The same arguments were made when the Nazis wanted to march through Skokie, Illinois, which is a heavily Jewish community that had many Holocaust survivors living there at the time (1977). The city argued that to have Nazis march bearing swastikas would promote hatred and would inflict emotional harm on the Holocaust survivors.

I still don’t understand how that march could have been construed as anything other than an attempt to intimidate and psychologically harm the Jewish residents of Skokie. Free speech, my youknowwhat! The courts can and do get it wrong. It was a vile and hateful thing to do, and they did it with a vile and hateful mindset, being…you know…Nazis and all… I’d like to see hooded members of the KKK try pulling a stunt like that in Compton, CA., and see what happens when the defecation hits the rotating blades.
