What happened to Heather Heyer was also not speech. What happened to Clementa Pinckney and 8 other African-Americans at the Charleston church shooting was not speech. What happened at the Tree of Life Pittsburgh synagogue shooting was not speech.

Shouldn't the same argument apply to the videos that radicalized those murderers?

No. Why should it?

My parent comment had said that conspiracy to recruit people to commit crimes is not an unreasonable basis for making it illegal to distribute recruitment videos for ISIS, because they are a criminal organization due to their violence, not their speech. That implies that that should also not be an unreasonable basis for making it illegal to distribute recruitment videos for violent white nationalist organizations.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, thank you for explaining. I misunderstood the context of your question.

If you can prove that any particular video did so, sure, I don't see a problem with that.
