I don’t think you’re right about that.
Let me be clear, I think violence is wrong except in self defense (which was not the case in that video).
But
I think society would likely punish the racist asshole more harshly than the violent assholes.
The racist guy could lose his job, his friends, his reputation, everything. Whereas the violent guys could get probation or a possible short stay in jail.
Unlikely as typically racists are friends with racists, work with racists and no reputation would be on the line.
Also, jail is considered worse than freedom, I think...
