- In response to all of the responses about the Cincinnati cross
- controversy...I don't believe that the city tried to prohibit the
- KKK from putting up their cross in any way. (I think they were
- happy when they could order it to be taken down due to it being a
- "health hazard," but that's a different story...)
-
- What prompted me to post the original message was that I was
- disturbed because so many citizens seemed to be marching in protest,
- actually carrying signs that said that "Hate speech is not
- protected under the constitution."
-
- Sorry, but...it is.
-
- I don't believe the city of Cincinnati did anything to obstruct the
- KKK. I don't think anyone was officially calling for them to do that.
- However, just the sight of people carrying signs around like that
- gives me the willies.
