This guy was a philosophy perfesser - "was" being the operative term. His philosophy apparently involved hitting people in the head with a bike padlock because he disagreed with them.
Eric Clanton, a former Diablo Valley College philosophy professor, has been arrested for his role in a violent melee that broke out during a Berkeley rally supporting President Donald Trump last month.
The Leftists are dangerously deranged.

Yep, this is what it looks like in S.E. Portland:
They don't have any sense of responsibility; they just keep piling up trash - a lot of it toxic - outside their "camps".
While the city of Portland still struggles to deal with its portion — marked by crime and an overwhelming amount of trash and camps — Gresham's share of the Springwater is now clean, almost completely free of homeless camps, and most importantly, safe. Meanwhile, underneath the bridge nearby on Jenne, one homeless camper has accumulated about a thousand pounds of trash, which used to be a common sight in Gresham.
They just move camp to Portland, leaving behind tons of trash.
Those who refused were asked to find somewhere else to camp. Most headed to Portland and its laissez-faire approach to the problem, Dahlgren said. The result of the exodus can be found at the western edge of the Gresham trail — where the Springwater intersects with Southeast Jenne Road.
Those shopping carts that they steal cost stores around $200 apiece - an expense which gets passed on to you. Generally speaking, they have no morals.
Dahlgren has seen a significant increase in joggers and cyclists — and it's not just people returning to the corridor. Dahlgren is starting to see deer in the "Deep Woods" sections, which was unheard of when he first started because of the vast number of campers.
In suburban Gresham, the cleanup efforts seem to be working. Portland, on the other hand, is another matter entirely.
The homeless folks don't show up here, probably because it's hard to push stolen shopping carts up the mountain.

A rodeo is no place for vegan protesters, and a group of more than 40 of them have learned that the hard way.
A video going viral through LiveLeak and other sites shows a group of vegan protesters attempting to disrupt a dressage contest — a competition where horses and their owners perform a series of movements from memory — only to face an anti-protest from the cowboys in attendance. LiveLeak reported about the video, “This Saturday at La Exposición de Gandadería, – commonly known as Expo Rural – more than 40 vegan activists staged a peaceful protest interrupting a dressage contest. The activists walked onto the central track, bearing posters with slogans against the exploitation of animals.”
Less than a minute later a group of cowboys, or guachos, began riding horses into the group, disrupting the protest. They essentially moved the protesters as they would cattle, circling them, pushing them with their horses, and even using whips. They then began pushing the protesters out of the arena. The audience seemed to be on their side as they erupted into applause as the protesters were driven away and ran around in confusion over what was happening.
If you wanna be a vegan, that's all right. It's your choice. But being a jerk about it isn't going to win you any any friends (or converts to what passes for your way of thinking).
Live your life as you see fit - and afford others the same courtesy.

ABILENE, Texas (KTXS) — An Abilene man -- who appears to be homeless and handicapped -- is making a good living by panhandling on weekends, according to the police chief.
Chief Stan Standridge said the man panhandles every Saturday and Sunday at the intersection of Hwy 83/84 and FM 707.
He sits in a wheelchair and the police department has gotten calls from people concerned about the man thinking he's homeless.
Standridge said the department's homeless outreach team has been in contact with the man.
They learned he is not homeless. Standridge said the man lives in a home in south Abilene. He is also not wheelchair-bound, according to Standridge. Someone drops him off every weekend to seek charity. Standridge said the man earns about $1,000 a weekend.
Odd writing - it looks as though the guy thinks he's homeless, but that's not the case at all. So many people are so gullible.
"Imagine if those dollars were given to non-profits to help get our homeless neighbors off the streets," said Standridge.
I'm with him; I don't give panhandlers anything, though I do donate to organizations.

The wealthy San Francisco residents who launched a crowdfunding campaign to block construction of a new homeless shelter in their waterfront neighborhood are employing a new tactic: arguing that homeless people are bad for the environment.
It's an interesting approach; in addition to public urination and defecation, there are the needles and general garbage that seem to pervade homeless "encampments". So they have a point when it comes to public health and safety. Of course, San Fran does have a full-time "poop squad" that removes feces and hose down affected sidewalks and streets, but they evidently need a few more squads.
Around here, crews routinely remove several tons of garbage after homeless camps are moved out (to infest other areas).

A radical far-left activist who writes for the radical far-left blog ThinkProgress admitted in a personal newsletter Friday that he recently cut loose a friend over his Trump Derangement Syndrome. Granted, that’s not how he told the sad but typical story.
According to his version of events, he’s the "emotionally hurt victim" who was purposefully hurt by his former Trump friend. Never mind that it was he who started it.
When she claimed I was trying to police her beliefs, I corrected her, pointing out that my conditions only regarded the hat, not her position on any particular issue. When she claimed that she’s equally offended by the Pride flag, I corrected her again, explaining that objecting to a symbol of inclusion is in no way comparable to objecting to a symbol of exclusion and that she was making a false equivalency.”
So he "corrected" her. What a horse's patoot. If anyone needs "correcting", it's him.

