    Ostracized would be good enough. Their lives could be made quite a bit more miserable than the people they wanted to insult.

    Absolutely. The right to free speech includes the responsibility for dealing with the repercussions thereof.

    As long as it's not illegal, go for it.

    That said, I can see some asshole doxxing or SWATing these clowns.

    That's pretty much inevitable if you stick photos of them up all over town. Personally speaking, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.

    Just how dumb do you have to be to think that Hitler had the right idea at this point in history? I'm not sure that level of idiocy is actually measurable.

    I was only joking

      No one, afaik, is saying that. Well, maybe someone is - but not me.

      The point, which I appear to be failing to make, is that this attorney has no concept of what the First Amendment states.

      Or for that matter what SCOTUS declared in the Skokie case.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Naziism is wrong, IMO. I don't know what percentage of Americans are Nazis, but I doubt it's very high. Maybe 25% at most. Basically the right-most half of the Republican party.

        But IMO 25% Nazis, is too many Nazis. I'm sorry if that offends anybody.

        Education is extremely important.

          Nonetheless, one has the right to believe and express those positions, abhorrent as they may be. It’s the price we pay for a free society.

            I understood your point, George. I’m just left a little mystified by people actually doing this. I guess they could conceivably be trolling, it's just a bizarre thing to do. The Twitterati seem to think it's staged, but if you were going to stage it, surely you'd make them look less sad and lonely.

              It's their right.

              OTOH, if the members of that synagogue decide to kick their ass, I'm sure the town has ordinances against excessive noise, creating a disturbance, etc. Fines should be stiff- at least $50 - and maybe a day of community service some Sunday...

                  Surely there are better ways to make them look even more stupid. Remember that guy playing the tuba?

                      Police MUST arrest these bigots and let them appeal their case to a higher court.

                      There are a lot of people in this country who feel exactly this way about Mr. Trump.

                      The speech has to be protected.

                      The relative virtue of the speech is open to criticism.
