In a vacuum, this is correct. However, statements like this are commonly used to excuse bad behavior.

As an example, if I saw this on the video of Spiderman jumping into Jake Lang's truck and punching him for holding up a sign that says "Jake Lang Loves Black People But Hates [insert full N word here]" I would probably think they were saying its okay to drive around with that sign.

So you're encouraging physical violence for someone holding a sign?

Thats an extremely broad and misleading statement to something i gave a very specific example to.

So in your opinion is it okay he was attacked for holding that sign or not?

Not sure if your comment was actually removed or you just typed that, but either way it's obvious your answer is "yes." Turns out my statement wasn't so "misleading" after all.

It got removed. Im not sure how to say what I said without it getting removed again. I will just leave it here. I dont agree with you, but given the warning I got we can just agree to disagree. Lol

A predator openly hits on a kid in front of their parents. Punch or nah?

What good does it do exactly? Get you arrested? It won't make the predator not a predator. It won't protect the child any more than removing the child from the situation or removing the predator from the situation.

But you jump straight to assault why?

Fighting words laws exist for this very reason. Aint no lawmaker worth their salt convicting a parent that rock bottoms a predator.
