Also, what I don't understand, these groups keep yelling they have the right to "freedom of speech." However, the victims of this also are protected under the 1st and 14th amendment. Therefore, if the victims start filing lawsuits against them for violation of the 1st and 14th amendment, these people would use the "freedom of speech," wisely. There is no reason to use "freedom of speech," to intimidate...ethnic minorities - I think victims/perceived victims need to start using the laws and constitution to fight back against this type of behavior. BTW, I saw information about this on the "we can stop the hate" or "stop the hate," website. It went into graphic details about these guys behavior - either way, it is unacceptable. Expatriot,
