No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.
There was a whole dialogue about “is it OK to punch nazis” in like 2016. Most libs in my life, including a college professor were very against punching nazis. I’m certain any comment section outside of Lemmy is full of libs going “You can’t just assault people because of their opinions, that makes you just as bad as nazis”.
20 years ago I might have said you shouldn’t punch a kid for saying Nazi shit, because he doesn’t understand what he is saying and is probably just being edgy. By 2016 I was pretty on board with punching Nazis. In 2026, while I still would not punch a child because I am an adult, that’s about as far as I will go with that statement. Kid did good.
That’s pretty much what’s happening right now in France. I hope we get through this kicking more fascist asses, hopefully once Lyon remember its fucking history.
When your opinion is ethnic cleansing, no, using violence against that doesn’t make you as bad as the Nazis. Stop race hate by any means necessary. (Not saying that’s your stance, just my 2 cents to that dumbass argument)
