"How progressive and liberal of him": a comment I see spammed everywhere on YouTube and a few times in here.
Nobody even knows who this guy with the pickaxe is, even police searching for him don't know his identity, so how do you know his ideological leanings? He didn't make any political statements or say anything in favor of any left wing candidates, so for all we know he could be a right wing person; fascism for example is defined by a rejection of the idea that highly aggressive and violent action against opponents is automatically bad.
