Aussie Senator Fraser Anning gets egged and punches a teenager - Polidicks

Apparently getting egged is only a short step away from outright murder to some people. Though disproportionate responses to such violence? Totally A-okay!

People hate the guy who blamed the victims for their own deaths. Wow facepunch why are you so politically one-sided?

The kid might have not gone the right way by egging him in such a way but the response was way to fucking much. Especially if you're a politican.

There are posts in this thread advocating punching them. Actual violence I hate him to. I'm referring to the forums as a whole lately, not with this specific case. Hence, side note

its an egg, not a hammer to the back of the skull

He once called for a final solution to immigration and he seems to associate himself with nazis.

what's with this jelly-legged bollocks where while the far right are out advocating genocide and shooting up mosques, the left have to act like absolute saints to have a point? people ain't stupid, you can see with the overwhelming reaction to this egging - being support for the boy - that violence isn't treated as an unjustifiable sin.

No one said murder, people have said punch however It's advocating assault. And even if it weren't, People are also advocating actual punching He's definitely scum and pretty shady to boot. But whether you like it or not, you cannot say objectively say without bias that he is absolutely 100% a member of the Nazi party His response isn't what I'm talking about, I'm saying the act of smashing an egg over someone's head (all around assault basically) should not be encouraged over discourse

Oh shit I finally get to say this. Alright, you ready? The world isn't as black as white as you think my dude. He seems to be comfortable around nazis and he's even comfortable enough with them to use their rhetoric. When people call him a nazi, a fascist, or any of the other words you're under the impression ~the left~ uses on everyone they don't mean he's a member of the nazi party, or that he's in 100% agreement with the nazi party. (Heck I'm not even in 100% agreement with the people I vote for). In fact, there are probably things that you or I agree with the nazi party on as well. You also seem to be forgetting that the modern day nazis aren't the nazi party and that they have evolved as well.

If he had just turned around and said "Don't be a dickhead mate", he wouldn't have looked so bad.

This prompted the creation of a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his legal fees (and more eggs), which has so far raised close to $42,000. However, the person who created the page said Connolly had got in touch with him and said that "he is committed to sending a majority of the money to the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attacks".

He probably is and you're probably right but I'm trying to avoid the slippery slope of using the term "Nazi" for everyone that comes out with something even minutely controversial My post boils down to my concern that so many people are fine with assault as long as it's against someone that they don't like. And to the posters that said "it's only an egg" and have yet to get back to me when I pointed out punches have been advocated Do they agree with the people saying punching is fine? Or is it okay if it's just an egg? And if so, where is the line drawn for what is or isn't okay?

fraser anning is a fucken dickhead and he's said a lot more shit than something 'minutely controversial' He straight up used the term 'Final solution' in regards to immigration in his maiden speech, and he has attended far right rallys organised by neo-nazi groups. I don't like when people just throw around the term Nazi loosely but in this case it's very fitting.

It's not so simple a matter as "He's someone I don't like" The rhetoric he's peddling is exactly the shit that's motivating people like the NZ shooter. It's not just "controversial", it's actively threatening the lives of innocent people. And guess what, people fight back when their lives are threatened. Like others have said, an egg is quite tame for someone saying Muslims deserved to die.
