(21,875 posts)...that's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Keep it to the subject at hand, and cut the broad accusations. While I don't necessarily agree that violence is a good first option, I can sympathize in this case.
My patience with neo-nazies is very short. I guess I picked that up from my WWII generation father. One of the most non-violent, easy going individuals I've ever known, but two things would really set him off. Neo nazis, particularly in this country, and Holocaust deniers. He'd seen Buchenwald first hand and knocked heads with member of the Waffen SS on several occasions from '44 to '45. He absolutely, unequivocally hated, to the point of extreme physical violence, anything tied to Nazism. So if he were alive and on that stage, he would have knocked the crap out that idiot. Some things are just beyond the pale.
