Amazing how many people think they should not be allowed to protest. They observed the 1000 feet rule at the funeral. Are they jerks? Of course. But if they want to hold up God Hates Fags signs etc, they are protected just as the '78 Skokie case showed and the 1988 case of Larry Flynt. If you don't like it, you have a choice. Ignore.

Bit of an understatement.

So? Bad people exist. And hate speech is protected. Wanting otherwise shows a lack of recognition on what the first amendment guarantees.

Did I say their free speech shouldn't be protected? It really shouldn't be, but it has to be. No way around it even though the court is dying to find a loophole.

There will be no loophole and it should be protected...They will win the case. It never should've gone to trial to begin with.
