Aussie Conservative Ambushed by Antifa, Fights Back HARD

So, this happened.  A conservative commentator in Australia, Andrew Bolt, was attacked by Antifa assailants as he was walking down the street in Melbourne.  Even though Bolt was taken by surprise, he was not going to be pushed around.  The thugs pushed him into an outdoor cafe’s tables and chairs, but he regained his composure and fought back hard. He punched them in the face and groin, before they ran away like rodents.  Watch this:

The Australian has more details:

“I’m not a brawler,” he said. “I had one bruised knuckle and I don’t care a stuff about it. I had a suit ruined and I want every cent of that paid back. And I want a hefty donation to a charity of my choice.”

Melbourne Antifa, a loose collection of left-wing activists united behind “anti-fascist action”, appeared to claim a role in the incident, posting on Facebook that “some of our family in solidarity were attacked by Andrew Bolt while they were protesting today”.

The group argued Bolt should be imprisoned for his “violent, horrendous language”.

Bolt told Fairfax Media the attack was the latest in a long line of threats to the safety of himself, his family and other conservatives in his home city.

“I am sick of people trying to intimidate me, trying to threaten me,” he said. “I’m sick of the threats on my life and my reputation. I’m sick of being sued and bullied and I’m not going to take it. I’m just not going to take it.

“We should be free to have a debate and to walk down the street without fear of being attacked.

“The right to free speech has to be better protected — everywhere but particularly in Melbourne. It is ridiculous how dangerous it is for conservatives in this town to speak out.

“If you don’t like what I say just prove me wrong. Don’t threaten me, don’t threaten my house, don’t threaten my family, don’t abuse me — just argue with me.

“It must be a question of the principle and not the side.”

I love it that he fought back.  This is where we’re heading, folks.  Conservatives aren’t going to keep taking it on the chin.
