstration at Civic Center Park on Martin Luther King Jr. Way.

Police confirmed Clanton can be seen in videos hitting people in the head with a U-shaped bicycle lock. Three people received "significant injuries" because of the beatings, police said.

Homicide detectives handled the investigation because of the seriousness of the assaults, police said. Investigators served warrants Wednesday at unspecified addresses in San Leandro and Oakland, the latter of which is where authorities took Clanton into custody.

He surrendered without incident, police said.

#2 If 4cahn wouldn't have done it the police would have dropped it for "lack of evidence" because they didn't look.

#5 taught Philosophy at Diablo and also at SF State

apparently bought a dozen or so bike locks on Amazon a few days before the event and had them shipped with expedite option.

Personally, I think attempted murder should be the charge

#7 Berkeley mayor also a big supporter of BAMN, which counts a number of local educators among their midst - most notably Yvette Falarca. In fact, in each of the Berkeley incidents, local educators are confirmed to have taken part. They greatest threat of radicalization our young face comes from the very education system we pay for
