re: #1 klys (maker of Silmarils)
Violence isn’t okay on either side. Period.
I understand the feelings about what’s at stake - I’m pretty anti-Nazi, personally - but that doesn’t make violence okay.
I suspect the Nazi’s initiated the physical violence. The anti-nazi members might be attacking them vociferously but it would likely be verbal. Nazi’s, at least the common riff-raff, are likely to be predisposed to violent behaviour. They do soak themselves in hate.
Of course, given my recent record, I may be pulling a Bill Kristol.
