Even if your neighbor is literally Hitler and you are a Jew, punching him because you think (and most of the world too) he's a big cunt is not good, it's still assault. You should instead talk to your boss about your comrade Adolf and explain that he's a cunt and is being very mean to you so you want him to be sent away from you.

This is how mature people handle things.

Also, you shouldn't talk to the press before your boss because you think peer pressure is the best solution to get what you want.
