Are you saying that we should deal with people saying things we don't like with violence? Should we stop them by beating them into submission? I don't really care what another country would do, we are not them, we are America.
Yes...there are certain funerals they know to not come to, cause they know they would be stomped out...

Even they, value self preservation...

I'm sorry, I missed the part where you answered my questions. Are you advocating violence toward these people? Is that how we are supposed to deal with the things we don't like to hear in America? Do we stop them saying things we don't like by beating them or killing them? Should we stop them saying these things at all?

If my worst enemy died...and I had beef with them, not even I would protest at their funeral...I would allow their family that time to grieve and love...

West Baro baptist church, is going to protest at the wrong funeral one day...

You're very slick. Are you a lawyer or a politician?

We'll leave at you cannot answer a question and I respect your refusal to do so. Good idea.

I don't know what league your (you're) in, but I'm positive I'm not out of anything. Except beer.

Whatever happened to discussion and debate?

Westboro Baptist Church Home Page

(you've got to love that website address!). Fred Phelps, your head will dance on the point of my ancestor's spears, in a particular hell we reserve for such depraved people. Perhaps right beside W. A. Custer?

Are they completely protected from any responses from rightfully insulted family members from any I wonder? Most all of the adult family are lawyers and are, apparently just trolling for a means by which they can sue someone. There must be some state laws if there are no related Federal limitations.

How do local law enforcement types expect there to NOT be a violent exchange if these trolls insult a grieving family member?

The utter nerve of these morons. Why do we tolerate it? This is far worse than yelling "fire" in a movie theater for sure; it's intentionally hugely rude, hurtful and intrusive. These types should all be incarcerated into a mental health facility. Perhaps a little shock therapy? 10kV between the ears? That ought to re-assert their priorities, no?
There can't be any laws that prevent them from doing this, that do not infringe in freedom of expression.. I'm surprised they haven't been shot yet..

Unfortunately, that would only serve their purpose. Then they would be martyrs to their cause, and could whine to the media that they're being victimized and persecuted. Better to leave them alive, as ridiculous as that sounds. (But they shouldn't be able to walk away unscathed!)

Protest the protesters, they're using the Constitution and their freedom of speech to do this, so people can do the same to them, go to where their church is and protest them and at the same time have their tax exempt status revoked because they are making a political statement which as a religious organization they're not supposed to be doing, so let the IRS investigate them.
