State University Investigates White Supremacist Who Punched Social Justice Warriorette In Berkeley

Officials at California State University, Stanislaus are investigating after a video surfaced showing Nathan Damigo, a 30-year-old white supremacist student at the school, violently punching a far-left, female social justice warrior right in the face.

The altercation occurred last weekend at a free speech rally in Berkeley, California — about 100 miles away — as various factions of the far-right violently squared off against various factions of the far-left (for the third time this year).

Stanislaus State officials initiated the slow-moving investigation on Monday, according to The Signal, a student newspaper.

“The university has zero tolerance of violence and we will take all of the necessary legal and disciplinary measured to ensure that all students and everyone on campus have a safe and secure environment,” Ellen Junn, president of the taxpayer-funded school, said in a statement.

Stanislaus State visiting lecturer Fela Uhuru said he was happy that Damigo violently punched the woman.

“I’m glad that it happened because it’s really showing his true colors,” Uhuru told The Signal. “It’s like he showed his true colors on Saturday by attacking that woman and it showed him as a hypocrite.”

“We must build alliances across racial and ethnic lines,” Uhuru also said. “That’s how we’re going to defeat people like him and people that think like him on the far right. Their heart is filled with hate.”

Uhuru, who specializes in ethnic studies, is himself a political radical. His Ph.D. comes from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a school in San Francisco founded in 1968 by new-age yoga aficionados. Last year, the school gave an honorary degree to former U.S. Communist Party leader Angela Davis. Faculty members include “Starhawk,” a neo-pagan ecofeminist.

Damigo is an Iraq war veteran and a convicted felon. He served five years in prison for armed robbery after pointing a gun at the head of San Diego taxi driver Changiz Ezzatyar. Damigo took $43 from the driver. He also reportedly said the driver “looked Iraqi.”

Prison was a lonely time for Damigo, he told the Los Angeles Times last year.

“That’s when I finally started looking at the more intellectual roots and started researching books and literature on race and identity,” Damigo said.

A book by former Ku Klux Klan imperial wizard David Duke touched Damigo deeply.

Louise Rosealma, the woman Damigo punched, belongs to an anti-fascist collective from Southern California and is as far to the left as Damigo is to the right.

Her Facebook likes include Marxist Internet Archive Users Discussion Group, Unique dreadbeads and Vegan Cyber Army.

Another video of the Berkeley fringe-group rumble shows Rosealma — her face covered with a bandana — tossing M-80 fireworks at far-right protesters, according to The Modesto Bee.

The punch from Damigo produced some bruising and a tiny scratch on Rosealma’s nose.

In 2016, Damigo founded Identity Evropa, a largely male, alt-right group with a fondness for neo-Hitler haircuts and capital letters. On its website, Identity Evropa describes itself as “a generation of awakened Europeans.” Also, despite the name, Identity Evropa only accepts “applicants from the USA.”

This academic year, Identity Evropa’s “Project Siege” has covered college campuses in at least 20 states with Greco-Roman-style racist posters. (RELATED: Hardcore White Supremacists Are Plastering Campuses Across America With Racist Propaganda)

“Project Siege is the beginning of a long-term cultural war of attrition against the academia’s cultural Marxist narrative that is maintained and propagated into society though the indoctrination of the future managerial class. If we are to be successful in combating the current paradigm,” Damigo wrote in an online message about his “Project Siege” plans, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Identity Evropa’s Twitter feed mentions some variation of “Make America Great Again” a total of 8 times.

Damigo is reportedly majoring in social studies at Stanislaus State.

Last week’s Berkeley rally produced about a dozen injuries and nearly two dozen arrest, according to NBC Bay Area News.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
