I thought we were supposed to punch Nazis in the face. Here, it looked like a Nazi was punished for his racist opinions.
It turns out he wasn’t a Nazi. Some people of color had falsely accused him and covered up the severity of the attack on him. But in the Lemmyverse, we can tell who’s who, so the Nazis don’t need a trial.
White guy was stabbed by a brown person. Brown person denied the stabbing and said the white person attacked him and it was racially motivated. Brown person was not attacked and white person ended up not being a racist piece of trash. Police arrested bleeding white guy, white guy tells police he is stabbed and can’t breathe. Police told white guy he was not stabbed and white guy died because of his injuries while being arrested.
I appreciate you summarising the actual story/news article, but that is not what I was asking about.
My comment was a reply to rambling about… “Lemmy says to punch Nazis and this is what happens when you don’t allow people to make mistakes” which was barely comprehensible, chock full of false assumptions about what happened and what Lemmy users think, and topped off with a smidge of Nazi apologia.
I think the comment I replied to has since been removed as I can’t see it anymore, so I’m guessing you saw my comment as a top-level comment. No biggie.
Anyway, while I’m here, I’ll leave my actual thoughts on the story itself, which is that it’s a horrible tragedy. It’s also sickening how the far right are hijacking his parents’ grief to stir division and make some delusional point about white people being oppressed in the UK. Police have a lot to answer for on this one.
I can hear your silent rage as we honour all those Nazi killers in the past. Why are you bringing up the 40’s anyway?
Is it ok to kill Nazis? Shoot them, bomb them, gas them, firebomb them? History tells us it’s so, certainly mistakes were made, but we consider it a net good. But merely punching them? That’s beyond the pale.
I don’t think we should stab or punch people because we suspect they are Nazis. If they commit a crime, let the criminal justice system take care of it. I’m not in favor of vigilantism.

What in the world are you talking about?

I think maybe I get it, and there could be a reasonable thought buried deep in the short spurt of nonsense.
But dude’s gotta learn to speak if that’s the case.
A world in which it’s ok to punch Nazis in the face because no one ever makes a mistake.

Noted. We should be bombing Hampshire.
Noted. You think Hampshire is full of Nazis? I must admit you’re a strange person.
So punching someone in the face it’s equal to stabbing someone to death, according to you?
