Why is the top of his head a different shade than his face?

I wonder who is throwing money behind these folk.
The Tanton network and the estate of the late William Regnery, and sometimes the Russian government.

No one was arrested? I'm not from the US. Is being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
I believe most States in the US draw the line at "(directly) inciting violence" or "creating a disaster" (eg. shouting "Fire!" In a crowded theatre).
For whatever reasons, shouting "white power" and "Jews will not replace us" while waving swastika flags is not considered "inciting violence" in the US, even though the implications are very clear to everyone. This has allowed Nazis to march in the streets for decades in the US.
For whatever reasons
The reason is cops and judges agree with those reasons.
Waving nazi flags and using their slogans should be treated as a threat at all times. There is no possible way that anything nazi is not implied violence.
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
I agree, but I wanted to stick to the less disputed parts of the answer. I simply can't do justice to the topic of US support for Nazi ideology and its extensive history, even though it is a topic well worth researching. Depressing but important, like many other things in this world.
To me it always seemed weird how saying "we should eradicate jews by our own hand" or "we should kill this jew" would probably not be okay because of inciting violence, but saying "we should eradicate jews... Through the law/state" instead is perfectly acceptable and not inciting violence.
Is one level of indirection really enough to make it okay? The end result is the same.
This is also why such free speech has problems. If you're the one spewing that shit it's all fine and dandy for you, but if you're the targeted minority what can you do, exactly? Certainly you cannot legally physically defend yourself! You're just destined to have to defend your literal existence with speech, like jeez. It's so lopsided.
It doesn't make sense when you look at it through the lens of "violence is a bad thing", which is what we're generally led to believe it is about. It does make sense when you look at it through the lens of "xenophobia personally benefits/ed me and my other friends currently in power and I would like to keep it that way but I don't want to do the dirty work myself".
Unfortunately most places have a history of the people in power exploiting other groups of people for their benefit, and this is just one way in which it manifests. It feels weird because we know it isn't congruent with what we're taught about how people in a society should behave.
Is being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
Yes. Ostensibly because of the first amendment, but mostly because cops won't arrest their off-duty coworkers for doing shit they wholeheartedly agree with.
yes, it's protected free speech and assembly under the 1st amendment to the constitution.
Is being an open nazi and rallying for hate speech legal?
Yes. Any law making that illegal would be unconstitutional. They're assholes, but until they do or say something that is part of commiting a crime they still have a right to free speech.
Just like Walt would have wanted.
In many ways, this comment shows just how impotent the social right has become.
It used to be the guy at the top of the company that was a racist POS, and now it's people standing outside the gates lamenting the 'woke' corporation.
That's quite the progress in a century.
They still differentiate between Neo-Nazis and Republicans there?
Why is it that every time there's ever a new story about white supremacists the photo looks like a bunch of Neanderthals and why is there always someone with insane face tattoos?
There are more attractive chimpanzees, how the hell can they claim to be superior.
They're not even white, they're mostly red.
This happens way more often than people might think. Every time I've visited these idiots are standing just outside the property.
Corporations are funding "conservatism", so corporations are funding fascism... Both foreign and domestic, nationally and globally!
