1. Deplorable

These people are sick, this man belongs in prison, hope the courts see it that way.

2. Give him a Camp Gitmo shirt

3. Why haven't they charged him with hate speech?

If someone was walking around with a sign that had the "N" word on it there would be repercussions.

7. Because "hate speech" is not recognized in US law and there is no such charge.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that laws against "hate speech" are unconstitutional due to the First Amendment. So your hypothetical person walking around with a sign that had the N-word on it would probably face repercussions in the form of an ass-whooping, but couldn't be charged with a crime. I suppose a DA might try to charge that hypothetical person with something like disorderly conduct, but it wouldn't go anywhere.

4. A lot of these guys are right out of prison.

They carry the hate from there forever.

5. It seems to be a misdemeanor only

Damn. A felony conviction would probably mean he could not own a gun.

6. When the Feds arrested him and searched his home with a warrant they removed

“Folder titled ‘White’s Only Material’,” “Race Evolution and Behavior Book,” “German eagle with Swastika” and “‘colored’ placard,’” as well as “two VCR tapes with Hitler photos.”

CNN reported that 'Virginia court records show that Packer has a criminal history that includes three convictions for driving under the influence and a felony conviction for forging public records. In 2016, he was charged for allegedly trespassing, though that case was dismissed." He's a real sweetheart.

I wish it was illegal to be a Nazi and he could be jailed just for that.

9. A particularly well qualified Republican.

The forging public records part.
