If that guy threw a banana at someone he deserved to get put to sleep by that person. In general I think it's easier to ignore a guy that you know is trying to piss you off.

Let's not forget the upper northwest, especially Washington, is ground zero for neo-nazi/white supremacist groups. Not much sympathy from my end.

Some good points there but they will find out that how much feelings matter when they enter the real world and get a quick education.

I also don't think helping the less fortunate or making sure opportunities are for everyone is cutting anyone down. Im not sure if that's what you're referring to, but there is that sentiment among many. The people who look at Affirmative Action as an attack on white people.

The guy who was hit with the banana was justified in punching the guy if he chose to do so. Other guy...not so much.

It has absolutely nothing to do with sympathy. It has to do with the betterment of society.

Fine, but not because he's a Nazi, because he threw the fucking banana.

But mainly because he's a nazi who threw a banana.

What?

I dont think so. Throwing something at a person is some kind of assault.



If not, please give me the list of things Im allowed to throw at people because that would be fun.;

Maybe so, but I wouldn't sympathize with the banana thrower. And I don't sympathize with the guy wearing the swastika armband either and I'm not going to lose any sleep over him getting punched, but it's not a good idea for society to support the concept that punching him is okay.

It's the law, have some lawer explain it to you. because someone throws a banana at you you are not allowed to kill him. they talk about this in self-defense courses.

When reading these threads I always find it odd that the most intolerant people are usually complaining about someone slighting or being mean to them. As is their quest for validation of their ideas and opinions that aren't usually factual in any way.

Kill or punch? I feel like we might be taking leaps here. I could be mistaken.

I have no issue with a Nazi being knocked out, but there should similarly be no issue that it's illegal and the guy who threw the punch should be arrested.

What? No you wouldn't. It's self-defense.

Excessive Force in self defense. A punch to the face could very easily be classified as lethal force, especially if you could have just walked away instead.

Here's the throw a drink in your face and punch the guy example.


The throwing of the drink is a battery and could potentially count as an aggressive act in most states for determining who was the provoking party in deciding whether one party to the affray could be charged with aggravated battery.

In most states, however, a brawl of the nature described would likely be treated as “mutual combat”, and neither party would be charged with battery; rather, both would be charged with disturbing the peace, affray, or some other offense that essentially criminalizes having a brawl in public. Consent is a defense to battery, and in this context the initial throwing of the drink is viewed as an invitation to brawl and the returning assault as accepting the invitation, making the entire affray a consensual brawl and thus not inherently criminal. The combatants have no claim against one another, either criminally or civily; the offense here is getting into a brawl in a place where others are, or may be, disturbed or otherwise harmed by it.

You cannot plea self-defense as a defense to a charge based on a reaction to a completed offense. You can only use self-defense as a defense to a charge based on conduct you engaged in to prevent an impending threat to your person, or to interrupt a threat in progress. Once the drink has been thrown, the damage is done. You would only have a self-defense argument if you reasonably believed that additional things were going to be thrown, or that some other form of attack was imminent.



I think a Nazi throwing a banana can reasonably be expected to attack further.

I guess we'll see. I hope they aren't arrested if they were assaulted with a banana for being African American. Could be a hate crime, no?

Seems possible but I'm not really worried about what happens to the Nazi. He's obviously an idiot. We don't need to play into his plan.

What the hell are you people talking about? Some insane person wore a Swastika and threw a fucking banana. Now we're justifying murdering him?

Do you guys think you're gonna be okay after hearing the recollection of this horrific event?

Again I don't think so because this is the real world that people are now expecting to live in.

AA is not an attack on white people. I'm specifically talking about what goes on at schools at the elementary level. Helping the less fortunate are making sure opportunities are for everybody is not cutting anyone down. I would say not everyone is equal in talents, intelligence, charisma, etc and people will not end up in the same place though. That doesn't make anything unfair. We have a duty to take care of the ones that get left behind but we should not be finding automatic fault with the ones that are successful.

There was a girl at out school not to long ago that wanted to play kickball at lunch but the group (really the popular person) she wanted to hang out with wanted to play 4 square. The popular girl was called in to the office because bullying, reprimanded, and made to play what the other little girl wanted. Who's wrong there? The popular girl? Why? Because she is popular? She automatically has to do what the one that that's not as popular wants so it's "equal" so that girl can feel good about herself?

Are you kidding? That's not funny and it's not a joke. Its not just a random person throwing fruit.

A fucking Nazi throws a goddamn banana at a black or jewish guy and you dont think that guy has a reasonable fear of violence?

Yes, most sane Judges would go along with that.

Jews/Palestinians/Murdering Nazis. I feel like the board is finally growing up. If only BigFan could see us now. Where will we go from here?

_________________

Murder? No

Punching? Reasonable response from the guy who was hit with the banana.

The line is physicality. He can shout Heil, Hilter and death to Jews all he wants. The minute he throws something, it stops being about free "speech"

Let's take it out of the realm where most can identify:

The Old Navy Preacher says some hateful stuff against homosexuals, right up to the point of saying they should die in this life. Would you protect someone punching him?
