Philosophy Teacher Who Bashed Trump Supporter Arrested
A philosophy teacher who taught "Introduction to Ethics" was taught "Introduction to Jail" after he bashed a Trump supporter with a bicycle U-Lock.
Hopefully, this ethical for a libtard educator will also be taught "Introduction to State Prison" after a guilty verdict.
But this happened in Kalifornia. So who knows?
Watching the video, I noticed that Trump supporters are not the ones fond of wearing masks.

This Philosopher-hoodlum at Berkeley is walking in the footsteps of his lawyer Dan Siegel, who was one of the leaders of the New Left violence at Berkeley in 1969 https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...
Colleges that engage in that deserve all the damage inflicted~if not altogether being burned down to the ground.
It's time to start a substitute police force. It doesn't help to be above vigilantism when the enemy is already doing it with impunity.
An inmate runs that asylum.
The socialist snowflakes identify with Russian communists at war with Nazi Germany.
Ask any snowflake if Trump is a Nazi and I can guarantee an affirmative response.

Wow once again you want Interpret for me.
When he hit the victim in the head with a metal weapon while supporting love over trumps hate. He was being philosophical .
But anyone who 'leans' towards or is civilized is under an increasingly serious threat today. The root cause is not departure from "conservativism" with its faith, family and tradition mantra, but that few recognize the philosophical reasons in the battle between reason versus irrationalism and mysticism, egoism versus altruistic self-sacrifice, individualism versus collectivism, and freedom versus statism. Allies who still at least tend towards civilized behavior are important, but not enough.
This discussion is very interesting. I understand the importance of individualism vs. collectivism, but it doesn't seem to be what this thug is fighting about. If they were fighting about collectivism, it would make sense to me. It seems like in general irrationality, esp the notion that there is no one reality, has increased. I would not expect that because our technological world creates opportunities for people capable of reason. Maybe people are becoming more rational, but violent irrationality is morbidly fascinating like a train wreck, and the Internet and other media supply us more of what we click on. Assuming that explanation does not account for it, though, and there are movements of people angry about public policy, I would really like to know what it's all about. Is it that these people feel the need to be rude and violent about something, and policy issues will do, or is more going on?
Every political system implies and presupposes an ethics. Ethics presupposes an epistemology and a view of man and his relation to reality, i.e., philosophy. Clanton and his lawyer (an old line communist) are collectivists, and so have the rest of the university violent "protestors" been for 50 years since the beginning of the New Left. Clanton's lawyer was one of their leaders as a student at Berkeley in 1969.
Those who behave like that have a lot of bad ideas about what people are and can be. The radical activists are not rational individuals who just happen to have latched onto progressive politics and who fell in deep. Their collectivist politics is a result of bad philosophy driving it. Look at the nihilism in Saul Alinsky's New Left Bible Rules for Radicals as only one example. Reread Ayn Rand's "The Cashing-In: The Student 'Rebellion'" and "The Chickens' Homecoming" in her anthology Return of the Primitive. It is the "cashing-in" and is "the chickens coming home to roost" from bad and corrupt philosophy. Read Leonard Peikoff's The Ominous Parallels comparing the culture of Weimar Germany with the trend in the culture here now -- it is mostly philosophical, showing the political results of the bad philosophical premises. He began writing that after lecturing on the topic in response to the first wave of university violence from the New Left.
You are right that irrationalism has increased in the culture at a deep level, and so has the collectivist politics and outbursts of violence become more 'mainstream' because of it. It is all connected. The anger about public policy is only the result: The left is angry because we still aren't living in their image of an 'ideal' collectivist society and they are not consistently in power to impose it, but that is driven by what else they believe and resent us for. More civilized people are angry or concerned over public policy that is dragging us down into the results of the progressing statism and corruption -- which they don't like but mostly don't know what to do about it -- but starting with better at least implicit ideas mostly do not behave like the collectivist thugs in the streets. Even most of those who do live and work in the world of modern technology based on reason don't know what makes it possible and often advocate irrational positions in other realms, including politics even if usually not in the form of rioting louts in the streets.
That is why I did not stop at 'collectivism versus individualism', but referred to the whole scope of "the battle between reason versus irrationalism and mysticism, egoism versus altruistic self-sacrifice, individualism versus collectivism, and freedom versus statism".
How do you know this? Are they already famous apart from this crime? It doesn't really matter to me because I think the crime is every bit as bad regardless of the motive, but I'm still curious about the motive because it seems part of a larger pattern of people getting violently mad about politics. It's hard to believe he would be a non-violent person if only his public policy ideas were implemented.
I have given this link, previously in this thread, on Canton and his lawyer in: https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...
Here is some more background on his lawyer:

