I came out against punching Nazis ages ago. Hitting someone with an egg counts as assault, too. But, yeah, Fraser Anning just did a Prescott. He got egged, took a moment to size up his attacker (a teen), THEN let fly. That's not self-defence; it's revenge.

That pile-on and choke-hold by his supporters came across as a bit punitive too, it must be said. I expect later we will hear that Fraser was genuinely in fear of his life because of all the extremists about lately. They do like their projection. #FraserAnning #eggboy #eggteen
Note the teenager in the black t-shirt and blue shorts who kicks '#eggboy' while he is being held down by three men (before kneeling down for a close-up of his face while he is being held to the ground in a choke-hold). That is assault, too.
This same footage also clearly shows that Fraser Anning has to be *psychically restrained* to prevent him from assaulting '#eggboy' further.
This video shows that the close-up linked above definitely came from the phone of the young lad who kicked '#eggboy' while he was down, and includes clearer footage of the kick:
Longer video. The lad who assaulted '#eggboy' compares footage with an associate while the choke-hold continues for close to 4 minutes. Oxygen deprivation can and does lead to brain damage in such circumstances, but the young man threw at egg, so whatevs!
"We're all Australians here. We're all diggers."
Speak for yourself, mate. I see you, and I don't see the Australian spirit, but the red mist of someone looking to take their anger out on somebody.
Wrap yourself in somebody else's flag.

We finally have a name on #eggboy, Will Connolly, and I am going to give him the last word on this thread, seeing as he has gone to the trouble of making this short but helpful statement.
Will has been released by police without charge, by the way.

The video posted above was genuine, but according to reports it was ripped from snapchat and posted to this account by an imposter. The account has since been suspended by Twitter. I expect we will hear from the real Mr Connolly again soon at any rate. Media are lining up by now.
