(9,527 posts)Okay he's wearing a shirt. But that isn't exactly proof positive. I'm a big white guy with a shaved head. Doesn't make me a skinhead. The jumping to conclusions from little to no evidence is a really bad idea.
But even if he was a member of that group, how does a bar fight teach him anything?

Heck, they'd make it into a contest who could sell their most children if it would "own the libs" more than the other guy.
