I’m not condoning his opinions, I don’t agree with him, but I think we should all consider how this might apply to the things we have the freedom to say here (something I am very much in favour of keeping).

I think we should shoot nazis. Primarily because they are traitors to King and Country.
I do not think the “punch a nazi” thing was every hypothetical
