Last night, I went to a concert in Tempe. Flogging Molly. At that concert there was a dude in a

[lonestarnot]

red shirt with a big black swastika in the front. Someone said to me "hey look at that dude's shirt. Did he just want his ass kicked today when he got dressed or what?" There were throngs of folks there. I saw him later in the evening still walking around in one piece. I would like to think he had a few beers spilled on his head or a couple of plastic bottles pinged from thereabouts. Fuckwad.

1. So why didn't go do one of those things to him?

2. He was probably looking for attention and a fight

When you completely ignore assholes like that, it shatters their world.

3. So he should have been physically attacked for having obnoxious opinions?

5. At best, a massive idiot. I will say I've met people who don't even know what the symbol stands for.

Literally.

Still no excuse, but an indictment of our educational system.

6. At best.

7. So, what did you do?

8. Just watched the simpleton walk by in his mental neuron misfiring glory twice.

10. It's good that your peer was also able to see the wrong there. I think

he was probably seeking attention and thought that would be a good place to get it. That's what people that would wear something like that want, attention. Good or bad. And he succeeded.

Anyways, here's a sample of Flogging Molly that I particularly like:

11. My local subculture uses post it notes to great effect.

Local etiquette is to place a hand on the back between the shoulderblades to let the person dancing in front of you know you are there -- helps maintain the bubble of elbow exclusion. It is also a great opportunity to add a few mocking bumper stickers to their oh so suddle (sic: local slang for not subtle at all) and unfortunate fashion statement.

Notes usually follow twitter main rules - 140 characters, provide actual content above "you suck, go away." I've also seen similar postits alerting potential romantic interests of poor behavior (zie drinks, mooches $). Security keeps an eye on those, and are quick to react if something goes down.

Not many fights, lots of firm expulsions from the club.

12. its best to let the real crazies beat themselves up

The guy is a walking time bomb .
