Comarade "Craig" can safely be ignored. Once he reported me for racism because I posted my customary Orc picture in a Ramaphosa bashing thread. #GoFigure

What exactly is the point of the meme above? What's the context in relation to the topic under discussion?

Ask yourself: Was he punched because he was black, was he punched because of the EFF cap, or both? Or probably "other things" happen before the punch came. But of course: some choose to see one reason only.
What would happen after we have asked ourselves these questions? fact that is not going to change is that the Pastor was assaulted, why even bother with 21 questions?

If one makes assault as a fun thing, why not?

So it's fun because the guy was wearing an EFF beret? Look, I may not agree with EFF on a number of things but I don't think I'll resort to assaulting one of them to make a point. Clearly others disagree.

Absurd questions aside, he had no right to assault the pastor unless it was in self-defence.

I've seen someone get triggered by slow moving traffic.

Looking at the pics it might have been a combination of testosterone (steroids?) poisoning and deep seated resentments...... also we don't hear the other side of the story, maybe the pastor stupidly said something that triggered the over-confident oaf.

I'm not saying it's good he did it, it was stupid to say the least, there are probably other non-mentioned factors involved though.

Somehow assault seems like it wont make the correct point yes, at best it will reinforce a few EFF delusions.

Fairness in all things and situations?

If it's a result of an incident not captured on video, then why not try to resolve it in a civilised manner? Why blindside the guy? :)
Have you ever seen someone loose his temper and be reasonable at the same time? Throwing the first punch for the sake of catharsis is always stupid yes but not always uncalled for, some people ask for beatings and then claim victimhood when they get their cumuppens, this might or might not have been the case here we don't know and honestly.... is it REALLY any of our business when two idiot adults scuffle? Would we even have heard of this if the puncher was not white? I'm sure plenty of blacks also give random punches to political agitators that run their mouths, during the elections there was lots of that.
