I mean that is literally what a right to free speech means, so they're not wrong.

That way yall can let nazi shit going and call it freedom of speech , murder is also freedom of expression in a way then ?

No, not at all. Murder is an action that is illegal. Saying something isn't, no matter how much you disagree with it. I don't like people saying racist stuff, but I'm certainly not of the belief that they shouldn't be allowed to say it.

Now imagine people holding hate speech conferences where they gather and talk about cleaning the population (a dogwhistle to genocide) I wonder if that is ok ! And the riots that happen coz of the radicalised masses ?

And the riots that happen coz of the radicalised masses ?

Aren't these called "mostly peaceful protests" now? Or is that only when it's your "side" that's doing the rioting?
