> Hate speech as a crime is very much a thing in the U.S.; people have been fired from jobs, suspended or expelled from school, even arrested.

Isn't this some kind of mob rule basically? This is hard to avoid I think, but it is certainly detrimental to any society. It's at least something that this is not cast into legislation in the US (yet).

The other poster is wrong, the only thing listed that's indication of a crime (and even that isn't proof of a crime) is being arrested.

Nothing else is indication of any crime whatsoever.
