I truthfully cannot think of an evil that has more evidence showing it is a terrible evil.

According to the law, yes it makes you the bad person because you will be the one going to jail for assaulting someone.

What about child molesters? If you know of one living in your neighborhood (easy to find out) what's to stop someone from applying the same logic? Is it okay to throw an egg at them? Why or why not?

After all, the rate of recidivism is quite high so we just know they're going to do it again! Even Nazis hate them! And you know they've actually committed a crime unlike a random white supremacist you've never met.

And if it's okay to egg someone, which we've already established can injure a person, why not just punch them? Same charge right? Assault? What's the difference?

Thermal, you are arguing with people who obviously can't think critically when it comes to this subject. It's a strange phenomenon we are seeing recently, both here and in the real world, and over a myriad of topics. If something can be tied to Trump the normal rules do not apply. They have taken it upon themselves to deem themselves "right" and there is no wiggle room there for you.
