I don't love Nazis.

But I also believe in Constitutional rights, law and order, and winning the war is more important than winning the battle. Any violence initiatied from the counter protesters has only served to give an excuse to the Nazi idiots who went there to start this whole thing. You did more harm than good.

The difference would be if I saw Nazis directly attacking the innocent and then I had to decide how to help the innocent and deter from othres being attacked. That might actually be the case here, but I don't know that yet from the news reports I've read so far.

You are the child of a reformed Jewish family (i.e. that arent ethnically jewish) but yet you are not practising. How can you consider yourself to be Jewish? You or neither ethnically nor religiously jewish.

You would be arrested in Germany if you attacked a certain group of Neo Nazis , Germany’s supreme constitutional court has rejected a proposed ban on a far-right party accused of neo-Nazi links because its members are deemed too ineffective to pose a real threat to democracy.

The Federal Constitutional Court rejected a historic attempt by all of Germany’s 16 states to outlaw the National Democratic Party (NPD), which has been described by intelligence services as racist and anti-Semitic.

In its unanimous judgement, the court agreed that the NPD wants to eliminate existing democratic freedoms in favour of an authoritarian state housing an ethnically defined “national community”.

“Their political concept disregards human dignity and is incompatible with the principle of democracy,” it continued.

“The NPD also works in a well-planned way and with sufficient intensity to achieve its goals against the liberal democratic order.

“However, there is (currently) a lack of concrete evidence showing it is possible for these actions to lead to success.”

The court’s judgement said the NPD had an “essential affinity with national socialism [Nazism]”, including using the phrase Volksgemeinschaft, which has strong anti-Semitic and Nazi associations.

Judges said the party employs the vocabulary, songs and symbolism of the Third Reich, and that some of its supporters display “intimidating and criminal behaviour”.

The ban, which was applied for in 2013, would have been the first of its kind since 1956.

It was the second attempt to prohibit the NPD, which officials say violates the constitution of the state that funds it.

It states: “Parties that, by reason of their aims or the behaviour of their adherents, seek to undermine or abolish the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be unconstitutional.”

Not attacking someone simply because I don't agree with their parade isn't "loving nazi's". In fact I do not love them, I do not agree with them and I think they are despicable. If they are being peaceful it would not justify an attack against them. If they, however, are assaulting someone, either verbally or physically, I would do all I could to defend their victim. As much as I hate the white extremist mindset, they have that right to think as they do up until they act on it by oppressing someone else.
