I totally agree with you! We should leave Al Qaida members alone until one proves himself violent, and only then should we go after just that one! They should be allowed to voice their opinions, to plan to kill lots of Americans, but until they do so, we shouldn't even arrest one, and after a few do so, we should not do anything against the others until they have done the same!
And before you start whining that you cannot compare the two, neo-nazism sees non-whites as non-human, and wants to rid the earth of 'that filth'. A lot of them get really violent, and I don't feel like waiting for the rest to get violent too, or for the smarter ones to play the public opinion.
If you know your neighbour will rape your kid in the near future, you don't sit there waiting for it to happen, as 'he has not yet done anything wrong', you take steps to prevent it. Yet you do not want to do anything against these f*ckheads until they kill yet another person?
Actually, your first paragraph, although it is sarcastic, I agree with. They can spout off about hating us and wanting to kill us all they want. That's not a
crime. And, in case you didn't notice, this country works on "innocent until proven guilty" which means until they do something that breaks the law, there isn't anything that we can do about it other than watch them.
You can stand on the sidewalk in front of a police station and shout "I'M GONNA KILL ALL OF YOU PIGS!" and they can't do jack crap about it -as they shouldn't be. It's an opinion that is guarded by the constitution, just like the Nazis. Now, the police might start following you and watching what you do to make sure that they can intercept you, but still... you have to take action toward violence before they can do anything.
