Police: Man Named ‘Jihad’ Charged with Assault, Robbery After Attack at UC Berkeley Turning Point USA Event
Police say Jihad Dphrepaulezz stole a necklace from a Turning Point USA event attendee, sparking a nasty brawl that left him and the victim covered in blood while Antifa fought supporters of the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, according to a report by the New York Post.
The vicious fight transpired on Monday, November 10, exactly two months after Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University.
Dphrepaulezz, who was at Monday’s riot in response to Turning Point USA’s presence at UC Berkeley — which receives significant government funding via taxpayer dollars from both federal and state sources — was charged with assault and robbery.
“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,” a Berkeley Police Department spokesperson told the Post. Journalist Andy Ngo described Jihad as a “Muslim far-left extremist” who is also a rapper.
