You can use a few words as long as they&#8217;re simple like &#8216;Nazi&#8217; or &#8216;rapist&#8217;, but don&#8217;t go overboard.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We yelled, we mobbed, we called people rapist-sympathizers,&#8221; said activist Candice Norris, &#8220;but it just wasn&#8217;t enough.
