        Eh. I agree with the sentiment, but it’s weaker behavior than the instant punch. You implicitly agree that “fucking whore” is an insult, if you do that.

          People are acting like this doesn’t happen in pro hockey sometimes too.

          I haven’t actually watched it in many years but I used to be a big fan, and every now and then someone would do or say something so egregious, that they’d get sucker punched (or something worse like slashed in the face with a hockey stick). And the person who did it would usually get kicked out of the game for it. But his teammates and the fans that knew what was up would support them as they skated off.

            The intent to insult, is an insult itself, sure.

            But the content may be, or not be. The “fucking whore” insult, as content, is a misogynistic insult.

          Weaker behavior? I do applaud the kid putting the aspiring frat bro in his place, but equating aggression with strength is bonkers. There are other, better ways for educating fools than a damn sucker punch.

              Fuck off. By this logic it’s ok for anyone to just walk around punching people that offend their moral views, sensible or not.

                No.

                It’s not about offending moral views in abstract. It’s about specific assholes that put their “moral views” into violent action. When someone is violent, it’s proof they don’t see their victim as a person.

                Therefore it IS ok for anyone to just walk around punching people who instigate oppressive violence.

                Also, please don’t fall for the paradox of tolerance, I will lose a lot of respect for you.

                Those people should be punched.

                  I think you would be right not to respect me, I’m quite a shit person. Anyway, as we are commenting a post about a kids hockey game here, I think jumping to violence as a first corrective action is a bit much. I guess it’s impossible to say what age the players were in the anecdote for sure, so if they are something like sixteen or seventeen then go ahead, the jackass had his opportunities to learn civil behavior. The image in my mind was of something like 8 year olds, and even if I think the initiative to help is admirable even then, I really think we should try to raise our children to learn respect before resorting to violence. Or rather, in my stupid idealist mind I want to see people who don’t consider violence as a solution at all.

                  Makes me hate the world and hate myself, but it is what it is.
