HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Berkeley student who cried racial profiling & mistreatment is arrested for hate crime, vandalism.

Police said last week that they had tallied more than 35 instances of vandalism, including graffiti on cars and fences, and slashed tires on at least 17 vehicles, in the Southside neighborhood along several blocks of Prospect Street near Hillside Avenue that appeared June 28. The graffiti included phrases such as “fuck white people,” and is therefore considered a hate crime, BPD said. …

Details about the June 28 vandalism appeared on private social network Nextdoor: “Multiple cars, and fences were spray painted with Anarchist symbols, painting out license plates and slogans such as, F$%# white people, Class Warfare sometime during the night,” one local resident near Hillside Avenue and Prospect Street wrote.

The messages also included “FTP,” an anti-police term. Another resident who saw the original Nextdoor post initially brought it to Berkeleyside’s attention.

Another Antifa twerp, sounds like. Plus: “Another Berkeley student, Peter Estrada, was arrested on Friday and faces the same charges as Chamu. Both are to be arraigned on Monday.”

So this looks like it could be federally prosecuted as a conspiracy to deprive people of their civil rights, if the Department of Justice wants to get involved. And I think it should, to send a signal that this sort of behavior isn’t tolerated.
