Snyder v. Phelps: Inside the Supreme Court's Free Speech Showdown

Snyder v. Phelps: Inside the Supreme Court's Free Speech Showdown

These people make me sick. I want to find them and... I don't even know. I want to scream and use violence on them. Spew on them all the anger that I feel in regards to their disgusting actions. I also want to sit them down and calmly explain that they are being hateful, hurtful and unkind.
To give a bit of context here, I am not particularly fond of the war in which we're currently engaged. I hope to never have a funeral and I don't attend them willingly. I think grief should be much more private and less organized than most funerals allow. Although I do my part to support the men and women that choose to spend their lives defending our country, I do not as a whole support our military system.
But I also do not think my own beliefs should be imposed on anyone else. I make sure to send packages of goodies overseas and I do attend the funerals of my loved ones. My beliefs are private and there is a time and place to discuss such sensitive subjects. At the funeral of a man who died doing something he felt was right, just and necessary is not the time to share your controversial and detestable opinions.
Hate-mongering is not free speech. Attacking a bereaved family that has nothing to do with your rather psychotic cause is not free speech! It is harassment and it should not be protected under the first amendment, instead it should be prosecuted as harassment. These people should be forced to pay the $5 million in damages as awarded by the first court in which this suit was heard. These people should have charges brought up on them for disturbing the peace, harassment and any other charge that lawyers and police can imagine.
Or better yet, we should shoot a few of the leaders and hold up signs at their funerals congratulating ourselves and declaring their deaths to be God's will.
