The prosecution argued that although Packer did not post on social media, he broadcasted his beliefs on his clothes. "I just don't think it is appropriate to make him serve more time because he is wearing that shirt, because he is allowed to wear it," his lawyer said. The judge said he can infer Packer wore the shirt for a reason, although he does not know that reason, because Packer has not told the court.
The judge stated that Packer's presence, although not inherently violent,"prevents police from dealing with people who are."
