    I don’t know why this is difficult.

    Those pesky 1st and 4th amendments to the US Constitution. They apply to everyone, not just those you agree with.

      Hate speech isn’t a matter of opinion. You’re not special just because you have opinions.

      You can’t just scream at people to go back to Africa.

      1. You come off as incredibly racist and ignorant since those people are U.S citizens.

      2. You’re not exactly defended by the constitution if you wave your gun at people who are innocent.

      So pipe down.

      So where is the line? Because their exercise of their rights limits others as they are no longer safe to go outside. Your rights and freedoms end where mine begin… It should not be the right of the loudest, or right of the person most careless of others, should it? Is that what we want for society?

      Sure the Nazis get 1st and 4th but BLM gets a police riot. If we didn’t have those rights, they don’t have those rights. There’s no double standard here.

      They do not apply to enemies of the state like the Taliban, ISIS or Nazis.

        You want to deprive citizens of their constitutionally protected rights because you disagree with them, because you’ve defined them “enemies of the state”. You’re a nationalist fascist.

        Good luck with that.

          You go tell that to the entire generation that had to fight and die to free us of the Nazi plague. Nazis have no place in this country and are an enemy to everything we stand for. There is Zero reason we should allow them any space to speak or live with us.
