I believe the parent comment is referencing the 2017 Berkeley incident where a professor ambushed multiple conservative and libertarian protesters from behind, hitting them in the back of the head with a bike lock.

3 years probation for whacking 7 people in the head--something that could very easily result in death. A person his age knew this without a doubt.

How he didn't get 7 counts of attempted murder is beyond me.

Presumably, as a professor of ethics are Berkeley, he was hitting people in the head with a bike lock in an ethical manner.
