Updating continually: Who Is the UC Berkeley Puncher?

Campus Reform  "The University of California-Berkeley told Campus Reform Tuesday that it is seeking a felony arrest warrant from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office as a result of its investigation into the Feb. 19 assault against Leadership Institute Field Representative Hayden Williams." . . .

. . . "Berkeley is no stranger to anti-conservative violence. During a number of violent riots that broke out in early 2017 in response to appearances by several conservative speakers such as Milo Yiannopolous, a Diablo Valley College ethics professor named Eric Clanton smashed at least one person upside the head with a bike lock. 
"Clanton later took a plea deal which entailed the dropping of all three felony charges against him.
"Another rioter sprayed Trump supporter Kiara Robles in the face with pepper spray for wearing a hat that read, “Make Bitcoin Great Again.”

"This is a developing story. Updates will be added.

Editor's note: The Leadership Institute owns and operates CampusReform.org.

PJ Media is puzzled over this as well   . . . "That's it. The cops now claim they've identified the attacker, but they haven't arrested him and they're not releasing his name to the public.
"Would they be protecting this violent thug's identity if he had been wearing a MAGA hat?
"And what triggered the black-clad hooligan? What drove him to such a violent rage? It was a sign reading "Hate Crime Hoaxes Hurt Real Victims," a reference to the Smollett hoax. This coward got so triggered by a fake hate crime that he committed a real one." . . .

Update, 2/27:   Hayden Williams slams UC-Berkeley admin. 'for allowing it to get to this point'   . . . "On Fox & Friends, Williams was asked by host Ainsley Earhardt the identity of the man who was caught on video punching him in the face while he helped conservative campus groups recruit new members. Police in California told Campus Reform recently that they have identified the suspect but have not released his name publicly." . . .

. . . " 'But what I do know is that there is a culture at Berkeley that sort of harbors this mentality. It’s embedded at the university and you know, some people of the campus community were even hailing this guy as a hero for what he did and encouraging members of the community not to snitch on this individual," Williams said.

" 'What do you want to happen to him?" Earhardt asked Williams, referring to the man who punched him in the face.

" 'Well, I respect due process and, you know, I’m confident that he will be found. The police are doing good work on this case. And my main critique is with the administration for allowing it to get to this point where this sort of violence is accepted and even encouraged by some," Williams said." . . .
