An example would be how they protested homosexuality IN GENERAL outside of the funeral of a US soldier who was KIA, that's just plain fucked up.
More importantly, they could be spurring people to act on racist ideals(i.e. KKK).
Ignorance is bad, but it's worse when people act on it. Don't be that person, sid.
You just said homosexuality, now you need to pay a fine. Oh wait, you said racist, now it's jail time, mister. What's this? did you use the word PROFANE? death row. That's an obvious exaggeration of the less powerful yet more idiotic fighting words doctrine. What do you plan to accomplish in limiting the freedom of speech between races? I've lived everywhere, and I've moved to the US recently, and I can say that you people are the most racist and prejudiced people in the world, not because you don't enforce respect, but because you give too much of a fuck. If you go anywhere in the world, you can joke about how your friend loves watermelons and he will then talk about how you will probably catch on fire under the sun. And you will both laugh. In America, you even look at someone with a different accent than you and it's cause for a law suit. I don't know what you see in this law, but it's dumb.

Like I said, it prevents radical acts by those without common sense. Things that aren't DEFINITIVELY profane don't need to be banned. For example, "you mad bro" was recently claimed as racist by the NAACP. It's obviously not, and thus is not racist and would not be racist. However, the things the Westboro Baptist Church are saying, such as "all niggers should die" and "kill the fags" SHOULD be punished.
1) they're insulting those people
2) they could be causing other people to act on this prejudice due to ignorance.
How many times are you people gonna make me reiterate? RADICALISM WILL ALWAYS BE A PROBLEM. COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON.

Are the majority of people serial killers? No? Then killing should be perfectly legal.
Hoss.
I live in south africa so we don't have anything like this, we believe people can say whatever they want, but hate speech and racism is against the law and if you call someone of a different race something like "baboon" or anything you will be fined and it is "hate speech" and "racism", I think the law yóu are talking about is pretty ridiculous? Are they gonna arrest every single person who says something wrong? Jeesh, anyway yeah, stupid rule and it will be hard to enforce

Serial killers are dealt with individually, you don't shoot half a billion people in the foot because one killed someone.
