53. The fact still remains that the Nazis
in America, aka Neo-Nazis have every right to believe their race is superior. So there goes the "beliefs" argument, out the window. They can believe what they want and even have little get togethers on courthouse steps to spew anti-Semitic slurs if they want to. That's protected by law too. Hate Crimes laws kick in when they start acting on those wishes to create a master race and start killing people who are not like them and other such nonsense. If strong laws against that sort of violence based on hate were not on the books, we would have a full fledged outbreak of violence here in America with the hate groups all stoked up like they are. What's the harm in protecting people with targets on their backs? What skin is it off anyone else's nose if they are already protected? I still don't get the aversion to equal protection under the law for all.
