Quote:If you condone vandalistic vigilantism as a proper response to Nazi iconography, where does it stop?Slippery slop fallacy .Not to mention Nazi symbols are already banned in other places
Quote:Does it give the extreme right a pass to vandalize portraits of Obama or Mandela (both of whom were accused - however laughably - or being 'a credible threat to the lives of other people')? Does it allow the snatching of MAGA hats and the destruction of 'Vote Trump' yard signs?The difference being Nazi are a empirically dangerous and unlike all the above
Quote:I'm not saying that this man's right to express his racist, Nazi rubbish shouldn't be limited - of course it should. I agree completely that it IS an explicit threat to the lives of other people. But how to address it is a matter for the courts and the police, not for Community Watch types who happen to have access to spray paint.The law has already shown itself impotent in the face of fascism and worst still Nazi's know this which is why they are getting bolder and bolder
