So, with this in mind, I think it's clear that there must exist some limit on free speech. And these limits should include hate speech. People are entitled to opinions, racist ones as well as accepting ones, but when these opinions become words, and specifically words which endanger someone's security, then they must be stopped. Having a neo-nazi conference, or a nazi protest where participants are yelling slurs wouldn't directly endanger a counterprotestor's security because it's safe to assume that there would be police in the area. But if it was at a bar and some dude was calling a Jew a kyke etc, and enticing people to attack him based on his Jewishness, then that should be limited
What you describe could be charged as harassment or even reckless endangerment.
Assholes just as easily try and goad people into fighting calling them fat or talking shit about their clothes,
baseball team, hair, girls or anything else.
Do we then add sports hating laws?
"Hate Speech" is just a non sequitur.
And any more laws sure as fuck aren't gonna make people stop being racist or doing what they're doing-just like with prohibition or anything else if you make something illegal it will just push it underground and create more black market and illegal activity, that is to say making everyone less safe.
Ever notice all the swastika graffiti randomly in European footage? Check out Torey Pudwell in the DVS video for instance, I noticed this after someone had told me that when they were in Europe one summer they noticed them EVERYWHERE. But hey, they have all those laws!?
Keep the assholes out in the open.
And again, it really is as simple as believing in free speech or not.
Grim's comparison to the supposed violence related to marilyon manson or rap music is accurate here.
In America we are to treat people and their actions for what they are, individual choices. This is the way it must be if we have any desire to be free. Anything else is childish quasi-fascism.
