Hahahah, there's that ubiquitous description of leftist protest: "mostly peaceful".
But I agree with the theme of that article, for sure. I'm sure we've all been bullied for things we think, how we look, our religion, our nationality - the key is not to reuse those actions on things we don't like because we just justify the earlier bad acts.
And there have been consequences! Imagine being subject to the Mob that is social media: call you out, get you fired, ruin your life and without a moment's pause to verify that what you have been told about that person is true.

Nazism isn't just something "we dislike"
It's not like crusty hippies or tea-party folks; yes dickheads at protests across the political spectrum overstep the mark but we're talking here about the whole point of the protest being to celebrate the violent persecution and slaughter of others.

Indeed. And for the time being that's not criminal in the US
But by opening up Nazis to any consequence, you return to an environment where anyone can be accused of being Nazi/witch/whatever and be punished. With the fickleness and passing fads of humanity, that is a dangerous precedent.
