An assault and battery charge might be harder on you than you think. Plus, you never know if the cop is going to feel more sympathetic for a beaten nazi than an american hero. You do you, but a punched nazi will get right up and continue being a nazi - you can't punch another one from a holding cell.

    I am here for the anti-fascists who’ve made it their mission to stop Nazi violence with violence. I’m generally a pacifist, but when people are already hurting and killing us, I really have no problem with meeting their violence with necessary force.

    I am here for self-defense. Sometimes, the best self-defense is to throw the first punch.

    However. Not all of us can punch Nazis.

Eh. Eventually you have to stand up for something. Even if it hurts.

You do you, goob - I want nazis to get punched, I just want you to know what it'll cost you.
