Should Every Klan Member Be Prosecuted?

[Yallow]

I say yes.

The Klan is a terror organization, and has terrorized citizens for decades.

It is a terror organization, and being a member makes you partially responsible.

They should all be prosecuted.

Sorry if I offended any DU Klansmen.....

1. Interesting concept

Very unamerican, but interesting.

2. It's The Klan That's UnAmerican

In concept.

Not in reality.

5. I may not agree with there speech

And anyboby charged and convicted should be incarcerated. But I have served in the armed forces to protect even their disgusting speech rights. You seem to think even belonging to a group should bring jail time. Slippery slope, does that also mean BLM and OWS people all should be thrown in jail?

6. I Agree With You

It's the things they do other than speaking I am referring to.

BLM isn't planning on burning crosses on any lawn of policemen.

3. If you really care about this stuff, you should donate to the SPLC

Southern Poverty Law Center.

They actually track hate groups, including the KKK and neo-Nazi groups, and work to prosecute hate group members that commit hate crimes.

They are a great organization that does the actual work of trying to bring these people to justice.

4. I Have Donated To Them

And many others....

8. Not only have they tracked hate groups

They have sued them.

7. As much as I would like to agree with you, I can't

Such a precedent would be used for arresting anybody who was a gang member. Being in a gang is not by itself a crime.

9. Confliction within myself

I want to say yes. But my values say that no group nor organization should face persecution. (libertarian-blue belief) Even as much as I hate the Ku Klux Klan, I can't allow a mass persecution, because that makes me a hypocrite and taints my reputation. And this is coming from a big time Public Enemy fan. I can't --- however, we can reduce their power through awareness and tolerance campaigns.

Hate me for saying this, but I don't care. And honestly, I'd have to poll the population for an answer. ("puppet of the people" belief)