But again, the politics isn't the root cause; the leftist politics and his personal behavior are a consequence of more fundamental bad ideas.
I was saying train wrecks draw people's attention. On the Internet, that leads to clicks, so people and alogrithms put up links to more news stories that we supposedly "want", even if we don't want to see them and they are a rare exception to how people normally behave. This gives people the wrong impression that violent crime is rising.
As for believing from following clicks violent crime in general is rising, the clicks have been there for about 20 years now so that isn't new. But variations in frequency of ordinary violent crime isn't the central issue; we're talking about the increasing philosophical irrationality infecting everything, including political ideas and the increasing statism.
I even have a 30-shot 9mm carbine I call "The Evil Hag" because I would not have had it custom-made otherwise.
Sorry to offend.
I have even heard the same on talk radio.
+1 on that zip but I can only do it once.
Hopefully. Human institutions are fallible. Sometimes guilty people get away with stuff. The other side of the coin is some people still joke about responding to crime with extrajudical atrocities. Maybe that's urge had an evolutionary advantage in that you don't want to mess with a clan possessing that gene. It's unfortunate to see that the irrational anti-law spirit of our origin persists in the modern world.
I don't know if it counts as an "idea", but I believe we're adapted to feel the urge for revenge, sometimes a ghastly revenge. So if someone steals or does violence, the victims or their family might incur costs and risks disproportional to the attack to get revenge. This served as a crude deterrent to violence before humankind invented law.
(I marked this reasonable and polite comment back up. )
I wish the clown would say what she/he thinks the phrase means instead of just pressing a button.
The Alabama DOC makes all inmates completely shave their faces, though.
There have been widespread comments of irony that he teaches ethics. When will they start to question the danger of indoctrination of collectivism and demands for human sacrifice in the name of philosophy as the standard of morality, taught "in front of our class, in front of our students" everywhere for a century?
This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muoR8... describes how Clanton was identified, despite his masks and black robes used to hide his identity, through pain staking studies of multiple videos of violent leftist "protests" and analysis with facial recognition software. His ethics, fully implemented, led him to engage in several other violent sneak attacks.
Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muoR8... of a press interview of Clanton's lawyer Dan Siegel. Siegel blames his client's assault on "a lot of people who came to Berkeley, members of right wing organizations, hate groups, people who fly the KKK flag". He said that he takes on cases "to represent people who are facing criminal charges because of their engagement in political activity."
Siegel has been a radical leftist for 50 years. He was a leader in the violent left uprising at Berkeley in 1969, was a public spokesman for the Communist Workers Party in the 1980s, signed a statement in 2008 in support of terrorist Bill Ayres in solidarity with Ayres' former Weather Underground Organization, was a leader in the New Democratic Movement organization formed by the Communist Workers Party in 1986, worked for the communist National Lawyers Guild in the 1970s and later for the far left Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, and has been a leader and supporter in many other collectivist causes and political campaigns. http://keywiki.org/Dan_Siegel
I can't see me dino getting away with that excuse for bashing someone on the head.
When I was corrections officer, the one human target I was trained to avoid with a baton was an inmate's head. A head strike is called lethal force.
I'd probably have to prove I had first been cut by a shank in order to get away with that.
For a leftist, that justifies anything he wants to do to his enemies -- from personal physical attacks to statist hijacking of the coercive power of government to impose his totalitarian beliefs.
Any raw dictator does the same -- he has an ingrained emotional attachment to his own power viewed as the supremacy of the state. Anyone who dares to defy or question his edicts (or his bureaucrats') is automatically denounced as an "enemy", with no other justification required: you violated a "law" or "rule" to which you have unquestionable duty to submit to. No further explanation or argument is required and no defense is possible or allowed.
That is what happens when the rights of the individual are not understood and/or acknowledged, and is the irrational, emotional thuggery where we are headed.
He wasn't teaching this semester but who knows if he will go back to it, though probably not to the same college, which has now disowned him (for his physical attack, not his bad teaching of bad philosophy). Look at the "career" of Bill Ayres going from his Weather Underground terrorism to the University of Chicago and influential supporter of Obama's 'community organizing' and entrance into politics. Based on reports about Clanton's background, he doesn't have Ayres' brain power, money and pull, but he is now a potential martyr for the left to implant propagandizing somewhere, along with countless other drones echoing bad philosophy.
One could claim Clanton committed a terrorist act.against free speech but that's not how the left will view it, especially if Clanton has to serve hard time for conking three conservatives.
Trouble is, saying "a peace act against hate speech" would have some snowflakes nodding back at you.
How strange it is that some people actually think like that...
1) Fire teachers
2) Expel students
Problem solved, that's the way order was kept before.
