Yeah, because we’re the fascists. Or something. Conservative ‘fascist’ bad. Proglib ‘fascist’ good. 🤔
>> the suspect in the “Heil Hitler” salute
This unwelcome freedom of expression is a now crime?
Do we need an enhanced version of the Patriot Act? /s
And why the **** are they ignorant? Could it be that they spent twelve years never being taught a ******* thing about what it REALLY meant to be a Nazi, and what it REALLY means to be an American, and whwen it comes to be an American, Hitler ain't it, Stalin ain't it, Mao ain't it, Che ain't it, Sanger ain't it, Greta ain't it?
If these were nazis or KKK they would be arrested on the spot. Nice double standard.
If the “Hitler” salute is illegal, is the black power salute? If not, will we have a ministry of salutes to determine which salutes are acceptable and which aren’t, like the ministry of silly walks?
Yet how many libs had 💩 fits over any references to a noose that turned out to be at best misunderstandings if not outright hoaxes? (Jussie Smolett aka the wolf who cried boy) the Noosecar incident, etc
It’s legal. But put him on Canary Mission and other sites so he can be blacklisted by potential employers.
My undergrad degree is a BA in History, and my education basically spanned the 1970s and 80s. From an early age, whenever I was able to take an elective, I took extra history classes. I always had teachers (Jr High Sch up through college) who wanted to talk about Marxism. Some of them did not like Marxism and wanted to teach about it as a dangerous thing that was un-American. Most of them liked Marxism a lot and wanted to teach about it because it would lead us all to a glorious future.
But the point is that I was taught about Marxism. Repeatedly. Good stuff, bad stuff. I was no stranger the politics of communism.
Fascism? Whole different thing. Never taught by anyone. No electives on that topic. It was bad, OK? They killed Jews, alright? Evil people. And that’s it. We’re done. You don’t need to understand what it looked like, the economics, the social movement, the view of history, the specifics of their crazy racial ideas. The only thing to know was: It was bad.
Consequently, almost no one knows Fascism even when it’s staring them in the face and saying, “No joke.”
This is another example of leftism ruining everything.
The Skokie case overruled? A nazi salute can get you arrested now. MAGA hats illegal next?
Arm gestures that are offensive are also illegal? Poor Constitution. Great while we had it.
wait...what? that can’t be! Trump is Hitler. the broads on the view confirm that nearly every day. SOMEBODY is wrong. the view crew will tell ya right off the bat it ain’t them that’s wrong.
HOWEVER, if some Jew slugged him, he would be in solitary confinement right now and shackled to the bars.
I thought Trump was the nazi. T
This probably falls under the “fighting words” exception to the First Amendment.
The Wisconsin statute:
947.01 Disorderly conduct.
(1) Whoever, in a public or private place, engages in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct under circumstances in which the conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
(2) Unless other facts and circumstances that indicate a criminal or malicious intent on the part of the person apply, a person is not in violation of, and may not be charged with a violation of, this section for loading a firearm, or for carrying or going armed with a firearm or a knife, without regard to whether the firearm is loaded or the firearm or the knife is concealed or openly carried.
History: 1977 c. 173; 1979 c. 131; 2011 a. 35; 2015 a. 149.
A vile human being I’m sure. But you can’t criminalize such an act or statement any more than you can criminalize the middle finger salute to the cops.
This probably falls under the “fighting words” exception to the First Amendment.
seems cops are not taught to distinguish speech from violent behavior
