Busted: Florida neo-Nazi arrested for hanging swastikas on overpass
A Florida man allegedly responsible for hanging swastikas and anti-Semitic propaganda banners on a bridge overlooking Interstate 4 has been arrested under a new law designed to prohibit such displays, reported WTSP on Wednesday.
"Jason Brown, a 48-year-old from Cape Canaveral, was arrested for his alleged actions on June 10. But he didn't work alone, FDLE agents said. Currently, there are three outstanding warrants for additional demonstrators who reportedly participated but live out of state," reported Claire Farrow. "Brown is a self-proclaimed member of the antisemitic, extremist group 'Order of the Black Sun,' FDLE agents said."
Brown is one of the first people to be charged under Florida H.B. 269, a new statute signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this year. Among other things, the law prohibits people from displaying banners or projecting images onto buildings or structures without the consent of the property owner.

(16,957 posts)as much as I personally dislike "hate speech" it's a slippery slope to ban it. Are banners being pulled by airplanes subject to the same limitations? If a slogan or emoji is projected on the side of a condominium do all the residents have to give their approval and permission?
Like I said, it's a slippery slope IMO.
There used to be a saying, "Although I don't agree or support your opinion, I would fight to allow you to have it".

really matter what hate speech is to you. What is it to everyone not you? And who's definition is right and who's is not? Careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
