I went to a really diverse HS in the 80s, with real gangs, and the punks in my school were white, black and Asian - I kid you not. They were my friends. One invited me to a punk concert. I declined because I did not want to be crushed in the mosh pit. I'm super petite.

Maybe the SS dope thought "yea man I'm hardcore and so punk rockers should be good with me" - nope, wrong kind of hardcore.

Punk has been anti-fascist and anti-racist since its origins in the '70s.

As for moshing, I used to love the mosh pits at clubs but it seems to me kids today don't know how to mosh anymore, and at large events it can get out of hand and there is a crushing risk.

Moshing has always been chaotic but back in the day it was about the energy as opposed to violence, and though it was pretty normal to emerge with a busted lip, bruises or other minor injuries, moshing was not originally about random stupid flailing of fists and kicking feet, and definitely not intentional harm of others, or the a-holes who do it and try to claim plausible deniability. And back in the day there was always etiquette, like picking someone up if they get knocked down, leaving non-moshers alone, respecting venue staff, helping crowd surfers rather than messing with them or trying to knock them down and so on. We used to look after each other to make sure nobody (especially petite people) got badly hurt and there were times when I saw someone behaving like a jerk in a mosh pit intentionally trying to hurt others and I threw them out of the pit and called security on them if they didn't chill out. Seems like there's less of that "have fun but look out for others" culture these days.

PRB sent out an email yesterday with thoughts on 25 years of the festival.

A quote:

“PRB will always be a home for those fighting fascism, bigotry, and corporate control, with guitars, grit, and solidarity.“

I’m now bummed I didn’t get a chance to attend this year.

The symbol on the guys tattoos stand for law - enforcement; in this case: Secret Service (SS).

The symbol is very clearly for the German Waffen SS, who committed the worst war crimes in WWII, not least the running of concentration and extermination camps that killed millions. Anyone wearing an SS shirt at a punk show was looking for conflict. And the concertgoers were remarkably restrained as they expelled him.

Have you always struggled with reading comprehension?

The post two up specifically says “mood at PBR when I’ve attended is mostly happy punks, with a dose of hatred for police.”


They threw him out because he’s a police officer / SS Agent.

He’s quite clearly not those things. Did you listen to the audio??

The police hatred comes from the stage.

You are full of it and don’t know any Secret Service agents if you think they refer to themselves as “SS.”

If attend a concert where people are wearing this logo and you don’t do anything, you’re now willfully attending a N@zi concert.

You love to see it. More of this please.

Love the punks! Kick that Nazi out!

I remember the DC area in the 80s and 90s. White shoelaces were a guaranteed beat down. Maybe not an easy fight, but they definitely learned they needed to stay way out of DC and party west of Dulles.

All he needed to do is read the room, get a clue, and walk out. That would have been the simple, peaceful resolution. But instead, like an idiot, he thought he was going to make a stand and get everyone to back down and accept Nazis like himself.

"attractive punks" as a concept reveals you not only aren't punk, but know nothing about punks.

Correct, and also I'm not at all mad that he landed on his ass a few times on the way. Bro was given better than he was giving, and should consider himself lucky.

If you don't want to get punched, don't be a nazi.

100% agree.

And same applies if you’re at a protest with people displaying Hamas symbols.

Or an Israel flag or star of david.

+1 Having a flag of genocidal, racist country should not be allowed

Like the US flag? (PS the Star of David is a religious symbol).
