Labeling and harassing someone based on nothing more than their choice of clothes is dickish.

8. Well no. It's thanks to the Nazi asshole who threatened and then threw his lit cigarette

at the guy who was telling the Nazi, correctly, that the Nazi was wearing a Nazi shirt.

9. Um, exactly what in this makes you so certain he was a member of that group?

Okay he's wearing a shirt. But that isn't exactly proof positive. I'm a big white guy with a shaved head. Doesn't make me a skinhead. The jumping to conclusions from little to no evidence is a really bad idea.

But even if he was a member of that group, how does a bar fight teach him anything?

11. He threatened the guy and thew a lit cigarette at the guy's face. Do you often do that?

If not, your fears of "but I have a shaved head and maybe they'll think I'm a skinhead and beat me up too" seem misplaced.

12. Good one, if he was a member of that group, nothing would teach him anything

These alt-righter "patriots" would rather sell their children into slavery than admit a person on the left was right about anything at all ever.

Heck, they'd make it into a contest who could sell their most children if it would "own the libs" more than the other guy.

Who refused to denounce Charlottesville? Who has massive support from white supremacists and refuses to denounce them?

THANKS RUMP!

That didn't even qualify as a real fight. Secondly, if I'm arguing with someone, and at some point I flick a lit cigarette into their face, I should be ready to defend myself because I'm going to get my ass kicked if I don't. That little exchange was more comical than violent.

7. Moral of the story: don't wear Nazi shirts to bars. And don't throw lit cigarettes at people's
