I assume your backing of the neo-nazis was a principled stand for their freedom of speech and lawful assembly--not because you actually supported the cause.

I was not so much thinking.of legal responsibility as he did nothing illegal. I legally have the right to walk up to you and insult your mother, your sister and.anyone else near and.dear to you. Legally the only thing you can do.is yell back or walk away. In reality there would be a good possibility that I could push the right button and you will beat the cap.out of me or worse. Just because I have the right to do something does not mean I should. The video is being used as an excuse to take out aggression on US citizens. Was the legal exercise of free speech worth the cost? The view of the extremist will not change. what's the purpose of the movie other than to piss people off?
Yes is was based on principle. My family survived the holocaust so I would never support the neo Nazi cause.
