    Anyone assaulting anyone deserves to be arrested. Assault is, you know, against the law.

    Yes, but for some reason, the police usually overlook assaults when the Antia do them. This time they didnt. ;)

    Hello Carbon product...
    While it is indeed a victory when any perpetrator of an assault is arrested and held accountable, this is but a small drop in an ocean of a complete lack of civility in a far too polarized society. There are way too many of those who encourage and praise civil disobedience. They cheer as their leaders tell them to confront and harass "wherever you find THEM". Too many people reaching conclusions, not based in any use of thought, but through the gullibility of relying on grossly exaggerated hyperbole and then using those conclusions to justify their hate and violence, not just in deed, but in thought, the irony is of course that hate and violence are acts of the thoughtless. 
    Your anecdote with Antifa is a perfect example of how people have become exactly that which they claim to detest. Antifa ( anti-fascist), seeks to fight fascism through the shutting down of free speech through violence...HUH???..how on earth do they reconcile that??.
    We have separated into our own "identity" groups and have decided that not only are the other groups wrong, but they are somehow mentally deficient.
    That is more harmful than a punch in the face by some creep..
