        But it’s against the 1st amendment. Once we start doing this we might as well not have a Constitution. We can’t pick & choose what we like about the Constitution. That’s what religious ppl do. I say allow ppl to say these things so they can get their karma

        Too many ppl seek out their own justice rather than allowing things to work out naturally. Eastern cultures believe that you shouldn’t seek out your own justice because you’re using justice as a form of revenge. Instead, turn from that person & don’t deal with them.

        I may not like or agree with this lady. But, the 1st Amendment protects our rights of free speech. Denying this right is yet another step towards a communist conversion that the far left is promoting.

        No first amendment in South Africa. Not that I'm for racist rants but shouldn't be jail.

        They’re misunderstanding about „free speech“ 🙄 free speech doesn’t mean you can insult people or say something racist to somebody else. 🤔

        yes, you can.. as long as you don't hurt anyone or cause them physical hurt with what you say and do, a normal democratic country should allow it. since when is insulting illegal? what are you, 4?

        ABC. Where are your stories of what is happening to the White population (Many are being killed) by the Blacks in South Africa.

        The problem started the moment you white fellows invaded Africa. How many blacks have you white killed? In Africa , that hate is going like a circle. Nothing is going to stop until forget and forgive. I had been in SA for 2 years and seen and faced many incidents.

        Understand I don’t condone it. Every continent has had invaders killing the ingenious people. Here in America European killing North American Indians. Race killing other races. Race killing within their race. Africa is still Tribalistic. In America they’re called gangs.

        Why are you all applying US laws to Africa? They don’t have the 1st OR the 2nd amendment. The US Constitution doesn’t mean anything in Africa. No wonder you all get locked up abroad for doing ignorant stuff.
