Summary

A group displaying swastika flags on an I-75 overpass in Evendale, Ohio, was confronted by local residents, leading to tensions and a heavy police presence.

Residents pushed past police, seized a flag, and forced the demonstrators to retreat into a U-Haul truck.

Officials, including Cincinnati’s mayor and Hamilton County’s sheriff, condemned the demonstration.

The Jewish Federation and NAACP also spoke out, questioning where the demonstrators came from. The NAACP suggested the current administration’s policies may have emboldened the group.

No arrests were made.

        It’s a different thing, I’m talking about hate speech specifically

        You can do hate speech as much as you want in the US, if you threaten someone with violence or incite people to be violent with others it’s something else and so is causing a panic by screaming “FIRE!” in a theater when there’s no fire.

        Three different things, one of them is legal and is what was done by the Nazis in that article.

          I understood what you were saying. I get the technicality. I was venting that the technicality is bullshit when there is already a precedent that kinda says the opposite.

            But the precedent doesn’t really apply here…
