Stebbi: Aryan Pickets Are Harassers

Stebbijo: To openly picket at a mexican food stand is not free speech -- it is a form of harrassment for racial purposes only. These guys are NOT picketing the hot dog or barbeque foodstands which we also have in CDA. They are pretty obvious when they wave their KKK flag - that they are protesting races that they do not approve. The police force --next time they show up at a legal mexican food stand needs to move in and arrest them. Period.

Question: Stebbijo raises a good point. Local supremacists are harassing a legitimate business with their intimidating pickets. Why isn't that malicious harassment instead of an example of free speech?
