I do not condone violence, but this little weasel is just pathetic. But like a good coward he scampered away quickly after getting his clock clean.

Really topped off this video.

Too bad that piece of shit didn't lose a half-dozen teeth. It's what he deserves. He's a fucking Nazi.

I have a hard time getting exercised about it when it happens to a guy like that. They don't really understand anything other than force and humiliation. And I don't think they understand how much people hate them. So now he knows. If he complains let's point, laugh and call him a delicate snowflake, shall we?

"A priviledged glimpse of the bleedin' obvious" g÷z Benny Hill in the early 80s made me laugh.The idea of a rw neo nazi using Yakity Sax would make me consider renting a powered cart too carefully for my SS/medicare budget. Thanks for saving me money.

We should expect to see some of ours sucker-punched as well. I'm not sure this is the road we want to go down unless we are prepared for it.

anarchist dude and Richard Spencer. It was kismet, a thing of beauty. The guy who did the punching is not "ours". Decent people on the right don't want Spencer. I hope that Yannaopolis dude gets one on the kisser too. They are just hardcore racist trolls looking for attention. Well he got some.

Talking with a fellow rabble-rouser earlier today, this person made the observation that Democrats and progressives need to learn to be dangerous again. We need to learn to menace the right-wing again. We need to learn to scare the fuckers again, and keep them scared.

Fuck pacifism. The feds and the right-wing have appropriated the memes of Martin Luther King to keep us ineffective, to keep us doing nothing but stupid street theater that keeps us out of the halls of power.

Sometimes you have to speak their language.

Sometimes, you have to tell them that if you continue to wage injustice against us, eventually they will get war back. Punch out their teeth, bankrupt their businesses, burn down their houses, if that's what it takes to put an end to their apartheid and their economic warfare, the ends justify the means.

How did unions get enough power to force big companies to pay fair wages, give them fair hours, implement workplace safety, and so on? By becoming dangerous. By forcing these companies, at times, with violence, to be fair. Interpretive dance wasn't a useful tactic for them.

How did the LGBT community get as far as they did? One word: Stonewall. A fucking riot. Broken windows, all-out clashes with riot cops, four days of mayhem. That's what it took to get the rest of the world to pay attention. Kumbaya didn't get anywhere until Stonewall.

Sometimes, violence works. Sometimes, violence gives positive outcomes.

We have to become dangerous again. So I'm fine with hurting this neo-nazi piece of subhuman filth. He earned it.

ready to get punched by some of his followers? It's easy to be a tough guy around friends, try it in a community where many people think like Spencer.

That's what they live for. I agree with the poster above you. The left needs to become dangerous. I don't want it to be just our side that bleeds. Let them know they're in for a fight.
