Lots of knock outs in this thread are as satisfying as the video itself.
Never going to condone this shit. If you think that violently assaulting someone solely for their political views - however reprehensible they might be - is okay, then you are not one of the good guys. Even the person who may or may not have been responsible for this happening is refusing to identify himself - because he believes that exactly the same will happen to him, at the hands of someone who thinks his political position is unacceptable.
BeefyPunched more then a few guys that called me nigger. I guess one of them could be a Nazi.
No, a NeoGAF user did.
SavageNope. One did not. A NeoGAF user did.
It's called not defending Nazis.Damn straight they wouldn't. They would have some sort of system in place to deal with it, like, for example, laws against hate speech. Despite what some people might think, being against punching people in the street in a way that could cause permanent damage or death is not in any way equivalent to condoning Nazis.
Being a Nazi isn't just a political view.
Another thing to note is that this incident is an example of internet mob justice, which has a history of backfiring. Though it may have gotten a guy who was obviously provoking such a response this time, what if the internet targets the wrong guy? Like what happened when internet detectives said that some innocent guy was the Boston marathon bomber?Never going to condone this shit.

yeah let's just lump the genocide of pretty much every single minority in with "political views"
Yeah, that was weird. I swear their name was red, lol

Nazi views are reprehensible. Their harassment should be resisted. But vigilantism is a dangerous route to take for a reason.

Damn straight they wouldn't. They would have some sort of system in place to deal with it, like, for example, laws against hate speech.

I rather have them criminally prosecuted. Being a Nazi can't be a right.

Yep, these sorts need to get into a WW2 documentary or book right now to get that important jolt of perspective.If you think being okay with a Nazi getting punched is somehow giving up the moral high ground over Nazis, then you have a very fucked up view of morality.

No longer a mod, it seems
So I take it you feel yourself belonging to the "other" group seeing as you refer to your fellow board-members as "You gaffers"?
It's nice living in a country where symbols of hate are banned, isn't it? Swastikas and Nazi Saluts are both banned here as well.
What?
Dude maybe if someone had just had a nice friendly chat with Hitler, where they could meet in the middle, millions wouldn't have had to die.
Why not just fake it like that one guy who spray painted "blacks rule" on his driveway or the lady who carved a B in her cheek?
Right.And in the absence of those laws, some have offered an alternative option. One that seeks to minimize the newly-perceived safety of the Nazi ideology. Essentially, the potential violence of espousing that belief may in fact keep others from "letting their Nazi freak flag fly". Not a vector I'd go in, but it's a method that might work in their particular aim.
And as you mention legal remedies, the police will handle any such punching in a local case.
Only thing I disprove of is using social media to stalk. Had that happen and it's creepy as fuck where I still never post where I am till after I'm done.
Everything else can be summed up as, well, probably should be a nazis.
What?
You mentioned punching racists, and your username is "Beefy". That brought a smile to my face because I imagined a beefy dude punching racists.
Sorry if that was unclear. ^^
I think it's a play on words, you punching idiots, "Beefy Member".
Question to those saying Nazis shouldn't be punched..
Are you ok with punching someone who identifies with ISIS?
I see no difference between the two.
Because a fake attack can be easily disproven, this one has video evidence of it happening, basically this Nazi took one for the team to advance the narrative.
Beautiful.
"Night, night"
What narrative? Be a Nazi and get punched?

Goddamn. And people still call you the n-word to your face huh. Well, guess it's no surprise racists are dumb as fuck, but you'd think they'd at least have a sense of self-preservation. lolOh! Thought you thought I was a mod aha. 6ft5 and black, helps that a lot of people that shout shit are dudes that have small man sydrome.
