Maybe it's me but this doesn't sound anything like the Weimar Republic 
in 1930:



According to the person we spoke to who chose to remain anonymous, the 
altercation began when our subject, who we will refer to as “Frank,” was 
approached outside of Pappy’s BBQ on Telegraph. After being approached 
by a first individual, another, larger man came forward, and Frank 
commented on his “Celtic Cross” tattoo, a favorite among white 
supremacists. The man then pulled up his sleeve to reveal more tattoos, 
including an iron cross. A verbal argument began, with the larger man 
stating to his friend, “Don’t talk to this mother fucker, he’s antifa.” 
He then replied to Frank, a person of color, that his mother was a 
“nigger lover.” The man then got in Frank’s face, spitting on him, and 
placing his forehead against T’s.


The man then tried to kick Frank, and then proceeded to pick up his 
skateboard and threw it, screaming, “You faggot!” Frank then attempted 
to defend himself and run, however he says that “out of nowhere” he was 
tackled to the ground by Kyle Chapman. For the next 15-20 seconds, he 
claims that Chapman, who was wearing a large ring, beat and punched him 
in the face, shoulders, and body. Photos sent to IGD show cuts and 
bruises which corroborate these claims. After 15-20 seconds, Chapman 
friends told him that that was enough, and to stop the fight. Once 
Chapman had stopped the beating, Frank got on his feet and quickly left 
the scene.
