Wearing Nazi insignia (including some who proudly sported SS pins) while lined up on public walkways while shouting "Jews will not replace us" to passersby is considered intimidation and, by definition, a hate crime. Here's the pdf link:

And how many were arrested?

IANAL but I suspect “an act committed “ means more than speech.

Hate crimes include intimidation. I mean - I can jump down the rabbit hole and come up with the exact laws, definitions, and statutes, but I'm a senior, my lifespan is limited, and I'm not in the mood to do your homework for you. If you want more information, check case law, state general statutes, federal law, and local regulations with regards to hate crimes and discrimination based on religion.

The protest was NOT about either rich people or poor people. Because BOTH are implicated in Global Warming. Middle-class people are driving gas-polluting, earth-killing golf carts, lawnmowers, cars, and trucks when they SHOULD be driving Electric vehicles!

This country better get a grip, because if we don't this is going to become worst. I'm getting to believe this is not going to stop until we start seeing bodies buried.

I agree that we are approaching a turning point.

We are very close to the tipping point. You are causing your grand and great-grandchildren to inherit a plant that is uninhabitable. I do not think you are nuts. Instead, i think you and those like you are stupid.

true !

How many minds do you think you’ve changed? How many do you think you simply irritated?

Looks like there were four of these protesters.

She handled it with class. Coco Gauff 'can't really get upset' at climate protesters who caused 45-minute delay in her US Open semifinal | CNN

He handlers told her to say that. Can you imagine the "cancellation" that would occur if she trashed them?

Yeah, I'm sure it happened...

Not a single reputable source is reporting that...

They weren't exactly law abiding, or disruption free.

I went to a "No Nukes" concert once...

Oh, and I yelled "ROTC Off Campus" out my dorm window another time...

You?
