This kid:
“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.
“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.
What a legend.
“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.
And what a weasel.
Absolutely prototypical Grima Wormtongue guy. Would bet money he wants to get into politics he is probably shaping his career path after Charles Kirk.

Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.
If I was duders parents that’d be two days of pizza and soda and a informative talk about how permanent records are bullshit.
Huh, so that’s how Eric Cartman was created.
Harvard should roll out the red carpet for this legend! I think he’s submitted a flawless application essay.
Are they bull shit?
Pretty much yeah. Like if you burn a school down or catch felony charges (Homey woulda got a misdemeanor if anything and a slap on the wrist punishment if it did go to trial.) thats a whole other thing, but popping a dude in the jaw? You aren’t losing your shot at MIT or Yale or whatever.
You need to know that though. I disclosed a suspension I didn’t need to and got a rejection letter from my dream school, which was super interested in me until after they called me to ask about it. The rejection was dated the same day as the phone call, so I’m pretty sure that’s it, because they’d already separately sent two people an hour and a half to sell me on the school.
The suspension was for going to breakfast with my carpool buddy on her first day back in school, after her grandfather died. On the way in, she started hyperventilating and saying she couldn’t go in that day and having her first experience with death, so we went to a diner instead. We got sandwiches and she talked about her grandfather for an hour, then she was calm enough to go into school. If we’d explained it to any of the adults in our lives, they’d have been fine with it, but we lied about it and got the minimum punishment for skipping school once it all came out (she folded). I didn’t realize that it wasn’t on my school record, so I included it on my college applications.
If I’d gone there, I probably wouldn’t have studied abroad, which later enabled me to immigrate to Germany, so I’m not too upset about it anymore, but it sucked at the time
Why the fuck would you ever narc on yourself?
I disclosed my history accurately because I am comfortable with my choices and if I lose out on something because of them, I can accept that.
I stay happy with myself that way, which is more valuable to me than a specific school.
There’s zero advantage to ever do that, you can only be happy narcing on yourself?
There’s not zero advantage to honesty, my friend.
This happened in Seattle, proud of that.
The 206 represents!
He accepted the consequences. We all heard it.
The school also offered Spud a “safety plan” in response to online threats he has received, but Spud said he declined the plan.
Of course he has, if a troll behaves they cannot troll people!
Administration: “Okay, potato… err… Spud. Here’s our suggestion: Don’t support murder and internment of minority groups. Especially publicly. It’s likely to make people angry at you and may be dangerous.”
Potato: “No that’s my only hobby”
I think its more simple of a safety plan for someone named spud.
Something like, just shut the fuck up, that is it"
He knew the consequences, he did it anyway. Legend.
He should get punished. Doesn’t mean it was the wrong thing to do.
Punching a Nazi should always be determined in self-defense.
Yup, I think it’s appropriate. He punched someone at school. Actions have consequences no matter the reason behind it. I got suspended for a day because a bully had his hands around my throat and I cold cocked him in the side of the head.
It’s what makes us better human beings than the right. We are perfectly okay with holding people we agree with accountable for their actions. I hope this kid has a great two day vacation from school. Sleep in and put your feet up, kid.
Is the person he punched also getting punished?
But on the other hand he shouldn’t have to tolerate intolerance.
Spud, who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, posted the 47-second video to his social media profiles on Instagram, X and TikTok later that evening.
This kid sounds like the ultimate little piece of shit. I hope he and his followers grow out of it, but he’ll probably make a bunch of money and be offered a senior position in the federal government. Which won’t prove him right, though he’ll think it does.
I hope the cops are keeping an eye on him, because by the time he hits his college years he’s going to be trying to slip unidentified powders into women’s drinks at the bar.
This is the reality we live in.
If I was his parent I would’ve made those two days the best
I’d have a stern talking to the lad, while he’s eating the biggest wad of cotton candy on whatever mega-rollercoaster is closest to our house.
Sternly: “ya did great son and everyone loves you. Ya punched a budding Nazi and made it both entertaining and endearing, there’s no PR firm on earth who can ever stir even a shadow of what you did”.
More people should honour Punch a Nazi Day.
(In case of doubt, Punch a Nazi Day falls on any day that ends in ‘y’.)
And a lifetime of cred.
Fucking legend.
That kid is a fucking hero. I said so on Reddit when it happened, and I’m saying it here now as well. I condone his actions and, if more people did what he did, we would stand a better fighting chance against this loathsome menace currently destroying everything good in the USA and abroad.
While I generally agree that all Nazis must be punched, this can be counterproductive.
Look what’s going on in France. A Nazi got into a brawl, died from his wounds, and now he’s treated like a fucking national hero. The left in general are portrayed as terrorists.
Don’t underestimate how efficient the right is at playing the victim.
It doesn’t matter. They’re getting what they want. You can play nice and let them have what they want, or you can take some risks, stand for what you believe in, and fight back.
Fighting back against school bullies is also “against the rules.”
I mean it may feel good to punch one of these Nazi’s, but it doesn’t mean it’s helping. I love what this kid did, don’t get me wrong. We absolutely need to fight back and stand for what we believe in, but getting violent, except out of defense, is unproductive and only deepens the wedge between the left and the right, making things worse.
Kid was walking through the high on attention with a big ol sign to advertise for an untrained, highly aggresive, indescriminatly brutal paramilitary force acting out of their jurisdiction and kidnapping people off of the streets mostly without even documenting where they take them. Kid knows damn well what he supports and wants everyone to know it.
There is a time for civil debate and there’s a time for punchin’
I think carrying a sign in support of ice should count as punchin’ worthy.
Its helping. They want you to keep silent. That is their main goal
People are going to have to do more than “punch Nazis” before long. If you’re clutching pearls over some high school punches, you need to wake up.
but it doesn’t mean it’s helping
This is one of those categorical imperatives where it has its desired effect as long as everyone consistently does it.
If we don’t resist, they’ll lie and say we did. If we defend ourselves, they’ll say we’re violent. So doing nothing, or doing the minimum, is ineffective. In fact, not doing things because of worries about potential fascist reactions is nothing but cowardice that plays into their hands.
only deepens the wedge between the left and the right, making things worse
There should never be any unity between the left and the right, and the violent right shouldn’t exist at all. If you’d like to eat a meal that’s 50% horse shit, that’s on you, but there are times when the only correct course of action is not to compromise. This is one.
Fighting back against school bullies is also “against the rules.”
As a kid, I had problems with bullies. Then I grew, trained, and fought back with increasing effectiveness. That ended it, and the suspensions I got along the way were a cost of doing the right thing.
That just means they’re not killing enough Nazis.
And we need to crush this bullshit! Especially in Lyon it’s absolutely mind-blowing that this little shit is allowed to even be recognized as a victim. We fucking judged Klaus Barbie in Lyon when I was a kid, and people dare to say a nazi is a victim. You’ve no idea how insane this whole thing is.
Every time a Nazi gets punched , an angel 😇 gets their wings.
Every unpunched Nazi makes the baby Jesus cry.
this can be counterproductive
I see no downsides at all as long as you don’t explain why you’re doing it and don’t get caught.
Did reddit ban you for promoting violence? Pigboy steve only allows conservatives leeway in what they post
No, though I did post specifically that I condone what he did. It wasn’t that though. I’m dual national American and French. I grew up a lot in the USA, but I’ve been living in France for over ten years and I’ve chosen my side in this fight. To that end: I’ve been 100% serious about getting off of the American tech stack. I’ve left iCloud (Apple Music forthcoming) entirely, and been getting off of more and more non-EU/FOSS places. I’ve been blogging about it to help others. It’s been rewarding. Lemmy was just another step to take. 😃👍

