Thor Harris suspended from Twitter for posting a "How to Punch a Nazi" video

Thor Harris, of Swans and Shearwater fame (and his own group Thor & Friends), had his Twitter account suspended after he posted a posted a “how to punch a Nazi” video. “If you’re thinking about punching a Nazi, or any other member of the Republican party,” Thor starts, “Don’t do it. Peaceful protest is always better. But if you have to do it…” and he then suggests getting someone to film it — perhaps making reference to white nationalist Richard Spencer — and then says, “also hold your wrist straight, otherwise you could hurt your wrist,” and offering punching techniques. While Thor’s post is down, Xiu Xiu reposted it (and reported the news of Thor’s suspension). You can watch here:

UPDATE: as of 7:45 PM, Thor’s Twitter account seems to be back online. Welcome back to Twitter, Thor.

We too say peaceful protest is always best but if you do feel the urge to punch a Nazi, Wavves’ Nathan Williams and his brother Joel made a downloadable videogame to get out your aggression:
