As the old saying goes, not all heroes wear capes.

In fact, sometimes they wear flannel shirts.

Such was the case during a recent incident in New York City, which like many Democrat-run cities in this country has seen the antisemitic nature of woke radical leftists get exposed like never before in the aftermath of the Hamas-instigated war against Israel, with chants of "glory to the murders," "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," and "Allahu Akbar!" filling the putrid air around the so-called peaceful protesters.

Something else disturbing that we've seen happen with increasing frequency are the despicable incidents where pro-Hamas thugs in these same cities start tearing down Hamas hostage posters, which are put up around cities in hopes that someone, somewhere can provide information to worried and anxious family members, friends, and other like-minded allies.

Thankfully, many of these jerks are being named and shamed, with some either being suspended from or losing their jobs. In other instances, we're seeing confrontations play out directly on the streets as the poster-snatching is in progress.

One shining example comes courtesy of the below clip, where a flannel-shirted man and someone who appears to be a friend confront a man who has allegedly ripped a poster off a street pole.  

What followed was an absolutely epic and aggressive lecture on the First Amendment, with "Flannel Man" letting the anti-Israel poster thief know in no uncertain terms that though he had every right to fly a Palestinian flag and shout disgusting calls for Israel's destruction, others also had the right to put up those posters and not have them taken down.

At one point, Flannel Man is pulled away right as he tells the guy he'd love to put him in the hospital.

There are good people out there. Let's hear it for the non-Jewish gentleman in the brown plaid shirt who confronts the pro-murder, pro-kidnap bigot ripping down posters of kidnapped Israelis. pic.twitter.com/djQH78DZ8w

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?
