No. I know. And I'm right there with you in spirit (just not in action). Take heart that there are a lot of good people out there pushing back against these kinds of guys through all sorts of outreach programs and education programs and victim relief programs. They're not as viscerally satisfying as clocking a man, but they're a lot more impactful and definitely a lot more legal. So there's that, if it helps.

Just as importantly though, is you're a good man and you can't focus on doing good things weighed down both by the courts and by the knowledge that some guy gets clocked and then uses it to seemingly give himself the upper hand. Nazis are sly little punks. They know how to play the game.
