yes in the US you can wave Nazi flags, but if a police officer stops you for allegedly speeding and you remove your hands from the wheel or look them in the eye

yes in the US you can wave Nazi flags, but if a police officer stops you for allegedly speeding and you remove your hands from the wheel or look them in the eyes, they can and will shoot you. They shoot to kill over a thousand times a year. If any of those EU countries had such stats, they would shutdown the police entirely for abuse of violence. Fortunately, we are civilized and it never happened. Anyway you are wrong about the Lodo Alfano in Italy, which I know very well being Italian. The law has been active for a few months before being declared unconstitutional. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodo_Alfano https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodo_Alfano I wonder how wrong you are for every other country EDIT: wrong on the French law too "On 18 June 2020, the French Constitutional Council struck down core provisions of the law." and probably on many others I have no time to check them all, but I already have the feeling that most of them suffer from the same selection bias of the Italian and French one. EDIT 2: the article talking about the Spanish law is no different Hasel was not arrested for insulting the Spanish monarchy, but for saying that the police and the monarchy were responsible of torture and for spreading terrorism in his lyrics. Hasel has a criminal history and had already been arrested two times already for resisting to the police (which is a crime in most western countries) and housebreaking. He knew he was going to be arrested because he had been found guilty in a trial that he could have won, but never showed up. So he barricaded himself inside a university building. I wonder how it would have ended in other freer countries... The application of the law has in the meantime been changed to allow for more dissuasive measures instead of repressive ones. And I must say that I despise the way Spanish police works, but in this case they did what they were supposed to do: they arrested someone who had been condemned for a crime by a regular court.
