This is the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now, - having said that, how in hell does this protect Nazi filth from being spewed? What tenuous connection is this fetus looking Nazi looking for ?
The first amendment prohibits the government from limiting a personâs right to say something. It does not hold harmless the person who says something that causes another harm.
It does get exhausting point this out over and over again, but apparently folks are unclear on the concept. He had his free speech moment, now he is paying for the harm caused by that free speech moment. There is no protection for inciting a mob.
Always glad to see neo-Naziâs with MEGA caps on. Every time one of these supporters of â ĐŻâmp is quoted this ought to be the go to photos to show what the new âmaster raceâ is/looks like.
And btb, lots of folks on the right have really weird views on what the first amendment allowsâŚ
Silly judge, only Donnie can interpret / abolish the constitution.
Fake rulingâŚ
FREE SPEECH â FREE LUNCH
Dunno. Might just be too complex for them to get it.
Yes protection against Incitement to Violence is provided for Trump, who otherwise wouldâve been indicted many months ago if this nation had any Rule of Law, or an honest AG / federal judiciary. So obviously one can be protected from Incitement when prez.
Nazis, fire, free speech, crowded theater.
Itâs settled law:
These people are supposedly big on the importance of âhistory.â He should have taken a look at cases like Donald v. United Klans of America and Berhanu v. Metzger.
Which reminds me, time to make another donation to the SPLC.
Judge: 1st Amendment Doesnât Shield Neo-Nazi Publisher From Lawsuit
Yah, but Nazis just gotta Nazi, Judge.
Well put.
lots of folks on the right have really weird views on what the first amendment allowsâŚ
âŚGuns are people too.
Well when they look at Steve King and see that the Republican leadership has never until recently scolded King then I think I know where they get this âIâm entitled to say whatever I want about anybody, neiner, neiner, neiner.â
Why do these people all look like they are a chromosome arm short of a full genome?
Itâs weird how âthingsâ like corporations and inanimate objects like guns get to have full rights over acutally homosapiens.
His words endangered the life and property of people now and well into the future. In his mind people have no right to be left the hell alone. And now after being called to account for his act, there is a sudden concern for his rights. These Neo-Nazis are much worse than the Germans who were lured into Hitlerâs vision. Todayâs Nazis know how things worked our in the 1930s and want to do it again.
True. But I mean this weird citing of the 1st Amendment has been going on for decades on the right, completely missing the fact that it just protects you from the government punishing you for your speech, it doesnât enlist the government to protect you from others.
Thie article linked below has some background on Anglin and some of the ugly hate he unleashed on Gersh.
A taste of what they inflicted on Gersh:
Tanya Gersh answered her phone and heard gunshots. Startled, she hung up. Gersh, a real-estate agent who lives in Whitefish, Montana, assumed it was a prank call. But the phone rang again. More gunshots. Again, she hung up. Another call. This time, she heard a manâs voice: âThis is how we can keep the Holocaust alive,â he said. âWe can bury you without touching you.â
