In this case, one used violence hiding his face.

Without knowing much about either person, the violent person displayed much worse behavior.

The devil you know and all that jazz. Im not making excuses for the fascist racist but it should never be acceptable to meet rhetoric and ideology with violence, regardless of how disturbing it may be.

Completely agree. Violent actions are worse than "violent" rhetoric; i just don't understand the "I'll support one over the other." I get that it probably meant nothing, but it was a weird way to phrase it. I just don't think that either should have any implication of support.
