| Subject: Heroic Alt-Right Activist Known Online as 'Based Stickman' Gets Probation for Assaulting Deserving Commie-Protesters With Leaded Stick Fri Sep 27, 2019 8:51 pm | |
| An alt-right activist convicted of possessing a leaded stick has been given a surprise sentence of five years of probation, along with a verbal reprimand from a California judge Wednesday. Kyle Chapman, 43, is a fervent Trump supporter who describes himself as an "American Nationalist." At a March 2017 pro-Trump rally in Berkeley, California, Chapman was spotted allegedly assaulting protesters with opposing political views. A Berkley police officer said in court documents that Chapman could be seen using pepper spray on opponents at the event. A video which became popular among alt-right activists allegedly shows Chapman, wearing what appears to be body armor and a baseball helmet, hitting an anti-fascist protester with a stick at the event. Chapman's alleged activities at the Berkeley rally eventually resulted in the man accepting a plea bargain, pleading guilty to one charge of "possessing a leaded stick or billy club." Chapman had agreed to a felony probation term of three years in the plea bargain, but was surprised to find that Alameda County Superior Court Judge Mark McCannon had a different plan at Wednesday's hearing. "I was under the impression it would be three years," Chapman told the judge. McCannon then offered Chapman the opportunity of throwing out the plea bargain and allowing the case to go to trial. Chapman declined the offer, and accepted the five year probation term. "You were armed to the teeth at the protest," McCannon told Chapman at the hearing. "And the next thing you know it was a melee."
