Worstboro Batpiss protesters pepper sprayed at military funeral

Sure....make a joke. hahahaha.....


But this magnet thing really confuses some people!! Have you no compassion??

“If you’re sitting at home in your undershirt, watching TV, worried about terrorism, and at the same time objecting to the person who’s putting their life on the line so that your family will be protected, then you’re the worst kind of fucking asshole there is.” - Seth MacFarlane (on gays in the military) on "Real Time with Bill Maher"

"............:chin:............You know what i havent had in a long time? Big League Chew!" ....Peter Griffin

Give them their right to protest. Just make sure that they are confined to protest pens located nowhere near the funeral. heck, they do it to anti-war protestes, Code Pink protesters, and World bank/IMF protesters. So why not here ?

We have two groups at odds, both claiming they have the right to peaceably assemble but one is deliberately attempting to disrupt the other. You tell me which group should have more of a right to peaceably assemble than the other.

The government is the only ones who are prohibited from interfering with protected speech. Both of the groups have a right to peaceably assemble. And, the government is the only ones prohibited from interring, as long as no other laws are being broken (ie assault, ie spraying another group with pepper spray).

Again, I despise the Phelps clan, but they have every right to protest. I might not agree with a word they say, but I will defend to the death their right to say it.

Simple solution: Bury the fallen soldier far enough into the cemetery to require Rev. Dumbshit to go onto the property. Owner of cemetery then has Phelps & Co. arrested for criminal trespass. Then have the sheriff require cash bail, with sourcing statements. Not only do they have to tap the offshore accounts, law enforcement/IRS/ KS tax officials will then have the account numbers.

In my heart I want to agree with you Cor, but the infringement of one persons civil rights is an infringement on all, no matter how much I disagree with them and no matter how much I dislike them. And believe me, I really don't like these disgusting barbaric people.

OTOH, here, if a Law Enforcement Officer tells you to do something, and you ignore him or refuse, you are subject to arrest. They can make a complaint later, they can sue, but at that time, they must comply. They have no right to 'interpret' the officers order in any way, nor is it subject to argument. It may be arbitrary, but dems the breaks.

Then again, carrying signs like "Rot In Hell Wurtsboro Scum", "Phelps is a Fornicating Pig" "Phelps, come get your Ma's Panties" and "Phelps is Gay" might do the trick. The last one isn't an insult, but Phelps would think so. That's free speech too.

Seems they were sleeping while that part of the sermon was preached.
While anyone has the right of free speech and peacefull assembly.

They do not have the right to insult the fallen soldiers that defended their right to do so.
Nor insult and cause suffering to the family members burrying that soldier.
Nor calling upon their so called bigotted form of christianity to defend their "right" to do these monstrocities.
You can find the war illegal, but the ones sending the kids in the war are at fault, not the soldiers send in.

Here their reasoning fails and their right to do this should have been revoked a long time ago.

I was thinking signs along the lines of "Fred Phelps gives great head" "Fred Phelps is a pig fscker"...

Burials here are also protected under our law.
Not that we have those idiots here, but our law gives extra rights to burial processions, must be our Catholic/Lutheran background.

For a demonstration you need a permit, 99.9% of the time that permit is given, but I'm sure in this circumstance no permit would be given, any demonstrator ignoring the law would find himself in custody before he could blink an eye and have his sign up.

I think we differ in opinion here John, they are free to protest anywhere with their bigotry slogans but not near the funeral procession.
Doing that they infringe on the right of the people attending the burial.
