The first amendment clearly states that unpopular opinions about genocide will be granted exclusive use of a publicly funded train station and a battalion of riot police to protect it.

I don’t mind them being given a voice, as much as I hate what they stand for.. but, this kind of protection and access?
-
Idk man, free speech for free speech sake with no concern for the content of that speech? Sounds like a slippery slope. What's next? Pedophiles get a voice? Protests to legalize animal abuse? ISIS gets a permit to march? You don't mind them being given a voice?

You have a point.

Because our law enforcement protects Nazis to gather together and recruit and mobilize and grow their movement! Our state is
#fascist! -
You'd rather have a riot?

I’d rather not have police protecting white supremecists and do not believe for one second that this level of protection would be given to any other organized group.

Wait! What? Is this on order per trump?

Don't worry, cops are perfectly capable of aiding Nazis even without the dude in power having their back...

Happened in
#Charlottesville too. Fash got military transport to "rally". -
Just remember, if it's in support of the government, it's a rally. If it's in opposition, it's a protest. So yeah, I'd say it's a fascist rally.
