Yup. That shouldn't be tolerated either.

If a man walks up to you and says that he's going to kill you and your family, many states allow you to shoot him on the spot if you believe that he might carry out that threat. Why should people who band together to threaten others be treated any differently?

I think it's a matter of immediate threat to life or limb. If the group out there says something like: "There's one; somebody lynch him," that would not be protected speech and could even be grounds for shooting in self-defense if a reasonable person believed he was in immediate danger of death or serious bodily harm.

A bunch of Nazis having a march or rally is not sufficient grounds for them to be shot, even though they may favor homicidal or genocidal policies, as do, unfortunately, a lot of other groups.

Sorry but your hypothetical doesn't wash here. If anyone threatened me I would have to report that info to the proper authorities.. unless they actually tried to do the deed then of course I would defend myself. But the nazi wackos didn't threaten or kill anyone.. and they didn't physically harm anyone or anyones property. But the thugs did.

"Why should people who band together to threaten others be treated any differently?"

Couldn't that be said of the thugs today?

There are a lot of screwball groups in this country with crazy ideologies. And groups like the neo-nazis are worthless idiots that spout hate but so do a lot of other groups in this country but IMO we can't go around shooting them all or disbanding them because of what they 'think' or even say.

It's up to Blacks to ignore them, and not take out their rage on the rest of society. Where would we be if we all acted out our anger towards those we might bitterly disagree with?

For too many years bad behavior has been given a free pass, minimized and excused because it suited the agenda of socialists and liberals. They do this by pointing the finger at the brickmaker and not the person beating someone senseless with the brick.
