The Germans courts are showing the same wisdom once available in US courts and the public. But now the rioters and the media have shut down opinions unacceptable to the MSM and Big Tech in the US. Such irony would once never had been thought possible.
The German courts still do not let people fly nazi flags in political demonstrations. There is no doubt that the US system as it is, offers stronger protections of freedom of speech. But one should be able to question if the current interpretations of the first amendment (with respect to freedom of speech) should be reevaluated. And this includes the limits of hate speech (and in Germany it is illegal to deny the holocaust) or the requirements that make a speech illegal because it incites violence (which will be relevant if speakers like Giuliani and other political figures (including Trump) are criminally charged.
