  Can you only be racist at 18?

  Likewise being a teen doesn’t change the bullshit excuse by the courts.

      Learn the difference between opinions and actions.

        Sorry, my mistake. Criminalizing expressing opinions in public is fucking stupid.

    Wrong and wrong…

    If you really think there’s no different between 15 and 18, then give a 15yr old alcohol, give them a licence and let them vote.

    They’re a kid that a group of Nazi fuckwits marched past and they reacted with a Nazi salute, that it.

      Oh yes I remember all the times as a 15 year old I jokingly saluted neo Nazis. Classic childhood stuff, if this were 1935 Germany.

      This kid should be made to undergo some sort of community service or opportunity to learn and reflect on their actions. Not given a free pass and dismissal of racism.
