they ALL are. i'm so tired.

I did some thinking. Any time anyone writes about the KKK, they should open w/ some context. Ex? Take Wikipedia's intro cc:

This way, when ppl quoted talk about "their heritage," readers can understand what the quoted person is taking pride inpic.twitter.com/GnCdgcAybI

Also helps us understand why those protesting the KKK "hurled insults and apple cores"pic.twitter.com/BxsC5J89rc

Every KKK member should be stripped of their jobs and pensions and and blacklisted. They are subhuman people and should be treated as such.
-
thats how totalitarian facist regimes act. I thought this was US. Or do we only protect liberty for ppl we like?
-
They are a hate group. A documented hate group with pictures of their crimes. I don't see the issue. I didn't say they should be lynched.
-
they r constitutionally protected as is their speech unless they break the law. That protection protects u/me too
-
They can speak all they want. Talk is cheap. But their actions can be deadly. That's the issue.
-
And their actions can be illegal. If they engage or attempt illegal action then there is a law that steps in/provides protections.

The KKK was parked in the police department's parking lot so they were safe. That alone would be lame if it were a joke however, it is true.

I almost had hope they arrested the KKK members for a minute, but then I remembered it's America and they can carry guns with them openly.

I don't believe in using tear gas on people, but are white supremacists really people?

Freedom of speech is one thing. Hate speech is another.
