What's the evidence that the guy who knocked him out was using Twitter to hunt the Nazi down and beat him up?

Literally one guy on Twitter. I think it's bullshit.

He started saying racist shit to a black guy and got knocked out. No one hunted him down.

My name is Jon Bones and I advocate violence against Nazis.

I was not aware this was a controversial position to take.

The nazi armband is very clearly visible in the video, there's no way this can be used to garner outrage or sympathy.

Holy shit that's one hell of a punch! He got off easy.

Let's not get carried away. A much bigger guy hit someone who wasn't defending themself. He's hardly Rocky Marciano.

The fella deserved a slap, but I'm not about to congratulate the puncher on that knockout.

What is sick is being a Nazi in 2017. For fuck sake these guys support mass genocide. Fuck the narrative that some idiots may have.

I never said what this guy is doing is good. This guy is clearly a scumbag, but I cannot, and never will support violence like this.

Post this when an antifa plows into a group of nazis with a car

What scares me more, is this kind of thing, which is now going to be quite high profile, will spark a retaliation. The alt-right have already shown they're willing to try to kill protesters with vehicular attacks, I don't want them taking it any further.

An escalation of violence is not what we need.

How did we go from destroying Nazis to sympathizing their modern day pussy ass followers?

Fools deserve to get knocked the fuck out. Get the hell out of AMERICA

Two things:

A. 800mg of edibles is insanity.
B. While punching Nazi's isn't something I'm against, I fear this will be used the by the right to prove the left wants violence. Especially with the way in which he was tracked using social media.
I am of the left. I need this to protect me and my people where the government and white moderates have failed.

I don't give a fuck what they think.

We are already dying over this and their only concern is their free speech. Fuck the nazi sympathizing right. Fuck them all.
 
Made Gifs for you all:

Haven't watched the video so I don't know what he said, but I love him holding up his hand before the punch, like the literal nazi is trying ti say "hey, let's be reasonable." If that was his intent, that's beautifully hilarious in the irony.

I can't have any sympathy for a nazi being punched in the face.
 
Fuck Nazis.

I 100% support mob mentality and vigilante violence against Nazis.

Track em down. Trash em. Track em down. Trash em. Fuck taking the high way. They´re Nazis. They should be fucking scared for their lives at every single moment of their absolute pathetic existence. Go Twitter. At least you´re good for something.

I'll most likely get killed for this, but unless the Nazi dude was threatening people physically, just because someone spews nonsense you find disgusting and disagree with it doesn't give you any right to lay your hands upon them.

Nazis thinking it's okay to be nazis around minorities like it's just some regular ass thing is a threat to my existence.
 
This is sick, and the people supporting this are sick.
And you all wonder why the "both sides have extremists" narrative exists.

I don't wonder at all. That narrative exists because of people like you that are willing to equate literal Nazis to people that oppose those views.

The system already failed a long time ago, friend.

Still nothing to celebrate, not unhappy to see a "nazi" get knocked out, people's reactions and excitement are what's disturbing. A few more incidents and we'll get to the hysteric point where people just want to see the other sides blood spill. Medieval Europe style. Not a country I want to live in.

Foresight has never been one of western civilization's strengths, so par for the course I guess.

maybe if we give them the sudetenland again they won't try to enact another mass genocide

second time's the charm, right
 
While I don't think this is morally wrong, I don't think this helps any cause, and vigilante justice is a slippery slope. Without a doubt, this will be used as propaganda on the right to "both sides" everything. Unfortunately, I think it will be very effective, and hurt us in the long run.

I hope people keep being smart about this, and don't start punching random people because they think they are Nazis. Last thing we need is news of an antifa guy beating up someone because they thought they were some guy in photo, but they were just some guy getting coffee.

There is no escalation of violence.

People who publically choose to identify as white supremacists continue to occasionally get socked in the face.

This is the same level of violence as we've seen time and again.

If someone thinks they should be able to wear a Nazi armband and walk around yelling hate at strangers without getting punched in the face...

they deserve a punch in the face. Again, nothing more than that. But yup. That's what you get. That's what you should get. That's what he got.

The escalation already happened! The responses are either look away, say nothing, as these people get MORE bold and do MORE attacks... Or stand up to people like this and let them know their life style is NEVER ALRIGHT. Guess which side most of the people in this thread are on.

Criticizing violence = nazi sympathizer? Get a grip, seriously.

Sadly (or...fortunately? ) the days where people disguise their bias and racism with a very polite and, at first glance, reasonable opinion are over.

No more "but but" or "both sides!!!"

Because America has finally reached the end position of all libertarian nations: a failed state wherein white people are more concerned with lofty, intangible ideals like absolute freedom of speech than they are with protecting their most vulnerable citizens from fascists.
