Well no it doesn't
The difference between your view and mine is I see one idiot throwing an egg at another idiot's scums head who is standing on a street waving a flag You see (forgive me if I am wrong) a hero fighting for some sort of cause against some modern day version of a Nazi underground force |

You're improving, but you're not quite there yet. I'll give you points for getting egg right this time, though. However (and forgive me for ignoring your "I see" and correcting it as if you hadn't made it clear that you are stressing your own bias):
... as the title of the OP said so succinctly. It's so easy once you've learned the principle. |

Nope
Still doesn't change my post I hate to break it to you but even if you believe this piece of crap waving a flag is a real Nazi who will actually do something about it. Guess what It is still a person standing on a street who has the same rights not to have things thrown at his head. Please point out where he isn't as your beginning to get boring |

Man! Now you're not only back at throwing "something", but you've also invented a new reason for egging the Nazi: "for waving a flag". Where did you get that idea?! And why do you want somebody (me?) to "explain how it is lawful"??? I've never claimed that it's "lawful", and I've never cared. |

I think the bit we are missing here is neither do I.
All I was saying is it is an act of violence because people were claiming it wasn't because he is a Nazi You might want to relook at my post saying I don't care if he got hit by a vehicle, trod on by a horse and smashed into by the AB forward pack |

Do you have a link to somebody claiming that it isn't an act of violence because he's a Nazi? I remember people claiming that egging somebody isn't an act of violence, and I've said that I would consider it an act of soiling rather than of violence: In the video I see somebody egging a Nazi from behind. (I don't know if it's because the egg guy is being considerate and wants to avoid any eggshell-eyeball contact.) |

I posed questions to you and you passed. I'm not complaining about that, but it was an opportunity for you to directly engage with me if you're interested in my perspective on things.
I grew up in the SF bay area but I've lived in WA state for the past few decades. Neo nazi activity isn't abstract in this part of the country. Just because nazis are worthy doesn't mean it's a good idea. Commonness of a practice isn't persuasive to me. |

This is another point where we disagree: I would much rather have the Nazi understand what's wrong with white supremacism: Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist. And I have a really hard time understanding why you "WOULDN'T CARE IF HE DIED HORRIBLY", and yet you get really upset because somebody egged him .... If I ever met him, I would throw this at him! |
