    Can't tolerate intolerance, that's the one thing you can't.

    Keep in mind this isn't a credible threat:

    "I want to force your family to pick cotton at gunpoint, and I'll torture them if they refuse. Your children's children will belong to me."

    Now imagine if there was a chance I could actually succeed at this (credible threat) and was threatening people behind me all day. Same reason it's not aggression to punch a Nazi. Stop defending aggressive people.

    Freedom of speech is the right to express ideas and opinions without government censorship or retaliation. This guy is likely not a government employee serving in an official role, so it does not apply here.

    If you want to get mad about free speech, you should look towards the governments actions against peaceful protests for Palestinians. Or them not issuing visas to people due to what they've said on their social media.

    Fuck this guy and his confederate flag.
