A violent “protester” named “Jihad” was arrested on charges of assault and robbery following a brutal confrontation at a Turning Point USA rally at the University of California, Berkeley.
Antifa thugs attacked conservative attendees at the event on November 10, marking the two-month anniversary of the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, Breitbart reported.
The man in custody allegedly stole a necklace from someone in the crowd, which led to a fight.
Both the victim, who was wearing a red shirt emblazoned with “Freedom” like the one Kirk wore on the day he died, and the alleged perpetrator, Jihad Dphrepaulezz, were left bloody from the confrontation.
A spokesman for the Berkeley Police Department said:
“Officers determined that one of the men — Jihad Dphrepaulezz — had stolen the other man’s chain from around his neck.
“The other man was attempting to get his chain back from Dphrepaulezz.”
This was backed up by citizen journalist Andy Ngo, who shared photos of the victim and the suspect.
In a post on X, Ngo called the attacker a “Muslim far-left extremist.”

Several protesters showed up to agitate at the event and attempted to cause their usual chaos and violence.
“Antifa is breaking through police barricades and threatening our event attendees!” wrote Mikey McCoy, Turning Point USA chief of staff, in a post to social media.
According to Fox News, the protesters, many of whom were clad in keffiyehs, were chanting phrases like “UCPD KKK” to taunt police officers.
They also repeated phrases such as “Turning Point has got to go,” “fascists are not welcome here,” and “Trump must go now.”
Arguably, the worst of their rhetoric involved taunts about Charlie Kirk during an event planned two months to the day of his assassination.
“Charlie Kirk went to hell… all the fascists will as well,” a protestor said into a megaphone.
Fortunately, as Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, pointed out, this did not deter those who were there to honor Kirk’s memory and mission with the event.
“Despite Antifa thugs blocking our campus tour stop with tear gas, fireworks, and glass bottles, we had a PACKED HOUSE in the heart of deep blue UC Berkeley,” Kolvet wrote on X.
“God bless these brave students.”

Unlike previous instances when these clashes have occurred, President Donald Trump’s administration is not about to let it go unpunished.
As CNN reported, at least three were arrested during the violent protests, as the Justice Department has promised to pursue those causing mayhem.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force have promised to investigate the incident further.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division have pledged to pursue the criminals to the fullest extent of the law.
They have launched an investigation that Dhillon said will be “a deep dive into all the potential criminal and civil aspects of this horrific situation, including our concerns about UC Berkeley’s history of not protecting conservative speakers on its campus.”
The administration has ordered the UC Berkeley Police Department to preserve its records from the event.
“The violent riots at UC Berkeley last night are under full investigation by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force,” Bondi posted to X.
“We will continue to spare no expense unmasking all who commit and orchestrate acts of political violence.”
Bondi called Antifa “an existential threat to our nation.”
