Clearly, you have not heard about Idaho Nazis.
And Republicans still pretend like these aren't their allies.
Trumpers are all still so surprised we want nothing to do with them once we learn who they are
There is no reason we have to tolerate these pieces of human shit. Ban the Nazi Flags and arrest anyone who claims to be a Nazi. They are enemy's of America and should be sent strait to Guantanamo.
If we somehow passed a Nazi ban (pass it through this fascist government? lol), they would just use it to jail and torture left wing protesters.
There isnt much of America worth defending, but one great thing we do have is the First Amendment. Let's not throw it out just for some baby nazis.
The first Amendment does not allow you to endanger people by calling out fire in a crowded theater and it does not protect you being a Nazi threatening to murder people on the street.
It is funny you bring up "fire in a crowded theater", that is the perfect example to prove my point.
The "fire in a crowded theater" analogy was first used by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendal Holmes, but the "fire" was actually anti-WW1 pamphlets and the "theater" was actually a public street. So the leftist handing out anti-war pamphlets was jailed.
But you're right, the first amendment does not protect you from the ramifications of your speech. Someone yelling in a theater should be met with a disorderly conduct charge, and nazis in the streets should be met with organized antifascist violence. Death threats that pass a reasonableness standard are prosecuted as felony harassment. Death threats that do not pass this standard are protected under the first amendment.
But in my opinion, there is no crime that warrants being sent to Guantanamo. A lifetime of torture is a fate far worse than death, and there should be no room in a civilized world for such barbarism.
