Of Course!

This is what happens when you Ban Free Speech
Not that they will learn that lesson from this case, but this is what happens.

STUTTGART, Germany, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Prosecutors urged a German court Wednesday to fine a German man for displaying Nazi symbols, even though he was campaigning against Nazism.
Prosecutor Bernhard Haeussler urged a Stuttgart state court to fine Juergen Kamm $7,600 for selling anti-Nazi merchandise, via his mail-order business, that carries swastikas and other Nazi symbols.
He argued German law strictly forbade the use of symbols associated with the Nazi regime no matter how they were used, the Deutsche Welle broadcaster reported.
Kamm, owner of the Not Good mail-order company, shows what Nazi symbols, but with a circle with a line over them signifying "no."
"Every citizen should take a stand against the extreme right," he said.
Germany's federal court of justice ruled in 1973 it was legal to produce a swastika provided it had clearly been altered for the purposes of protesting against Nazism
A verdict in the case is expected this week.


Isn't this the perfect example of modern political thought?

And I'll post this image even when they outlaw it.
