How?

The victim should sue the shit out of him

It says dismissed by motion of the people.

Which I need to look up what that means but I assume the jury.

But if he gets probation, then some amount of guilt has been established, right?

001 PC242-243(a)-M: BATTERY: SIMPLE
Probation

So yes.

Was charged with battery.

Battery was a misdemeanor and all the other charges were felonies. They basically gave him the lightest one.

Even though he was recorded doing it.

should have been attempted murder

Yeah but it’s California and they support him.

and if provable pre-meditated

liberals dumb

not liberals. commies

remember its Commiefornia

victim should sue in civil court

Wait, the fucker got away with a slap on the wrist?!

Pretty much.

Three years probation.

Wow

so the jury didn't think it was that bad?

Well it is California.

Commiefornia

*Commiefornicationnn*

What pisses me off the most about this is that he didn't "just" smack some innocent defenseless dude over the head with an improvised weapon, but he went there seemingly with the intent to cause violence.

He went there dressed in a disguise that would let him get away more easily with breaking the law. That's the point of black bloc

it's ok because a bike lock had no intent to be a weapon

Ban assault locks

ban assault porn

I carry a knife around purely for its utility as a tool, but I doubt if I stuck it in someone in a situation like that they'd view it as non-premeditated.

it's good to know you will not have the justice system on your side if you live in a far left culture

"OY You gotta loisence for that knife!"

Meanwhile in TX I can carry a goddamn longsword or pike if I feel like it
