regulator 0 #6 January 11, 2011 Arizona just passed a law that protestors cannot be within 300 feet of a funeral. I just saw this on cnn.com http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/11/arizona.shooting/index.html?hpt=T1 Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, has made its name by staging protests at funerals of people who died of AIDS, gay people, soldiers and even civil rights leader Coretta Scott King. As for Loughner, he appeared in a Phoenix federal courtroom Monday to formally hear the charges against him -- including two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of attempting to kill a member of Congress. Randy Loughner, the suspect's father, asked a neighbor to tell reporters camped outside the family's Tucson home Monday that he would eventually make a public statement. "Right now he can't talk. He can't get out three words without crying," neighbor Wayne Smith told CNN affiliate KGUN. Smith said the family had called him Monday and asked for help bringing in the mail at their home. Smith said Randy and Amy Loughner were devastated, but did not know why their son allegedly shot 20 people Saturday. "They have no idea," Smith told CNN affiliate KVOA. "They're as blind on it as we are." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freedom of Speech. The Westboro nut jobs can go on TV all they want and express themselves. That is "Freedom of Speech". To protest at this innocent little girl's funeral is not "Freedom of Speech". IMHO And I asked a long time why these military funerals were repeatedly being interupted. A national law should have been passed a long time ago. A funeral is nowhere to grandstand. The only people with freedom to speak at them should be friends and family. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only people with freedom to speak at them should be friends and family. Let me preface this by saying that I think the westboro folks are serious pieces of shit that deserve to be beaten to a bloody pulp. Forget for a minute that their message is one of hate that most of us can agree is horribly wrong. Is it right for a government to restrict that message because of that? Keep them from the funeral. They already aren't allowed at the funerals. They protest from a distance. I can't find specifics on the measure they are attempting to pass, but it looks like this is actually what they are going to do. Restrict the protest to a certain distance from the funeral. I'm okay with that. In conjunction with this they are organizing a counter protest to effectively block the Phelps family from the families of the victims.

Coreece 190 #16 January 12, 2011 Quote I am emailing felloow PGR members to see if we can block them! (as we do at soldiers funerals) Good luck!It'd be cool if all the PGR had shirts that had "1 Thessalonians 4:11-12" on it. Thessalonians 4:11-12 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.This passage has certainly inspired me recently...maybe it will inspire them to re-evaluate the application of their biblical interpretations.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Bolas 5 #18 January 12, 2011 Quote Quote I will, however, defend thier right to do it. I won't. Fuck 'em. I don't have issue with them being able to protest. I have issue with using public funds to defend them from the reactions of their own speech. Any police should maintain a strictly reactionary stance. If one of the Westboro or a similar group is injured, attempt to determine who assaulted them and arrest/detain that person. No more, no less. Freedom of speech also means that other citizens have the freedom to kick your ass, just not the right to. Protecting people from themselves is never a good idea. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's against the law to yell "fire" in a crowded theater, and it should be against the law to use unrelated funerals to make political protests. There are exceptions for lots of freedoms, and I'm okay with carving out another exception to preserve the peace and dignity of funerals. Those Westboro bastards still have plenty of other places they can practice free speech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Westboro nut cases are visible or disrupt the family on their day of morning, there should be serious consequences. They have the right to protest, but the families of those who have passed have the right to bury their fallen loved ones in piece."There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.
