What if their sign said: All Lives Matter?

"Neo Nazis. What a bunch of nutjobs." If you think that police state thugs are really just after the "fringe" then you are delusional.

How many people have they killed? How many people have they injured? How many buildings have they burned?
“Black Lives Matter” is a racist statement.

“What the First Amendment doesn't protect is the ability to engage in unlawful acts,” That's a really stupid statement.

The Constitution requires that laws regulating speech be "content neutral." You cannot apply different standards depending on the content of the banner (i.e., race motivated).
This also applies to prosecution. "Prosecutorial discretion" can not be so broad as to consistently apply different standards to favored content. If the Left routinely trespasses with their leaflets, flyers and banners (including race-motivated BLM banners), and are never prosecuted, but the Right is, that too violates the First Amendment.
But it would take expensive First Amendment lawyers to vigorously pursue such an avenue of defense. They'd have to engage in much discovery to show a pattern of discriminatory prosecution of banners, flyers, etc.
To: BenLurkin
They should be treated the same as if the Left had hung a BLM banner. All illegal trespassers should be treated the same.
But the state applies different standards to different content, prosecuting some, ignoring others. That's a dangerous road to travel, and as the Summer of Floyd shows, we're well along that road.

Why would anyone want to defend these guys?

At the end of the day who are people like this I say a combination of crazy people heavily peppered by federal informants and undercover agents feeding the insanity of the crazies.

I wonder if Mr. Hood has a reasonable defamation case against Mr. Martin.

“The charges against Hood and fellow neo-Nazis raises questions about First Amendment protections.”
Also raises questions about equal protection. When nationwide, violent, destructive protests target people who even dare to say that all lives matter and the crimes committed by these protestors are largely ignored by law enforcement and lawmakers, how can they grandstand in attempts to hold people accountable for “hate speech”?

No one should be prosecuted for his thoughts or opinions.
Start with the "yeah, buts" and you are off to the fascist races.
Who cares what they wrote on that sign? The Dude has got it right:

You can burn dozens of major cities, all while promoting white people bad and evil, but if you put up a sign supporting the white race, you’re in big trouble.
