Military Funeral Picketing partially banned, WBC are tools.

There is a simple solution.

Protest them, when they protest.
Form a posse and annoy the shit out of THEM where they protest.

Block them and shout louder.
Hell I am Canadian and I would show up, to wave an American flag just to get at them.

Well, yeah, the last part was obvious.

So this happened. For those of you not able to load that up for some reason, Obama put restrictions on the way that military funeral protesters could protest, i.e. staying back 300 ft. and other restrictions. OK, let's just get it out of the way that WBC are pretty much the only people we're talking about because no one else has reached their level of scum to protest dead soldiers.

Now, not too many people are standing up for the underdogs in this case due to the underdogs being swine that the KKK considers too rash and bigoted, but there is discussion on whether or not we should bend the rules of the 1st amendment (freedom of speech for you European people who hate liberty and apple pies) even if those rules allow douchebags to do what they do best by desecrating every inch of space they take up.

So, Escapists, should America let the people who I'm running out of insulting names for protest lest we invalidate the 1st amendment? Should I be taking my meds more often? And why is there a floating piece of garlic bread levitating in the corner of my room trying to convince me that OJ didn't do it? Let me know below. Quickly.

Picketing gay funerals - A-okay. Picketing military funerals - Nadda.

I think we should stop these people from doing this completely. Freedom of speech is no excuse for harassing people during a funeral. In fact, that's what it is. Harassment. These people are criminals. They can say whatever putrid things they want about dead people, but they need to do it away from a funeral.

I don't see any problem with this.

People and their damned "slippery slopes". As if Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mobuto, Gaddafi, Hussein or any other of these assholes ever slippery sloped their way into power.

Tyranny doesn't take it slow, it comes with a bang. This ain't no bang.

The WBC's freedom of speech shouldn't overrule the right of a grieving family to be left in peace.
