Today is a good day to remember the time I told my Jewish grandmother, who had been an officer in the Red Army all through WWII, about the debate over punching Nazis.
"This is trick question," she said, narrowing her eyes. "When you are done punching, Nazi is still alive, yes?"
@evacide Yes, that's one boundary condition. Corpses attract unwelcome law-enforcement attention. The point is made here:
“Don’t worry,” Lansky reportedly said. “We’ll marinate em, we won’t ice em.”
Quite the quote.
And marinate them they did.
@joeinwynnewood @evacide IKR?
There was a similar group in Britain.

Also back then, the usual suspects were condemning the 'violence':
"... provoked an angry response from Louis Hydelman, who sat on the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Accusing the young commandos of acting ‘counterproductively’, Hydelman ordered the Group to disband."
As for me, colour me philosophical. As long as the Nazis live to tell the tale it's more like an 'enhanced debating technique'...
