Flannel Man got treated like the hero he is on Twitter, with several pointing to how he gave them hope for America.

"This is the way," one Twitter user responded.

"A robust, colorful, New York style defence of free speech I can get behind: Say whatever you want to say in your corner, just don't tell me what I can or can't say in my corner," another observed.

"Whats so moving about this clip to me is that it seems like a resurrection of a sort of the old liberal coalition: an inner borough tough, a black man, and another worker defending Jewish Americans," wrote another.

"Some days people don't suck," someone who goes by the handle SweetChefLife1 noted. "And good on my dude for totally explaining the #1stAmendment in the most NYC way possible!"

I agree, and this is exactly what we need to see more of in America. Not physical fights but just no-nonsense people being willing to call out the evil standing before us for exactly what it is. Because if not now, when?
