They always try to get as close to the border of what's legal and sound as much as the "originals" as possible without violating laws. Sometimes however they do cross the line and that's when they can be prosecuted. For example for inciting hatred against minorities, glorifying / denying the holocaust (they should really finally make up their minds about that...  ), direct praise for nazi leaders etc. |
Ok, I think I follow. Same thing as here in the states with groups like the KKK - we KNOW you're a bunch of basic thugs, but you've yet to actually cross the line to thuggery, so we have to let you be. And when a member of your group DOES cross, we'll treat that member as the lawbreaker, rather than the group as a whole.
