Given the entire debate has been around "Is it OK to punch Nazis?", I think it's been a success. People have remixed the incident with music videos. People are cheering, and reposting it everywhere. The very tweet that you linked has this.

I'll read the academic studies later, but as many have pointed out people holding hands and singing Kumbaya doesn't have a good historical record of success.
