It is not free speech it is harassing the family.
In their case, they have won countless law suits on the basis that their demonstrations of hatred are nothing but their exercising their right to free speech. I agree with you, but the law says otherwise. That is why I argue for reconsidereing free sp... I'll shut up [:D] . (For now.)
Kittin,
a funeral is a private matter. these folks dont go to births yet. the intent is to manipulate the media and to inflict emorional harm onto another. free speech means freedom of thought... not to crash someone space and wreck the mourning. When a person mourns they are very weak spychologically. That is the worse time to provoke them. It was bad enough dealing with mrs R at dads funeral. she was rrejoiceing cos he went home to the lord. I thought man are you fucked in the head. at 21 yrs old, I wanted dad home at home on earth.
Tho- her son Rick, a fishing buddy of mine committed suicide in the gargae he built with his own hands. he died in his van clutching a bible. it was 3 days befroe anyone found him.
the point is- it is an emotional time. the intent is to harrass and harm. not to express a view. a letter to the editor expresses a view.