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, called Sunday for a federal investigation and charges against Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler after an attack on a conservative journalist by antifa activists during one of the city’s frequent protests. The episode drew fresh attention to Mr. Wheeler’s hands-off attitude toward protesters, including the mayor’s defense last year of police who allowed activists to block traffic and harass drivers during a spontaneous protest, an incident caught on camera by Mr. Ngo.
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, who like Mr. Ngo is openly gay, said he had asked the Justice Department to investigate the incident, tweeting, “This is outrageous. Where was Portland Mayor? @tedwheeler”.
Portland State University professor Peter Boghossian called for impeaching Mr. Wheeler, saying he has allowed “street thugs to assault journalists, blockade hospitals, and pull pedestrians out of their cars.”
“His behavior is disgraceful and impeachment proceedings must begin immediately,” tweeted Mr. Boghossian.
John Noonan, senior counselor for military and defense affairs for Sen. Tom Cotton, Arkansas Republican, said Mr. Wheeler’s streets are “straight out of Mad Max Thunderdome. This is a giant, glaring failure of leadership.”
There's a reason why the town's been nicknamed "Little Beirut". And whether Ngo is openly homosexual or not has no actual bearing in regard to the situation; the thugs trash the place and mug people because they're allowed to get away with it.

LOS ANGELES, CA: A rising wave of homelessness is growing and spreading in the major Democrat controlled cities on the Left Coast. Spreading disease, drug addiction, and social disorder in its wake. From Seattle to San Francisco to Los Angeles the quality of life is plummeting. Democrat municipal and state authorities seem oblivious, placing the rights of the homeless above their duty to their citizens, taxpayers, and public safety.
More than 60,000 homeless people by official count are living on the streets of Los Angeles. That doesn’t include the surrounding municipalities and cities in Orange County. Actual estimates are much higher, and the homeless seem to be everywhere.
Seattle journalist Eric Johnson of ABC affiliate KOMO-TV shot this shocking footage as part of a series of documentary stories he has done. "Paradise Lost" is only 6 1/2 minutes long, but is distressingly clear Komo-TV knows the problem. TV Journalist Eric Johnson hosted an in-depth one hour documentary about the problem in Seattle which aired on ABC affiliate KOMO, appropriately named “Seattle is Dying”. It depicted a city in collapse, surrounded by a deluge of homeless in the midst of every conceivable public space.
In San Francisco, there is an open collapse of all decent norms. The public squalor isn’t just shocking. It is unconscionable. Legions of homeless defecating in the street. Needles are strewn throughout the city. A downtown that is unliveable.
Not exactly a poster boy for tourism. Or for the Democrat policies throughout California, and in Oregon and Washington that only exacerbate the problem.
It's so bad in San Francisco that they publish poop maps like the one above. And it's no better in Oregon's state capital, in the state's largest city (Portland) and elsewhere along the I-5 corridor. California governor Gavin Newsome, Oregon governor Kate Brown from Minnesota, and Washington governor Jay Inslee could stop worrying about climate change for just a minute and address the stinking cesspool their states are rapidly becoming. But they won't because they're all Democratics.

PORTLAND, Ore — Two trucks, sidled with generators and water tanks, will start popping up in various locations around the Portland metro area by early next week. They’re big, blue, and they're bringing access to the bare necessities: laundry and shower facilities for the area’s homeless population.
The laundry truck comes with four washing machines and four dryers, along with two barber chairs and a dog washing sink.
If we could get people to quit providing "services" to the parasites, we'd have far fewer of them.
As it is, Portland has become a Mecca for parasites from all over the country.
Which reminds me: I need to buy more flea and tick spray.

When faced with complaints earlier this year from city workers about rats infesting L.A. City Hall, most city officials said little about whether the problem was connected to several homeless camps right outside. But a newly uncovered report from a pest control company hired by the city has raised fresh questions about whether officials wrongly downplayed that possibility during discussions at City Council meetings.
CatsUSA Pest Control, brought in to assess areas outside City Hall and nearby buildings, warned that homeless people create “harborage for rodents,” according to the report issued Dec. 28 and obtained last month through a public records request by a frequent critic of City Hall. The company said it found “poor sanitary conditions” — including leftover food, human waste and hypodermic needles — and recommended that the city clear away the homeless population living in the Civic Center.
But that assessment begs the question: where else might one expect to find rats - apart from areas where politicians congregate?
Blaming the homeless seems like misdirection, but then, the homeless didn't pay for CatsUSA's assessment.
