I will treat them differently. I would be happy to have BLM folks to dinner and a few beers. Not Nazis.
If I were a teacher in HS, I would not mind having a BLM rep speak to my class. I would not invite a Nazi.
I might invite both if I were a college teacher, and debate were appropriate to the course.
If I were a rancher who needed to get the hay in by week's end, I might hire a Nazi if I had no other choice. If I had a choice, no.
If I owned a public restaurant, I would serve a Nazi who was behaving. (Though I might not serve Trump, to make a political statement.)
As far as the laws go, I don't see where they should be treated differently. A $5 parking ticket for the head of BLM should be $5 for Richard Spencer, if each committed the same offense.
So you would treat them equally? As to your examples I could see merit in interacting with both populations. Why not have a beer with a Nazi and get to know what motivates his beliefs?
