We might as well be more thankful that they don't seem to be brazen and crazy enough to actually picket across the street from funerals. Laws in some of the states prevent them from doing so, and if I'm right they don't try to contest the constiutionality of such laws.

But we do have limits on "free speech" I would get arrested if I said to a TSA agent that I have a bomb or gun. Even if I was joking. I would get arrested if I called someone and said I wanted to hurt them. I could get sued if I were to lie and say I saw a famous person drunk in public or I saw them cheating on their spouse. I would go to prison and rightfully so if I made a obscene sexual proposition to a young child. Go up to a cop and tell them you want to have sex with them or ask them to by a bag of grass and see what happens. If CBS had a show where the "F bomb" was dropped several times they would get fined or worst. Lets say there is a bad flood and you know that a bridge has washed out and you went up to a school bus and told them that the bridge is good. Or you knew if was washed out and you didn't tell them.

There are limits on free speech if your actions hurt other. And in my opinion and it is just my opinion these folks directly hurt the families at these funerals. But I can also see where this could be a slippery slope.

Sure they have the right to free speech, but even that has it's limits when it comes to disrespecting the dead and the those they've left behind. They show up here in my home town and I'm sure there's not going to be enough cops to protect them for what is waiting when they show up. Most of these big ole boys around here have no problem going back to jail over stupid people like the WBC and their low life thinking.

And check out what my city (San Francisco) did in reaction to them... no surprise, they usually avoid our town.

Now I only have one question for those imbeciles at the WBC:
What ever happened to what Christ said when they tried to stone the so called prostitute? "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Those morons seem to be casting allot of stones and you know that none of them are pure at heart , or any other way.

I'd like to cast a stone on them... Or two or three. Maybe even play the boulder game like William Wallace in Braveheart. I'm sure King Edward the Longshanks would love to re-institute some old customs on these inbreds.

I'd settle for a good ole caber toss, like they do at the Scottish games and have them standing under it as it comes down..
