I keep thinking… nobody (that I know of) was mad when that one guy called the other the n word, and threatened to beat his ass, so he bashed his face in with a twisted tea. A woman gets slurred at and spits in a guy’s face, and it’s okay to hit her? Three times? She’s not allowed to defend herself?

It’s hypocritical. Either hate speech is violence or it’s not.

(In case it’s not clear, I may not have violence in me, but I fully believe twisted tea guy did the right thing.)
