I dislike nazis and would never do the nazi salute. I wish that other people wouldn't do the nazi salute either. But some people are still going to do it. So the question because what do we do with those people. Do we a) Do nothing. Ignore them. b) Fine them c) Something else...
I see a lot of discussion over whether a or b is the best option, but I'd like to see more of what's in category c. Is there anything that could change their mind? Can we send them to a counseling session? Get them to help out in a jewish community centre?
Stopping someone doing the salute is okay, but changing their mind is even better.
