It shouldn't be legal.

But jury nullification still exists and is cool and good when used to help people who punch Nazis in their goddamn faces.

The moral of the story is gently caress the fascists.

Reminder: The punch Richard Spencer took for being a nazi was not caught on camera. He was punched for talking about memes in real life like it was 2005 or something.

The alt right in a nutshell.

Let me play a sad song on the world's smallest violin for poor little Nazis who got punched for being an advocate of genocide and also a case of being a terminally uncool nerd while doing it. The alt right can gently caress off.

Edit: in before whiny Reddit arguments about free speech or handwringing about legitimizing political violence when people like this guy already think murdering all blacks people is A OK.

I for one look forward to an America where certain minority groups are OK to murder with a speech to the jury about jury nullification and a wink and a nod.

"He carrying a sign advocating eliminating my race. Did you know that as the jury, and as members of the race he wanted to eliminate, you can vote not guilty if you don't think what I did was wrong?"

A poster stupid enough to compare punching Nazis to attacking minorities.

Also I don't think you watch the news enough. People already can attack minorities and get acquitted by juries in America. Fair is fair for attacking fascists too.

I'm kinda mad at the bystander that tried to unmask the hitter tbh.

Reflexively defending people under attack makes you a good person, which puts him ahead of Actual Nazi Richard Spencer.
