Disagree. Them there were fightin' words the *sshole was wearing. The black guy was within his rights, IMO.

A shirt with the flag should be no problem. That is history. But the rest of it is despicable.

It's despicable, and yes, them's fightin words but to justify violence based on a T-Shirt slogan or picture, well that's not acceptable either.

Don't follow your reasoning. If you agree that those were fightin' words, how can they not be fightin' words at the same time?

Well, fightin' words do not JUSTIFY physical violence. I don't argue with the motivation, and can't say how I would have acted in the same situation, but I am not going to condone the violent response. It's still assault. Question back to you... do you think there are situations where someone's words or expressions are a legitimate incitement to violence? Interested to hear them.

Well, yeah. If someone calls me a Jew b*stard to my face, that qualifies; if someone uses the n word to an African American, that qualifies. And, the shirt, IMO, also qualifies.

This kid is the epidomy of the term "dumbass". Reminds me of the Orange Order assclowns that march through the Catholic areas of Belfast.

Hopefully he learned the lesson. If you're going to wear a shirt like that, you better be ready for a fight.

The black kid taught the punk a valuable lesson. It sounds like he even gave the guy a chance before hitting him.

Violence sometimes IS the answer.
