Here’s an update to the story from earlier today, about a fight in Kansas City International Airport between Rabbi David S. Fine and Nazi Steven T. Boswell.

It turns out that the swastika-sporting Boswell was at the airport to drop off none other than Jacques Pluss, the white supremacist professor recently fired from Fairleigh Dickinson University, who was a featured speaker at a convention of these troglodytes: Rabbi, Olathe man cited in KCI dispute. (Hat tip: lykeios.)

The incident occurred about 5:40 p.m. in Terminal C when Fine encountered Boswell, who was wearing a red shirt with a swastika logo and a necklace with a swastika on it, according to airport police reports.

“I told him that he should be ashamed himself for wearing those symbols in public,” Fine said Monday from New York.

According to the police report, Boswell responded by calling Fine “unhuman.” [I doubt this was the only thing Boswell said. —ed.]

The report said Fine, who was wearing a black business suit and yarmulke, then threw a cup of coffee at Boswell and punched him in the face.

But Fine said Monday that the fight occurred about 10 minutes after he initially encountered Boswell. “He walked up to me and got in my face,” Fine said. “I was scared for my physical safety. I did what I felt I had to do.”

According to the report, Boswell repeatedly punched Fine in the head. An off-duty Kansas City police officer separated the two before airport police arrived.

Boswell had driven one of the convention speakers to the airport to catch a plane, said Jeff Schoep, commander of the National Socialist Movement, the group that sponsored the gathering. ...

The speaker whom Boswell took to the airport was Jacques Pluss, a former adjunct history professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. The university dismissed Pluss last month for missing too many days of class, but Pluss — a member of the National Socialist Movement — said he was let go because university officials thought he was too politically incorrect.
