not that i condone the beating. he should have just ejected him from the show.

but flipping off the band for two songs. "i paid for your music not your politics." then...how about you leave?

Because he paid for their music.

Why is it so hard to understand that some people just want to listen to music and not get into politics? Even if it's a punk rock scene...it's really stupid that some damn fine music has to be coupled with something that's going to alienate half of your potential fanbase.

Punk has been political since its inception. It's part of the reason for its existence. To expect a social distortion show not to be at least somewhat political is to showcase a total ignorance about the music and band you're going to see.

If the dude was such a big fan how in the fuck he didn't expect anything political is beyond me.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees. The fan probably knew that they were political, which is why he was doing his little silent protest at that point. He still can be a fan of the other things they do. I can be a fan of Robert De Niro's acting but then boo him when he starts mouthing off about Trump. Doesn't give him a right to jump out and start beating on me.
