Three Men in Nazi Garb Beaten Outside Punk Show. What Happened to Freedom of Expression?
Those who think it is still safe to dress up like a Nazi and attend hardcore punk rock concerts, pay close attention: Friday night in Philadelphia, three freedom-loving Americans who enjoy adorning themselves in Third Reich military regalia were reportedly beaten silly by a gang of thugs outside the club Khyber, where the punk band Murphy’s Law was performing. Witnesses say the three men were mostly just mocked inside the show, but once they went into the street, out came the beer bottles. Up to 50 people may have participated in the beating – nevertheless, Philly police say they got no report of an assault, and no one was hospitalized. Some online postings have suggested the severity of the ass-kicking was exaggerated in other online postings. I don’t know what the full truth is, I just know that I don’t want to live in a country where it’s not safe to impersonate Nazis. The right to get cheap attention by dressing up like murderous anti-Semitic bastards is one of our most sacred. Indeed, where would Jesse James and Bombshell McGee be without it? There have to be consequences for these real violent thugs who pounded the crap out of the three guys pretending to be violent thugs, otherwise pretend violent thuggery will disappear from America, and then we will all be stuck dressing up like vampires and sexy nurses at Halloween, and that is no fun whatsoever.
