Preach it brother!

Agree +1

It's fun being me.
There is a time and a place for free speech, though. And someone's funeral is not one of them.

So this means that I'm not allowed to show up at Freddie boy's funeral that discuss how his hateful soul is burning in Hell? Because I'm really looking forward to that.

Much as I hate to say it, my dear, that would make you no better than him, and probably prove a point or two for him.

Me, I'd rather see him in a pauper's grave... wrapped in burlap, tied in string, and tossed in a pit with a shovelful of lime poured over him to keep down the stench.

I see the issue as along the same lines as shouting a false alarm fire in a theater so far as that the likely result of making the speech is the infliction harm. Rather than panic, the harm inflicted is emotional and psycological.

Not to mention there are plenty of public venues to hold a demostration. It's not like the Phelps family is being pidgeon-hold into some sort of out of the way caged-in zone. We would never allow that either.
(Oh SNAP, we already do!)
