Summary
A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.
Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.
Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.
The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.
No arrests were made.
Yea but not really though…
You can say “I hate Nazis” and that’s hate speech (as stupid as that might sound), but it doesn’t mean “I want to hurt/kill Nazis”, the intention behind the message isn’t stated therefore the message is lawful.
If you don’t want to punch Nazis you’re probably a bad person.
We’re having a discussion about the law, not morality, I used that as an example to reverse the situation and put the counter protesters in the other position, but it’s exactly the same as those Nazis saying they hate blacks or Jews or whoever, in the US they have the right to say that, they don’t have the right to say they want to hurt them.
