Dean Cain Knocked Around on Twitter for Saying He'd Knock a Teen Protester 'Unconscious'

Superman actor Dean Cain appears to be Pro-Fascist:

The teen protester smacked an egg against the head of an Australian Senator criticized after he blamed Muslims for the New Zealand mass shootings that have left 50 dead.

Dean Cain may have achieved fame by beating up bad guys as Superman on television, but he achieved a different sort of fame on Sunday for saying he'd beat up on a teenage protester.

The former star of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" inserted himself into a story coming out of New Zealand in the wake of the tragic shootings there late last week. His comments came in response to a tweet from Aussie journalist Deborah Knight, lamenting a politician attacking the teen after he was egged.

Cain's response to the story was twofold. First, he tweeted, "I would have knocked that kid cold." In another response, Cain added, "He would have been unconscious if it were up to me."

I'm so very, very impressed.

Why don't you tell us what you might have done to the white nationalist shooter, Macho Dude?

Dean, you’re about 100. The young protesters would kick your ass.

But it’s nice to know who would start the violence at the rally.

I was addressing the characterization of someone who is just over 50 as too decrepit to worry about, becuase he must be close to 100.

He like to be tough, but doesn't want a public spanking if he says anything that will garnish her attention.