Oh look, a fascist troll. Blocked.
The same agents who are raping, murdering, and molesting children in the ICE concentration camps? The same ones who brutalized, terrorized, and murdered people in communities so they could deport immigrants, 5% of whom have criminal records?
Yea okay I’ll keep protesting.

Just as a post script- I know I won’t convince you to hate ice, but maybe I can convince you that I don’t hate you. That the left doesn’t hate you. I need to remember the right doesn’t hate lil’ ol queer me. We hate what we’ve been told about each other.
Renee Good’s last words were “I’m not mad at you”

Nobody would, you’re right. And yet a whole lot of people do hate ICE. It’s a thinker, that one, for sure.
If that’s your bar, then we need to deport every Catholic priest and cop. They are much more likely to hurt someone I, or you, love.
We’ve been brainwashed into thinking some brown kid from across the border who’s parents went through hell and back is the problem. Frankly, we’ve also been brainwashed into thinking the angry MAGA capped West Virginian is the problem. It’s not.
You know the problem. It’s your health insurance premiums. It’s your cost of food. It’s your cost of living. It’s your pain. It’s the same pain that made the brown folks come here and the West Virginian vote for a rapist convict.
That pain doesn’t come from a made up immigrant eating a dog. It comes from a group of men that could fit in a school bus who have ensured we stay disconnected and dumb so they can rob us blind. ICE is here to enforce this belief, not keep us safe.
The only way out is to kill a king. The only way to kill a king is to trust your neighbors. 14% or 5%

Where gofundme?
So far I don’t think it exists. At least not with gofundme as it would violate their TOS apparently. Danny Spud has a site, but I’d question it (and won’t post it because of that). Our brown hoodie hero is unnamed and hopefully will remain so for a while given the propensity of the right to be retributive in their violence.
Yo srsly
