Sure, there is hate speech going on with brainless radicals and aimless youth chanting as part of mob over a wide range of political topics, but there's also context in terms of the right to point out wrongs.

Again -"Shut up, let us do whatever we want to the vermin or die if you interfere" is hate speech.
The Left isn't saying this to ICE.
ICE is saying that to the Left.


You can argue hate speech over Israel/Palestine and who is the more just victim with permission to retaliate in another thread.

But - this is about ICE telling people unless they agree to stand by and witness assault and rape against their neighbors (the original definition, not just the sexual act) or be murdered if they even question what's going on, they're the ones indulging in hate speech.
It's apparently not hate speech to this branch of the Federal government when an agent sets up a situation where he shoots a woman for not complying, and spits out "F**k you Bitch" as he kills her.
It is apparently hate speech when her partner was telling him to leave ("You aren't f**ing welcome here - why don't you go get yourself lunch..." ), or worse, when the victim says "I don't hate you, dude..." before he shoots her.
