I don't doubt that he clobbered a couple of people in self-defense, but the whole reason vigilantism is illegal is because these brands of idiots tend to end up clobbering innocent bystanders as well.
The dude's currently in jail (or free on bail) for multiple assault felonies, which usually doesn't happen if you're just defending yourself.

see its bad when antifa hurts people, but its good when some dumbass with a stick hurts them, because they're the Bad Guys and we're the Good Guys

I think it's important to note that this isn't just some guy that came to a protest and had to defend himself when the antifa idiots attacked.
He made 'armor', built his stick, and came expecting a fight. There is literally no difference between his mindset and all the antifa people that came for the exact same purpose.
SWAT One:
We're the people in the black masks affiliated with Black Bloc?

Except that this is Berkeley we're talking about. That city is a hotbed of Antifa. You noticed how no one on here is particularly surprised that this happened? It's because these days you can expect violent responses to Annoying Orange supporters organizing without Annoying Orange around practically everywhere you go. This guy's logic is entirely reasonable.
"If people are organizing a Annoying Orange rally in the same city that killed and battered people for organizing a Milo talk with lax response from the police, then forget, they need some extra defense!"
Judging from footage of him fighting/walking/talking he's pretty selfless in his defense of the rally-goers and only attacks when his friends are being attacked, while only assuming a defensive stance when threatened. If there were footage of him provoking people or attacking on the offense, we would've seen it by now.
Meanwhile, Antifa comes to these rallies only to engage in the kind of thing that warrants the based stickman to take such precautions. If the people coming to protest were %100 weebs and whiny children, I guarantee you that he would not be a thing at this moment.
