Wtf? even the mayor who is black says the riot was started by gangstas. nobody is sticking up for the ****ing ***** ! although we happen to be sane enough to figure out by deductive reasoning that the illegal actions that went on were not perpetuated by white supremecists.

 

That's inductive reasoning.....at best.

In fact, since you weren't there, and don't have all the facts, it's not really reasoning at all.

Nothing was perpetuated, in fact.

Oaf: Your post only contains one picture. Who are you asking me to compare and contrast Hitler with?

Also, I know the bill of rights. I don't have to read it.

And the actions of the counter-protesters were not peaceful, and no...I do not support their violent actions.

I do, however, think the ****'s presence in the black community was incindiary, and as such, being as they did not have a permit to assemble, should have been arrested for inciting violence (Oh statute 2917.01)

 

The **** group should have needed a permit, because it was an organized event on public land. If they didn't apply for one, it was because they knew white supremecy groups are almost never given permits because the filth they spew is inflamatory and, in its very nature, violates the constitutional rights of those they hate.

While the **** gorup may have been peaceful, their message was not. When the Black Panthers gathered peacfully, they were broken up because they appeared and sounded militant. Same with these morons; if you are spreading a message of hate, you are not afforded the right to spread that message. They talked about keeping black people away from them, they complained about the imagined deficiencies of a whole race, and did so in an area where they KNEW they would illicit a response...that's not free speech or peacifully gathering, that's posturing for a **** fight.

If you threaten someone in a bar, and never swing, you can be arrested for assault. These ***** were threatening blacks in a black neighborhood in a very insidious and fundamental way, and in my mind they gave up their rights to free speech and public gathering when they express the idea that they don't believe african americans should have those very same rights.


Where do you draw the line between inciting a riot and gathering peacfully? Rock stars have been accused of inciting riots just by showing up someplace too small to handle their fans and telling them to mosh, etc... These guys are at least as guilty as that.
