If the Ku Klux Klan governed Ann Arbor, it would spend large sums to stage recruitment rallies and to hold anti-Klan protestors hostage on nebulous and insignificant charges. The identical policies of the current authorities harm the community. It fronts an even larger network of Nazi organizations. And it seeks a beachhead in Michigan.
Authorities provide little protection from the hate crimes committed or incited by such groups.
At hate-group rallies, these groups demonstrate that citizens will defend themselves even if authorities do not. Studies indicate hate groups are more hesitant to act subsequently. The rest of the year the antiracists work impressively hard, and nonviolently, for diversity in public institutions, for the homeless, for better corrections conditions, for freedom for political prisoners, for reduction in militarism, to expose the rise of secretive fascist groups, etc. The public benefits, while the antiracists risk their own safety, and sometimes lose their lives. But since they merely promote genocidal race war, the government mandates a public forum.
