Im not racist, just a violent asshole, trust me. That fits better.
Trust me, you will see quite a few violent assholes in Australia.

My boy is going there next summer, I'll tell him to keep his head down.

No dont get me wrong its quite safe, but its not the land of milk and honey that its sometimes made out to be. There is definitely an undercurrent of racism amongst the entrenched middle class though.

A boy egged him, and he punched him in the face. It's the perfect way of saying "I'm not a violent racist asshole, trust me."
I think the guy is a jerk, because of what he said.
But I don't think you should be prejudiced when looking at his response. He didn't know it was an egg. How could he? All he knew is something wet had hit him, that he'd been assaulted, and he stuck out. It could have been acid - we've enough of those attacks recently. It could have been the first of many attacks. After the first hit he strikes again and this time it's simultaneous with the egg boy attempting a punch.
I don't think he did anything particularly wrong. Everyone is going on about oooh look how violent he is. Yeah, tell that to all the acid victims, tell that to all the people that got sucker punched on the second hit. If he gets charged over this then it really is a libtard conspiracy and I'm a liberal.

A thread about white supremacists shooting up some mosques and someone posts a video talking up the dangers of radical Islam. Very topical and considerate.

Thats just wrong. Delete that post Purg. Highly insensitive. It was radical Christianty that was behind this one. So if there is a finger to be pointed then that is where it would go.

I dont think that was the point of posting that clip.

It wasn't radical Christianity acting as the motive behind the NZ shooting. It's hard to say exactly what the guy believed in, since his manifesto was primarily rage bait bullshit specifically tailored to divide and spur on more violence.
If I had to take a stab at a guess, I'd say he seems more aligned with the #whitegenocide movement.

There was nothing untrue about what Purgator posted. It's exactly how I feel about religion. Hitchens cuts through the bullshit in Christianity as well as the Muslim religion. I can't disagree about freedom of speech even when I recognize it is trying to control or spread hatred or ignorance. I hate those things. I hate suppression of speech worse. Unfortunately we are going through a period where we are electing ethnocentric assholes who encourage violence. The perpetrator mentioned Trump and his admiration for him. We all know Trump's support of white nationalism. We hear the dog whistles and the response of the supremacists on the hard right. We see the whataboutism and know they just favor the Christian religion at the expense of the very principles espoused by Jesus. But just now we stand with the Muslims. Not because we agree with their view, which is often the most authoritarian and unforgiving crap, but because we are decent and mourn with them that there are those in our midst who carry out violence in disagreement of free speech. We hope with our deepest heart that the crazy does not win. Even the violent among us, of which I have often been one, understand it is wrong to kill in the name of anything except total subjugation.
Got to laugh about that asshole getting egged though. Obvious him and his people are violent and intolerant assholes and they showed it to the world. I'm glad the egger didn't get choked to death. That man is a hero. He did what we all want to do. No. We all WANT to punch them. But he found a more effective way to expose them for what they are.
