No one deserves to be hurt. Unfortunately, some people do ask for it.
This guy was absolutely asking for it.
- He did deserve it. If you advocate for pointless violence you deserve it back at you.
  
  No, he deserves to be rehabilitated in a facility that can reeducate him from his backwards beliefs.
  Unfortunately we are limited by our material conditions, so instead he gets hit with a baseball bat.
  
  "Look, I have neither the time nor the resources to teach you a lesson, so I'm just gonna have to beat the lesson into you with this bat."
  
  a little operant conditioning when we're short on time and long on baseball bats
  
  Re-education camps are bad things even if you agree with what they're "educating"
  You can't apply dogma to someone by forcing it onto them. People have to come to realizations on their own. You can help them to that realization by doing a number of things that are ostensibly agnostic (offering critical thinking courses at the local library, encouraging people to learn how civics actually works, etc..)
  But you can't just throw them in a "facility" and say "this is what we want you to believe and you're going to sit there until you do."
  You try your best to encourage them to your side. But if they don't want to come, the best you can do is to mitigate the destruction their willful ignorance can do.
  
  If he can't come to a realization on his own, then he stays in the camp forever. I see no problem with this.
  
  On which grounds would you force someone like this into reduction... it's easier to show them the direct consequences of their actions... everything else is futile with those amoebas.
  
  Being put in a camp is a direct consequence of his actions.
  Or getting hit with a baseball bat. Either/Or
  
  I'm German, so indoctrinated to hate anything concentrating a certain kind of humans. It's too easy to abuse.
- This guy was absolutely asking for it.
  Literally yes. It seems people are unfamiliar with this type of grift, which was made popular by the Westboro Baptist Church. Show up somewhere and say the most inflammatory (but not directly threatening) things possible until somebody gets fed up and assaults you, then sue that person for damages.
  
  You know, there's a secret trick to not getting sued for assaulting them...
  
  Get into police?
  
  This has to be the answer, right?
  
  Sneak into thier house and poison all of thier food?
  
  Better Call Luigi?
  
  Occult ceremonies?
  
  Electric bicycle?
  
  Use a car?
- I disagree. There are definitely people who deserve to be hurt.
  
  Once your personal beliefs start invading others personal space, we start with a firm no thank you but sometimes some folks won’t stop until you escalate to the top. Never wanted but sometimes necessary.
  
  Have you ever seen those situations where you just walk in and know your going to have to start right at the top and work your way down though....
- I'd argue quite a number of people deserve to be hurt, and this prick is definitely one of them.
