We had neo-nazis here in the US in Florida on the main stretch of highway (I4) hanging nazi banners and when I suggested using the laws that are in place to prevent these things, all I got was "oh but you wouldn't want to violate freeze peach!"
The best we got was getting them fined for not getting prior approval. :/
Fucking frozen peaches. ๐ง๐
Thanks for trying, at least.
It's pretty concerning times when we have notably prominent neo-nazis in Australia though. I'm honestly surprised NSW proactively stopped him.
Displaying Nazi symbols is banned in NSW
My freedom of speech would be impacted exactly 0% because I have no desire to see or display Nazi symbols outside of historical context.
My argument was that Florida Statues 876.12 and 876.19/20 were being violated, wearing masks and hoods, and also exhibits that intimidate.
876.01 even specifies "criminal Nazi-ism"...
Cops didn't want to arrest the Nazis. On an interstate highway...
But they'll arrest protestors if they aren't Nazis!
