46. To be fair

May 2017

This looks like two young people having a lively disagreement. I see no physical threat taking place here. for sure, the skinhead kid is a little scary with his wraparounds and shaved head but the body language of both kids suggests this is not necessarily a hostile confrontation but the kind of animated exchange you would see between any two young people with differing political ideas.

I resist demonizing individuals of the far right (or any stripe) because I've seen how easy it is for young people to be led into a belief system that makes no sense.
