    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. :/

      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.

        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!
