Back to basics. Reading the article now.

Sidenote: A region of the Western U.S. won a battle against Neo-Nazism/White Supremacy close to a decade ago (and even a decade earlier). Quite a victory for that particular state, IMHO. I'll try to get some credible sources cited here if'n you are interested.

EDIT - ADDITION:
"Police urged the neo-Nazis to cancel the march, saying they could not guarantee the safety of participants along the route. The procession was eventually called off late in the afternoon."

Where the heck was that kind of response out West? (close to the Pacific Northwest)

Worked a bit differently here in the US, during the late nineties/early 2000's. What I saw out west, is that normally those kinds of marches are allowed to proceed as planned without police intervention. The police will respond to violence. Neither side took up arms against one another. A good thing.

We stay on this side of the barricades, they march and vent on the other side. Both are free to exchange birdie fingers and so on - no biggie. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Protest. Those are some of the rules, we go along with that. We don't want our rights to be amended over a hate speech, right? You bet.

The Constitution cannot assuage what I feel in that kind of situation, it can only help to rein the emotions in. I do hope for a future here in the US where the police actually warn the haters of potential unmitigated physical harm, though. That might just be a good thing.

For the Schoolroom:

What is hatred? Please define it, and further refine your views.



Extra Credit:

Is hatred an enviable trait? If "Yes", please explain why? If "No", please explain further.















BTW, I don't know if I have a right to say "Right on, Dresden!!", but to heck with it... Right on, Dresden!!
