elaborate?

Hmm. Funny how the people who despise fascists act a lot like fascists.

That's more a cultural difference. In most countries outside of the US, freedom of speech doesn't protect hate speech. Rather, hate speech is considered a criminal or at least a civil offense. Hence why for non-Americans seeing a guy like him instigating and/or provoking violence and verbally harassing other people not getting punished for those deeds is a bit mind boggling.

That's not saying that antifa was right to clobber him, far from it. They should get jailed for the violence they did, and they will. It's just that in most countries, he would have been jailed or at least fined for his part and deeds along with the perpetrators of the physical violence.

Also, like others pointed out, he had information about upcoming or planned violence and didn't publish them or went with them to the police. That is a criminal offense, and not just outside of the US this time around.
