        You've chosen a weird/bad hill to die on. I love free speech as much as anyone, but white power rallies are like yelling "fire" in a theater

        You managed to invoke two of the most overused, cliched tropes -- "hill to die on" and "fire in a crowded theater" -- in the same tweet.

        Maybe cool your heels for a bit before making common cause with nazis.

        "Making common cause with Nazis" is such a disingenuous and gross way to describe the pro-civil liberty position.

        The Bill of Rights enshrines as sacrosanct things that define who we are as a nation. We can't allow those with vile beliefs to change us.

        My apologies to you. I'm quite angry about recent events. The "C'ville provisions" brings this into stark relief.

        The article dilutes its substance w/a lot of opinion, but the essence is that even Nazis are protected by the 1st until they break the law.

        The case has been made elsewhere (i.e., Germany) that their politics are so vile that their entire culture has been remade to disavow them.

        What about protecting Nazi parades at the UN as we did in 2008, alone?

        I can understand inflicting our freedom of speech laws here in the US but brandishing them all over the world and not expecting blowback?

        I'm an empiricist, so I'd ask, "did this sign result in violence?" Most acts of negligence are only prosecuted as crimes if they cause harm

        Based on your previous comment, that sign seems to be an explicit call to violence.

        If such a sign caused violence, yes there should be charges brought against the sign's bearer

        Inciting a riot is enough to make someone guilty, and what about unpaid mafia hitmen or cult murders like the Manson family
