Well, don’t join the mob blindly. Do your own research. The above information was gathered from one internet search using the available context clues from this post.
It did not take very long and was easy.

The sources for this video indicate the person wearing the armband:

  • Harassed a black man on a bus.
  • Walked around downtown Seattle for an hour dressed that way.
  • Had several verbal confrontations with passerby who commented on his clothing.
    Source 1

  • Several 911 calls were placed about this man attempting to instigate fights.
  • The man declined to file a police report after the police did appear.
    Source 2

For at least an hour at any point leading up to this, the person wearing the armband could have taken it off and stopped interacting with others. To my knowledge, the person who was punched has never spoken to media to explain why they were dressed as such, despite the massive internet fame of the video.

Do you still feel uncomfortable? Do you know in your bones if the person deserved it?

My presumption is he’s throwing a fit because Greenland signed a mineral rights deal with the EU.

I don’t mean to put you down, but instead of spending your whole winter working on this, you could have just bought something with the same build quality and appeal from a master craftsperson for thousands of dollars.
