Hmm perhaps a judgement call... I just watched the vid and to me that was out of order.. he might have utterly abhorrent views but at that point he wasn't saying anything bad to anyone specifically... and so I don't think that was deserved...
Hey, personally I think we need to bring back the fear that being an a**hole might get you punched or slapped in the face and nobody is gonna say boo about it because you were being an a**hole. Some people deserve and need have an a**kicking.
However if you're going to go around punching Nazis? You might want to learn how to throw a real punch instead of that impotent bumping that guy did. SMH son, learn how to hit if you're gonna do it. I have a real hard time calling that a punch.
So the guy referred to as a Nazi is standing there exercising his Constitutional 1st Amendment Rights to both "freedom of speech" and probably to "peaceful assembly for redress of grievances" and some POS physically attacks him for no legally valid reason.
It's criminal assault and battery and maybe even a violation of the "Nazi's" Civil Rights. The attacker should be arrested, charged, tried, convicted and sent to prison. Unfortunately it's typical behavior of the violent left that think that Constitutional Rights only apply to them and no one else.
Got any examples of when "the right" was violent after the 2008 elections? I don't remember any issues but perhaps you can refresh my memory with some impartial references.
But even if you can find something just how many "wrongs" does it take to make a "right".
No two wrongs don't always make a right ( but sometimes they do). However, when people spew BS about "the left" or " the right" while ignoring their own sides same or similar behavior or try to paint a false picture of a behavior being that of " the left" or " the right" when that side has done the same thing just as often. Well sir, that is called "being disingenuous".
Using mental akido such as " impartial references" to preemptively dismiss any possible examples is doubly so. That's a childish and ignorant tactic to seem always right and justify ones own bias by creating an "out" for any example or argument since " well that's just y'all being partial so that don't count". Laughable.

Your link is interesting. Apparently fabricated, "alternate facts", but interesting. Only one of the stories alludes to someone being physically harmed but I can find no credible news sources to back that claim. (Surely NBC, CBS, CNN or local news sources would have also covered the story, but nada.) The one about hanging an effigy of candidate Obama at the University of Kentucky is apparently true, but no one was harmed. Doing so is protected by the 1st Amendment, no different than burning a US flag. The rest of the stories are barely hearsay, not enough information included to verify any of them. Now if you want to present some verifiable information I'd be happy to take a look at it.
And two (or more) "wrongs" NEVER make a "Right", contrary to how you apparently feel.

Not so. I'd gladly accept the reporting of a couple of credible news organizations as proof of fact. (A good reporter never accepts a single source, always seeks verification from multiple source.) You have failed to provide even one.
It's true.. He's free to say what he wants. And, the guy that hit him committed a crime too.. But, as a Jew, I enjoyed it very much... As an American, I'd think you'd enjoy it too. No, huh?
NO is right. No decent, law-abiding citizen of the United States would enjoy seeing such a violent violation of someone's Rights irrespective of their expressed beliefs. It's the left's kind of thinking that put that particular Socialist party into power in Germany in the late 1920's and early 1930's to begin with.
As an US citizen I'm more horrified that the leftists think that the Rule of Law doesn't apply to them and that it's OK to attack someone that has a different belief system than do they. And that they enjoy seeing violence enacted against those that have those differing beliefs. It's part of my belief in our Constitutional government. "The left", on the other hand, not so much . . .
Oh and when a fellow citizen punches you for talking like an a**hole or saying your piece were someone doesn't want to hear it? Not an assualt of your Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Speech doesn't entail freedom from consequences by others. When government thugs, police, military, or action punches you in the face for it, then it's a violation of your Constitutional rights. The rights in the Constitution protect you from government suppression and action, not public citizens.
The law does not allow for physical retribution against a person, or persons, because they uttered something that you find offensive, no matter how deplorable their words. It only allows for self defense of the other party, or parties, unwarranted physical action against you or someone that you're trying to protect. If you believe differently and act out on that belief let us know where you're going to be incarcerated for the next 10-years and someone on the site may send you cigarettes occasionally.
Considering the Nazis' reputation for violence a measure of self defence may sometimes be called for.
However, I have discovered that lawyers do not always appreciate people getting their retaliation in first.
