In this context, while I don't agree, I will grant that the sucker punch in question is cowardly. So what? I don't think that is the most important consideration among many aspects of the event. Maybe it would be "cowardly" to sniper shoot Hitler on the same principle (which is what exactly anyway? that anything less than a straight up face-to-face brawl is cowardly?) but in that case other considerations would dwarf the level of courage required (as is the case here).
Maybe it's rude to wear a mask in public so the puncher is also rude. So what? He punched a nazi. He's a hero for a day, and I don't care if it was illegal or not risky enough for some or whatever.
And really, anyone who goes out in public to promote mass human extermination should probably keep their guard up. It's not like puncher went up and knocked the ice cream man upside the head. We are talking about a neo nazi. When you are calling for mass murder you're pretty in the ring at that point. There is such a legal concept as fighting words, and I think "Remember when your ancestors were killed in a genocide over trumped up bull****? Well that was a good thing!" certainly qualifies as fighting words if anything does.
Really, these neo nazis goons should be treated just like terrorists. Someone like our deplorable here who got 1/100th of what he deserves should be treated no different than an Islamic radical in the U.S. preaching openly about killing infidels.
