18. Can't be done. It's the First Amendment, and it applies
even to racist cretins.

Instead, what's needed is that the local community in areas where this is happening to stand up, face down these morons, and expose them, by name.

There's a great scene in "To Kill a Mockingbird," where a bunch of racist a-holes show up to drag the black man off for a lynching. Scout notices one of them, who is the father of someone she goes to school with and calls him out and asks him to say "Hey" to his son. That ends the scene.

If local people who know these idiots will expose them to the light for what they are, they will shrivel up and go away, like a slug sprinkled with salt.
