They don't like people who promote racism here. There's a real problem with racial violence directed towards the Roma... about a week ago, in a different part of the country, a home was fire bombed - home made Maltov cocktails... and a Roma family was severely harmed, with a 2 year old girl in critical condition. The neo-Nazis are on the rise throughout Europe and in Czech.
Holocaust deniers are liked even less than blatant racists. And David Duke is both. His lecture in Prague on an unrelated topic was canceled, and apparently this happened.... David Duke arrested and told to GET OUT!
It is a crime here to deny the holocaust. Good job you 30 masked police officers! Maybe a bit of overkill, but thanks for taking a stance and making it abundantly clear that those who are intolerant of others, those "former" KKK followers, those who incite others to hate-filled violence will NOT be tolerated.

Politically speaking, I basically have no opinions as I don't spend much time thinking about the subject(s). Perhaps I lost my faith in democracy a long time ago. And this situation illustrates quite well my current disbelief. Somehow I don't trust in a system arguably based in freedom which denies the right of opinion, whatever opinion is. So, we are free to express our opinions if they are supportive of the system. That's a peculiar sense of free speach. In the old dictactorships of Franco, Mussolini, Salazar, etc... people were also free to express opinions... as far as they weren't against the system. All right, apparently the scope of allowed opinions it's wider. In the end, same shit.
If someone don't believe in the Holocaust, so what? Their problem. This is even more serious. People are forced to believe in things, or at least, keep quiet about their disbelief.
