I bet these grown ass men felt really "heroic" for defending a Neo-Nazi against a deadly egg attack. Like why is the one dude holding his head?! Meanwhile our true hero is looking calm and collected. #eggboy pic.twitter.com/k8hAefwUxK

There were, however, some notable exceptions, including former Superman star, Dean Cain, and former Westlife star, Brian McFadden.
In response to journalist, Deborah Knight, condemning Anning’s response, Dean Cain made this comment.
I would have knocked that kid cold.

Brian McFadden chipped in with his own confused and confusing takes.
Yes bro! His act was violence. Egg or not. Deserved a slap

I don’t care what the little prick was standing for. Or what the senator says or believes in. The fact is violence is not the answer!!!

“Violence is not the answer”
Also
“He deserved a slap”
Both your quotes. Which one is it?

Dean Cain is the Scott Baio of former Supermen. Block/mute him and move on.

Brian McFadden, Dean Cain & Kelsey Grammer all join the "Washed up stars from the 90s who've turned out to be cunts" club.

Dean Cain thinks it’s not okay to crack an egg on a Nazi’s head over politics, but it’s definitely okay to knock out a teenager over an egg.
It’s always weird when you assume you’d be the Nazi in a given scenario. pic.twitter.com/rgdAPfNs3t
