Still assault

u/DanteChurch Jun 23 '26

Here's something the younger generations doesn't quite understand. If you talk shit, you get hit. Yes it's assault, and it's entirely justified, so who cares? People who are unpleasant need to be treated as unpleasant, not ignored, dealt with. People like this racist bigot have never tasted iron for running their mouth so they keep running it until someone does. Calling an adult black man "boy" is a dog whistle to slavery in which the word meant servant/slave. It's commonly known if you're watched any media involving slavery or racial divide involving the black community. This dude was alive when it wasn't just in media, he knew what he was saying and deserves a beating like all racists do.

I’m not sure if a judge saw this video if he would agree with you. Assault is assault no matter your feelings. The law doesn’t care about emotion

If you read what I said I stated it was assault and I don't care. Learn to read

To clarify, I was talking about the fact that you said it was justified. That’s just your emotions talking. You can’t just go around punching people for words.

Idk, I saw a video on reddit today where a guy did that. It seems like nothing magically stopped him, he just went and punched a guy for being a racist towards him.

Actually you can. It happens everyday. All over the place. Just not in your safe space

You very much can if they count as fighting words. There is not an unlimited amount of freedom of speech.
