So what? Inasmuch as a portion of them were White Supremacists and KKK members, those people were "political garbage", just as much as the violent antifa fascist thugs are.
Political garbage is political garbage whether it has a permit or not.
We don't need any hate in this country—from the left or right.
The vast majority of the American people have no interest in or relation too any hate groups.
The previous poster was correct in noting that the number of KKK/neo Nazis/White supremacists in this country is a few hundred at most.
But there are thousands of violent antifa fascist thugs.
Somebody should start an "fight club" type "entertainment" venture that lets real haters "meet" with each other and "work out their differences"...
Please tell me that you are not an American.
“So what?” you ask. Liberty depends on freedom of speech, for all. Those Antifa and BLM slime would silence you—Hell, they’d cut your throat—without an instant’s regret.
Your invocation of the leftist boogyman “hate” to destroy one of our cardinal liberties is wrong-headed in the extreme.
He who hates the left, acts rightly. He who hates what some call “the right,” acts wrongly. It is wrong to hate the good and love evil; it is right to hate evil and love the good.
You deplore racism. Okay. There are worse things. Far worse. Be that as it may, if racism is not safe, you are not safe.
The Supreme Court ruled, correctly, that even people who some call “political garbage” enjoy the same constitutional rights that you do. No one gets to deny anyone his constitutional rights because they disagree with his position. Period.
You can’t create an exception just by labeling someone a “hater.” These fictions—hate speech, hate groups, haters—are just tools that the left is using to destroy us.
In this case, some people were exercising their constitutional rights to assembly and free speech. Others presented themselves with the specific intent and purpose of denying those people their civil rights.
So, what did the Nazis et al. do here? They are guilty of holding and speaking unpopular opinions.
What did the left do here? Civil rights violations and criminal assault. Crimes. And what was their justification? Oh, those people are haters.
We don’t need any hate? If you don’t hate evil, you are defective.
