I say let everyone keep their freedom of speech and all that, because like everyone said, I don't want it taken away from me. With that being said, it's just a matter of time before someone walks up to the leader, Phelps I believe it is, with a .357 and exercises his right They're gonna go to the wrong person's funeral one day.

free speech is free speech no matter what. Start making "provisions" in this case then what stops them from making "provisions" in times or war? Or "provisions" during elections etc. All or nothing.

Still doesn't give them the right to strip away free speech to law abiding citizens. That is even more fucked up than protesting a vets funeral. Lady justice has no emotions.

Obviously phelps is more universally offensive, yet the definition of offensive obviously varies, from individual to individual, and generation to generation. This is why there can be no provisions except on location of the protest, not on the delivery or content of the speech itself.
O.O
Not really.
Smoking weed isn't deliberately offensive, protesting military funerals with signs that say "god hates fags" is deliberately offensive. Being offensive on purpose, for no beneficial reasons, is fucked up.
He knows it is offensive, that is his reason to do it. He is a giant Troll.
Good bye south park, family guy; hell a whole lot of comedic television.
Also they believe there are beneficial reasons to their offensives, it does serve purpose in their eyes.

You know, the only way to beat a troll is to ignore it. Or engage in troll cannibalism and troll him back.
Makes me wonder what the reaction would be if the funeral attendees just carried on with their service without paying any attention to the crazy Westboro cockbites. 
I'd just murder fred phelps and his family in the night a year later.
Everyone knows you can only kill a troll with fire, otherwise they regenerate.
Yup, straight up. If my son died and someone was there protesting his funeral I'd straight up open fire on them. Wouldn't even hesitate. Well, maybe I'd hesitate just long enough to wonder if I should do with with my bare hands instead for satisfaction sake, but that's about it.

What's your opinion on this? I'd like to see some vigilantes just roll up and spray these people with bullets, but our government shouldn't do shit about it. There's a case that the Supreme court has before it (Snyder v Phelps). Check out the link below. I guess the ruling wont be done until spring 2011. Lets hope they get it right this time, unlike the campaign finance ruling they made last January. See here

I think the military is disgusting, but I think these people are even more disgusting.
Although I think that war is never the answer, these people aren't the ones suggesting we go to war.

I doubt any of them were alive during the late 30's early 40s - when hitler was trying to take over the world. War is the only answer sometimes. but not in the last 70 years.

I have several friend that are in iraq right now. None of them believe in the war there but they have no choice but to be there. So what these people are doing is disgusting .. We dont have to support our idiot govts ideas but dont wish violence on the soldiers..

Christianity has spilled more blood than anyone. They have no logical reason to protest.
Perhaps they feel guilty for what their religion has done, but acting out like idiots is only going to bring more pain for themselves and others.
Typical American Christians if you ask me

You know what's sad is that Phelps will very likely win that case. His freedom of expression is very firmly indoctrinated in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. Although it's highly offensive and divisive to the wellbeing of America, his right to be that big of a cunt is inarguably protected.

yes, which makes me wonder why the supreme court would even hear the case. seems pretty black and white to me. phelps winning that case is exactly what should happen. i dont think that's a sad thing. i think the sad thing is that this case went up to the supreme court. its just not the precedent we need to set.

ya, we should have just pushed love energy over to axis powers in the 40s. We'd have it made now, if we had done that.

Honestly it may have no reached the court via appeals. My guess would be the Court requested the case via writs of certiorari specifically because they feels there's a precedent that needs to be set here. I feel like nowadays this is a pretty common issue and they may have accepted this as a landmark case specifically to help quell the onslaught of lawsuits
