Campus police have announced an arrest in the felony assault case involving a man caught on video punching another man on the UC Berkeley campus last week.
The University of California Police Department announced the arrest by email at 2:10 p.m. Friday. Police said UCPD arrested Zachary Greenberg on a warrant involving a Feb. 19 assault on Sproul Plaza. Police said last week that they had identified the suspect in the case but did not release his name until Friday.
“Today, we have finally learned the identity of the attacker and that the violent man has been arrested. While every America should be afforded their due process, we believe that the video evidence in this case is incontrovertible. We hope 28-year-old Zachary Greenberg is prosecuted to the full extent of the law for assault with a deadly weapon, which should be considered an act of hate. Hopefully, this dark chapter will act as a wake up call to those concerned about actual politically motivated hate crimes in America. Berkeley and all college campuses across American should be safe havens for free thought and opinions - especially for a targeted conservative minority," his statement read.
...
Greenberg is being held on $30,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

Well, he's on the right side of history. Punching nazis for inflicting violence(speech) on other people.
I'm sure that will keep him warm in his jail cell at night.
* Zachary Greenberg, who UC-Berkeley identified as the man who allegedly assaulted a conservative on campus, once worked for the college.
* Greenberg worked for a period of less than three months as a lab assistant in the Department of Psychology, according to UC-Berkeley.
* Greenberg was also "briefly" a non-degree seeking student at the school, a UC-Berkeley spokeswoman told Campus Reform.

So this is what a Brown Shirt looks like.

And the really sad part is a few of our liberal friends will soon wander into the thread and defend it as free speech.
The police aren't eligible for the reward money if I recall correctly.
Yeah, I keyed in on that as well, would be interesting, perhaps, to see what studies that particular lab was running

It’s good he’s been arrested, but why the hyperbole?
Nazi?

Technically it's what a Nazi looks like.
If we're going to compare apples and apples finally.
Because substitute the word "conservative" or "Republican" for jew, black, Muslim just for fun in the text image Jaded posted.
If you do those two posters just committed an online hate crime.
But conservatives?
### THOSE kind of people, amIright?
