My personal belief is that you shouldn't punch people who have not attacked you first.

I also believe in attempting to avoid conflict. Wearing things that will **** off 99% of the people you encounter is really setting yourself up for a beating because there is no guarantee that all of that 99% of people share my beliefs on violence.

And when you do get attacked, on the list of people to feel sympathetic for - you will be ranked pretty close to the bottom.

If you wear Nazi gear in public who cares what happens to you. They could have chopped the Nazi up into little pieces and my reaction would still be who gives a ****.

I'm about as troubled as I was by all the Vigilante groups who became famous media figures and talking heads - remember all of them back in NYC in the 80's??

My thinking is that the black dude who cold cocked him was NOT a member of any vigilante group...but I am willing to be proven wrong. The Nazi was hassling people both on the public transit and on the street - you can find plenty of regular citizens to offend enough to get punched out.

THe Nazi claimed he was armed and was exercising his 1st and 2nd Amendment rights. Everything that happened was 100% legal because the Nazi didn't make any claims to Police. So he was fine with the little love tapping. If people agree that they want to lawfully tap each other, all is well.

So was the guy a real Nazi or just out there portraying one to stir up controversy and make it look like Nazis are running amok? Kind of like in Charlottesville with all the crisis actors and those idiotic tiki torches.

>>>> They're remaking " Death Wish" with Bruce Willis set in Chicago. I wonder if that will stir up vigilanteism. Gotta love Hollywood stirring up the pot and then decrying it when it boils over and makes a mess.

Is that what you're going with? Has Alex Jones made that claim, or did you come up with it all on your own?

Common sense...Glad to see someone has it. If only more people across our nation did.
