🚨 BREAKING: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon says federal CRIMINAL CHARGES are being looked at after Antifa waged war on Turning Point USA last night at UC Berkeley......and BOTH the university AND local police are now being investigated."It is NOT a both sides problem When a violent mob like Antifa comes in attacks like this, it's what we call a heckler's veto. In First Amendment jurisprudence, and given the fact that there has now been a terrorist designation here - the Joint Terrorism Task Force is going to be looking into this together with the DOJ and the FBI.""It could be 18 241, 242. We also have hate crime statutes that apply. I believe that some of the epithets that were hurled at some of the members of the crowd made reference to their race and to other protected characteristics under the law.""We will be obviously looking at a deep dive into all the potential criminal and civil aspects of this.""I ALSO have concerns about UC Berkeley's history of not protecting conservative speakers on the campus. And I also have concerns as the top civil rights lawyer in the United States, about whether the Berkeley POLICE are doing their job under the law to protect citizens equally.""That's an equal protection concern. It's the type of thing that we do bring in the Civil Rights Division. And we are going to be looking at that very seriously here in this case."They've been ordered to preserve their documents.
