And they have the same right to free speech to oppose that message. It's the violence where things get dicey.
You got one side itching to pick a fight, and the other side is more than willing to oblige. I mean really what did you think these Nazi asshole were going to get when they hit the street...a parade?
It's like the workplace free speech scenario. You can say what you want, but if an employer doesn't want to keep you around after saying it, they don't have to. You may be free from government enforcement of speech, but you are never free from the reaction of others to it.
You can say whatever, whenever. You can't stop people from responding in kind, so long as the response isn't violent.
