That was a civil lawsuit. If I call you a child molestor, or call
someone a ni**** here, and it causes emotional harm or constitutes
libel, they can most definately sue me. I doubt there's any democracy
where that isn't the case.
On the other hand, you're unlikely to get sued here for holding a KKK
parade or whatever, but that's more a matter of what the judicial
standards are. Someone could certainly try to sue every pro-life
demonstrator, etc, in their town, but I doubt they'd get far.
