I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't believe violence is the way to handle things, but this is also a very vile and dangerous man - and sometimes, words and attitudes are much more dangerous than a punch.

Hey, go for it. But if people start this kind of thing, they don't get to say where it stops. Alleged pictures of the unmasked puncher are already circulating online. Does he have any standing to complain if he is assaulted in return? I dont see how anyone can reasonably claim that. Are you sure you want to start this ride?


I'm told the assailant was tentatively identified as karma.


I am positive the assailant was an anti-fascist protestor, the same kind of group who did the property damage and burned the limo on Friday. He was dressed like one and hat sort of cold cock sucker punch is their MO. But it couldn't have happened to a better person, like I tell my kids you are responsible for the words that come or if your mouth, and words have consequences.

I'm a pacifist, myself, and wouldn't ever hope for someone to be a victim of violence. But I also feel like face punching is the appropriate response to Nazis.

Confirmation that he is renting a space at 1001 King St, right above Bluprint Chocolatiers. This is disguising, appalling, and I hope my neighbors in Old Town will make sure this hatred does not breed.

That said, I really hope the folks at Bluprint do not suffer consequences - they are good people who make delicious, delicate, and artful chocolates.

Interestingly, I looked up the property owner (public record) - and the owner appears to be Pakistani (or Pakistani-American). Likely did not know what kind of scumbag he was renting to.


Give me that over violent BLM folks any day of the week.

Most BLM aren't violent but I don't think when the landlord was renting out their apartment they would consider that to be their options. I wouldn't want to rent to a nazi, neon or otherwise.

Following are some quotes from Spencer’s latest speech at Texas A&M:

“At the end of the day, America belongs to white men.”
“You’re part of a bigger extended family, and that race has a story to tell. It’s a people and a blood and a place on the map.”
“Whether it was nice or not, and I’m not going to deny there was a lot of brutality that went along with it, we won,” Spencer reportedly said about civilizations built by Europeans, which according to him are eventually put in danger when their fundamental racial identity is lost.
“Race is real. Race matters. Race is the foundation of identity.”
“Trump was the first step toward white identity politics in the United States. He is not going to be the last. The alt-right is a new beginning.”


For all the leftists who have told white men how hateful they are and how they will be the minority soon, how is he wrong? Liberals always say race matters. Except the white race


As a Black American I can challenge that notion all day long. My people were here centuries before the influx of White Europeans through Ellis Island looking and receiving Govt sanctioned Handouts. We were here before there was a Constitution, Declaration of Independence, United States or a 13 colonies. Any White American who thinks this country belongs to "White Man" is absurd and needs to pick up a REAL HISTORY BOOK


OK, so now you are not only racist, but also xenophobic.

Why doesn't the media profile people like you as black nativists/ supremacists?

Also, given that for whatever reasons you seem to act in more violent ways than your white equivalents, I do hope the FBI starts to invest serious resources in weeding you out.

We have seen much more violence coming from BLM than from stupid folks like Spencer -- who just was a victim himself.

Um, is that it? Surely there must be more than those statements that got your knickers in a bunch.

What you see is NOT BLM. Don't believe the fake news or even the idiots that riot and loot under a name they have no relation to.

What about the PP was violent???

Spencer's statements on white identity politics terrify me. I do think that white identity politics are a logical outgrowth of identity politics + changing demographics where whites become a minority. Is there any way we can turn it into a positive identity?

As a real estate lawyer, I hope the shop, as a tenant, has a nuisance clause in their lease. I am curious as to how his presence plays out in that neighborhood. Will people protest outside? Will there be threats against him and his "think tank" that he runs out of that location? Will his presence, being the upstairs tenant, create a nuisance to the chocolate shop (in the form of protests, harassment, loss of business and security risks for the tenant on the first floor, aka the chocolate shop)?

Many of the small local businesses of OT have already started a campaign against Spencer with signs they are posting in their windows (they say NO HATE, tolerant ALX or something similar). But i doubt that will be the end of it, considering how liberal and diverse the City of Alexandria is. If people start to protest outside, then the chocolate store may have the right to exercise a nuisance clause (which if written correctly protects the tenant in such a situation and can force the landlord to intervene, protect said tenant, pay damages to the tenant and even let them out of their lease).

I suspect the landlord did not know who Richard Spencer was when the space was rented to him, I also bet Spencer used an entity as the tenant as opposed to himself as an individual, further masking his identity. Why he would pick Alexandria is curious, it is a very liberal city and OT is a very liberal neighborhood. Considering he is also living in that space, he will have to interact with Alexandrians at the grocery store, CVS, gas station, etc. People probably will start to recognize him. It suggests to me he relishes in conflict and confrontation.


Except this guy. It's ok to hate this guy.


Seriously though, Alexandria is not the bastion of liberalness people who live there want to believe it is. I live there. Mostly I find that my wealthy white rich neighbors like having the poors and "diverse" as learning lessons for their children and/or a way to feel good about themselves. It's rare to find those who really are looking to truly have an inclusive neighborhood or school or environment. In fact during the discussions on redistricting, I heard one of the moms in the George Mason neighborhood refer to the kids who are bussed over to the school as "nachos". She just didn't think anyone else was going to over hear her.


Yes, it is absolutely acceptable to hate what this guys stands for. He is not hated because he is white, or a man, or blond. His SPEECH, and his ACTIONS are hated. It is absolutely fine to discriminate against hateful speech and racism. I hate when idiots point out how liberals are SOOO tolerant, except for their point of view. What the hell? Its not ok to discriminate against people, but ideas are fair game.

Hey, go for it. But if people start this kind of thing, they don't get to say where it stops. Alleged pictures of the unmasked puncher are already circulating online. Does he have any standing to complain if he is assaulted in return? I dont see how anyone can reasonably claim that. Are you sure you want to start this ride?

But it couldn't have happened to a better person, like I tell my kids you are responsible for the words that come or if your mouth, and words have consequences.


The irony is that both that "anti-fascist protestor" and yourself seem to be more clearly fascist (including the justification of violence) than the Spencer guy.

All of you who are triggered by Richard Spencer being laid out by an effete leftist are going to really need to get to your safe spaces when you learn about World War II.

Tell us more about WWII.

Where you one of the Democrats supporting the massive incarceration of Japanese Americans because, well, some may have held views you opposed?

Or were you one of the racist Democrats supporting the use of nuclear weapons to kill as many Japs as possible?
