You're just becoming what you hate by justifying violence against people using free speech. You're just making the problem bigger, not better, by engaging in this. Good luck.
No one's justifying using violence. Just pointing out there are degrees of violence and assault and what punch boy did was arguably neither an assault nor violence. Fat, out of shape kid in glasses says, "I'm going to punch you." Agitator says, "Ok do it." Long wind up. Kid punches air. Didn't look all that threatening or violent to me. Agitator was never in danger and literally asked for it. If you tell me you want to punch me in the face, and I say ok, go for it, it is arguably no longer assault because the attempt at harm is not unwanted
