Sean Patrick Duff was on his way to see Baby Driver on Sunday when he saw a white man wearing a red armband walking near 3rd Avenue and Pike Street. The man, whose name is still unknown, was being "belligerent" and "Alex Jones-style yelling" at passersby, which began drawing a small crowd, Duff told The Stranger.

One bystander, a white man, approached the neo-Nazi and yelled at him to "get the fuck out of our city." The neo-Nazi then called the man an "ape and threw a banana at him," Duff recalled. Within moments, another man ran from across the street and punched the neo-Nazi in the jaw, knocking him out.

Although he didn't anticipate a physical altercation, Duff said he was "hopeful" that the man donning the Nazi armband would get punched. Duff noted that he was "really high on like 800 mg of THC" and stood back with about a dozen people during the incident. Another bystander caught video of the altercation, and posted it to YouTube, but the service removed the clip for violating "YouTube's policy on harassment and bullying."

Thankfully, World Star Hip Hop has the video:

Some people who hadn't seen the fight initially tried to help the man who was punched, Duff said, but immediately backed off when a member of the crowd told them he was "Nazi trash."

When the man in the armband began to recover, he rolled over onto his hands and knees and reached up to someone for help, but "nobody wanted to help him," Duff said. Soon, police officers patrolling the area arrived to the scene and the crowd dispersed.

"Everyone was so joyous," Duff said. "It was like a bonding for the community."

Liberals always solving problems with violence.

If the guy who battered the Nazi gets arrested and acquitted will riots break out?

Seriously though, he needs to be arrested.

Sympathizer

I would hope most would agree we can't just go around knocking out people whose views we don't like.

Sounds like a college bar well shot.

Yeah, gimme two liquid cocaines and, oh yeah, one seattle nazi puncher - no grenadine.

Nasty Nazi mix equal parts Rumplemintz and shake well with ice .serve in shot glass.

Yeah, but there are views and there are views, right? If you believe the Bears should start Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky against Pittsburgh, we can agree or disagree, but no one should punch you in the face for it. If you wear a swastika on your arm and call people apes, well, talk shit, get hit.

As little as a year or two ago, I think I would have agreed with you, CH. I wouldn't now. I mean, I understand the sentiment, sure, but I disagree that it should be legal.

You don't think Nazi paraphernalia is an incitement to violence? I think it is now more than it was a year ago.

Of course the guy deserved it. Legally not so much.

Just to get it out of the way, it's fucking disgusting behavior. But we all agree on that.

I don't know if it necessarily incites violence. It's a solo guy, right? What if he's a soldier experiencing PTSD and has no grip on reality? What if he's just a crazy person who doesn't have the proper medical attention? What if he is extremely ignorant and doesn't understand what he is truly representing?

Maybe he was just being ironic.

Fuck what's legal. Do what's right.

"You stand accused of assault and battery. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"It's just how I felt."

"Case dismissed!"

Nah, this guy was the anti-Quad City Pat: he did lay a shithead out but didn't talk about it on the internet all day.

Fuck what's legal. Do what's right.
