You know that no court would even bother to hear a case had a white man had posted an endless string of vile jokes against African American men, openly talking about hating seeing black men on the street, joking about raping women while they slept, and calling black women devils.
They went through a lot to keep Bellamy on as vice mayor despite the fact that Kessler appears to have had enough votes to get that goon thrown out. The courts had to make special considerations because the language of the law wasn't quite where it needed to be on either side.
Any court that looked at a case where white man who openly joked about hating seeing black me walking down the street raping women while they slept would have just been like "nah, we can't have this guy representing our city, because we can't be sure he won't start shooting black people on the street or raping 15 year olds on their way home from school."
I think that Bellamy's open hatred of white men who aren't even nazis, and then his trying to shut down the white rally shows a heavy bias and an obvious conflict of interest. He is not fit to serve all and thus not suited to hold that position.
He's only in there because black privilege and because the city has an apparent Jewish supremacist as mayor and they both seem to hate white men with conservative views.
Bloody hell.
Anyway, the guy had to step down from two jobs but his subsequent job as vice-mayor wasn't lost because of some...law, that he didn't write. I'm sure if the same circumstances happened to the white woman who made the ape comment, the result would be the same, since it was about some technicality in the law.

And yet again...and this point cannot be understated...
The American Constitution guarantees free speech.
I suggest these blind-assed people like Don Lemon and skinster...READ their constitution and either WEAR it,
or simply burn the rag...

America, you have a constitutional right to free speech.
If you are incapable of wearing it, then burn the rag.

Free Speech is a bitch.
But if Americans wanna run about the globe telling everyone how marvie their constitution is, THEN FUCKIN' WEAR IT when things go side-ways.
Otherwise...their all just a bunch of Twinkie, hypocritical, Thought Police.
You keep going on about the constitution, it doesn't guarantee free speech, if it did, all the nazis who lost their jobs would still have them and tons of people wouldn't have lost their jobs for things they've said or wrote. Regardless of that, the free speech schtick relating to the Unite the Reich rally served the fascists and antifas, as well as the other antifas, the residents of the city who for weeks were fighting against the nazi rally. What about their free speech?
Also, again, counter-protests are a thing.

The entire premise of Black Lives Matter is that there isn't equality.
The cop stand-off was to cause a riot. I've never seen cops back off at numerous protests I've attended, often they're heavy handed, but obviously not at a white power rally, because
cops and klan go hand in hand, as the kids say, because it's true. Numerous reports from people who were there -
including the nazis - talked of cops not being around to help.
As for BLM, yes, it's about equality and more, so that POC stop getting killed by US authorities every 28 hours, so that neoslavery in the prison industrial complex is fought against, so that the
housing system ceases collective punishment on poor black (and white) families. BLM is a thing that happened because of existing conditions, the movement didn't fall out of the sky.
And no, Igor, BLM isn't racist, this is just you obviously projecting.

I support this position. We can't be tolerant of nazis and that's not the same as nazis being intolerant of everyone else.

So now we are presented with the seeming false narrative that Heather whatever just happened to be crossing the street while leaving the protest when a car ran into her, despite the fact that she was obviously part of the crowd of people were standing in an intersection.
The blowtorch wasn't homemade, it was thrown at him by the
nazis. As for the picture that you showed the cut version to,
here you'll see - and read - the pic and story of how he was protecting an old white guy who was part of the antifa.
Heather wasn't walking home when she was killed by the nazi, she was demonstrating in the streets of Charlottesville, with others, including many residents and church-members of the city, against nazis. And a nazi is responsible for her death, nobody else (although it could be argued cops are responsible too).
Free Palestine.
