The Unfiltered Voice of Christian Preparedness
đ§ BLUF
At UC Berkeley, a Turning Point USA event turned violent when a masked, far-left Muslim protester allegedly robbed and beat a TPUSA vendor/attendee in the face, leaving him bloodied on the ground.
The attacker, 25-year-old Jihad Dphrepaulezz â a California public-health employee and rapper âA.R. The Believerâ â showed up gloved and masked, then tried to melt back into the crowd after the attack.
Viral video shows the bloodied conservative cuffed and led away first, while the attacker initially blended into the mob â the perfect snapshot of campus double standards in 2025.
Hours later, DOJâs Civil Rights Division announced a federal probe into whether UC Berkeley failed to protect conservativesâ First Amendment rights. The message: this isnât just âcampus dramaâ anymore.

đĄ CONTEXT
A TPUSA event at UC Berkeley drew the usual cast of far-left and Antifa-aligned protesters. Tensions escalated when a masked protester allegedly ripped a chain off a TPUSA vendor, then repeatedly punched him in the face, leaving him bleeding on the pavement. The suspect was later identified as Jihad Dphrepaulezz, a state public-health worker and Muslim rapper who performs as âA.R. The Believer.â Initially, officers cuffed and walked away the bloodied conservative while the masked attacker drifted back into the crowd. Only after more evidence and witness statements did police arrest and charge Dphrepaulezz with assault and robbery â just as DOJ announced a full civil-rights investigation into Berkeleyâs handling of conservative speech and mob violence.
â ïž THREAT PROFILE
What this incident reveals about campuses, state employees, and the new ânormalâ:
State Employee, Street Violence
A California Department of Public Health employee allegedly shows up to a campus protest in gloves, dark clothing, and a face covering, targets a TPUSA vendor, snatches his chain, and pounds his face. Thatâs not âstudent unrestâ â thatâs an ideologically motivated street attack by someone on the government payroll.
Two-Tier Reflex on Campus
The first person cuffed and marched away? The bloodied conservative vendor. Only later, after witnesses and video, is the masked attacker arrested and charged. This is the bias millions already feel:
Conservative, white, Christian, pro-freedom shirt? Presumed problem.
Masked far-left protester shouting the ârightâ slogans? Presumed victim until forced otherwise.
Antifa Environment, Predictable Outcome
The protest was organized and amplified by far-left and Antifa-style groups. Reports mention clashes, fireworks, paint and glass thrown at police â yet somehow the real âpublic orderâ priority became removing the TPUSA attendee who got his face smashed.
Federal Line in the Sand
DOJâs Civil Rights Division, working with the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force, has opened a probe into whether UC Berkeley provided adequate security and whether officials tolerated mob intimidation of conservatives. If this is more than theater, itâs a warning shot to every university treating right-leaning events as open season.

đ§ââïž FOR STUDENTS & CONSERVATIVES ON CAMPUS â PRACTICAL STEPS
You are in contested territory. Act like it.
Document Everything
At events, assume you may need evidence later.
Film from the start of the event, not just when things go bad.
Capture faces, clothing, and any visible weapons or tools.
Back up video to the cloud immediately.
Know Your Rights & Your Risks
You have the right to speak, assemble, and table â but understand that culture and instinct on many campuses tilt against you.
Stay on the right side of university rules and local law.
Donât be the one to throw the first shove or insult; keep your posture disciplined.
Move With a Buddy System
Never table or attend a hot event alone.
Pair up at tables and exits.
Have a designated âcamera personâ and a designated âwitnessâ who isnât yelling back.
When Violence Happens
Get Off the X: create distance from the attacker and the mob.
Call 911 as soon as possible; clearly state who was attacked and what happened.
Show responding officers your video and name witnesses on the spot.
Do not let anyone talk you into ânot pressing chargesâ in the name of âcampus unity.â
Law Up Early
If youâre injured or arrested, contact an attorney before making detailed statements. Conservative legal-defense groups exist for exactly this reason â know which ones serve your area before you step on campus with a sign.

đ©âđŒ FOR UNIVERSITIES, ADMINISTRATORS & CAMPUS POLICE â PUBLIC-SAFE REMINDERS
If youâre serious about âsafety and inclusion,â this is your audit.
Police Violence, Not Viewpoints
Your job is to prevent assault and robbery, not to manage ideological outcomes. If the one bleeding is the one in cuffs, youâve already failed the optics and the mission.
Neutral Security Planning
For any high-heat event:
Require clear protest zones and keep egress lanes open.
Put uniformed officers between speakers and mobs, not just watching from a distance.
Enforce the same standards on all sides: no masks, no weapons, no projectiles.
After-Action Transparency
When an incident happens, publish clear timelines: who was arrested, why, and what charges were filed or dropped. Sunlight is your only chance to rebuild trust with students who now assume the system is rigged.
Train Against Ideological Bias
Walk officers and staff through scenarios where the âapprovedâ identity is the aggressor and the âunapprovedâ conservative is the victim. Make it clear: facts first, politics never.

Whether charges against the attacker stick, get plea-bargained away, or quietly disappear.

đ§ SDN ANALYSIS â JON WHEATON
Berkeley laid the pattern bare: a masked far-left activist shows up with gloves and a disguise, targets a conservative for robbery and a head shot, then tries to vanish back into the mob â and the first person who ends up in cuffs is the guy bleeding on the ground. That isnât an accident. Itâs what happens when an entire culture quietly decides that âthe wrong kind of speechâ invites violence.
If youâre a conservative on a modern campus, understand this: you are in enemy-held terrain. The institution may still print your diploma, but it will not automatically protect your rights. So document everything. Build networks. Lawyer up. And donât let anyone gaslight you into thinking that political beatings are just âprotests that went too far.â They are a warning of what comes next if the line isnât held.
