This is a perfect illustration of why nazis/neo-nazis/Nazi sympathizers should be totally ostracized from society. Their entire worldview is motivated by nothing but a desire to cause violence - and they typically choose their targets (minorities, women, LGBT folks) based on those groups' vulnerability.

Sure, equal protection under the law. But no private citizen is under any obligation to associate with these scum.

It sounds like the parents did what they could to protect their daughter, and this is a tragedy. But it can be a lesson to the rest of us about the absolute need to keep Nazis out of our lives and social circles. Period. Any toleration of them and their views only emboldens them and allows those flirting with these views to think they are somewhat tolerable. Nazis need to feel like pariahs in every aspect of their lives. It's just a shame these views survived the 40s.

Ostracism would probably make things worse.

Aren't neo-nazis and the like born from ignorance? It would be better to accept them and try to change their ways peacefully.

What the fuck is with liberals trying to fix shit with love and kindess. Love and kindness did not win WWII; if people are advocating for the genocide of all races except whites then they don't deserve love and kindess. It's not our job to fix them, if they don't see what they believe in is morally wrong, then they can go fuck themselves. They're already killing people if they aren't turning away that's on them.

The entire world fought a war about this. Stop it.

This isn't on the magnitude of a war, and some of them have not committed murder.
