However a $200K bond and a gun charge makes me think the cops thought he was capable of greater violence and that any shooting he might commit would lead to serious retaliation by militia types, bikers, right wing gun groups or lone wolves who have had enough of police foot dragging. Maybe he is scared and just wants to live after being stalked? So either the cops feared he was about to go postal, or perhaps some internet '4chan types' who have been shadowing him since his exposure were about to put him on ice themselves. I've seen the evidence here:īut curiously he was arrested on a serious gun charge. I'm sure it's him but I also convinced that no jury would convict on the evidence thus far uncovered. They certainly had/have a very weak case. I don't think the cops wanted to arrest this guy. Last summer, Clanton contributed to the left-leaning publication Counterpunch, where he defended Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of murdering a Philadelphia police officer 30 years ago. In a March 2016 college lecture at Fort Lewis College, Clanton defended theft to students-stating that property law was “problematic,” further elaborating that shoplifting may be a political act. “He is currently exploring restorative justice from an anti-authoritarian perspective.” “His work in political philosophy … centers on mass incarceration and the prison system,” his Diablo Valley faculty page entry read, though it has since been taken down. All three were struck in the head or neck with a bike lock, police said.Ĭlanton was initially “outed” as the attacker, following sleuthing work by participants on the altright website 4chan.Ĭlanton is being held on $200,000 bail after being booked into Berkeley City Jail. Police said they have identified three victims in the case.
