A new video showing a man in a Nazi armband getting clocked quickly went viral, eliciting a slew of approving reactions.
In the video, which you can see below, the man, wearing a Swastika armband, shouts white supremacist slogans in what appears to be a public transit station in Seattle. An African-American man walks over and punches him, and he falls to the ground. The man who delivered the blow can then be heard saying “ain’t nothing to talk about” as he walks off.

The video — and punching of Nazis generally — was quickly and widely celebrated on social media. The new video recalled a January video of white nationalist Richard Spencer being punched on the day of President Trump’s inauguration.

on a personal level I am nonviolent but "marching around in a Nazi armband screaming at people" is well known as fastest way to get wrekt

As it turns out, Seattle police say no investigation is underway because no crime was reported. According to the department’s Twitter account, reports were received Sunday that a man wearing a Nazi armband was harassing people. When police arrived at the area, the man was found lying on the ground.
