LEFTIST THUG MAY BE HELD TO ACCOUNT IN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA

by Bob Walsh

Kyle Chapman (aka Based Stickman) is a new man. He used to be a generic garden-variety thug. He is now a thug with a cause; liberalism.

He is being prosecuted in Alameda County for assault on a pro-Trump demonstrator in Berkeley. He attacked the man with a lead weighted walking stick, which is a prohibited weapon in the formerly great state of California. The fact that Chapman has two prior felony convictions isn't helping his case much. He has priors for felony robbery and grand theft.

During his arraignment Chapman was ordered held in custody, pending a $135,000 bail. He posted on Facebook before his arraignment indicating that regardless what happened in court he would be attending the (now cancelled) anti-Marxist rallys in S. F. and Berkeley on Saturday. He was ordered by the judge to stay away from them, and to not possess any weapons of any kind while out on bail.

Chapman was also photographed at the Berkeley rally last month blasting people with what appeared to be pepper spray. Use of pepper spray except in self-defense is a felony in CA.
