NO, NO,NO,NO,NO!!!!

 

Amid speculation that a Kansas church planned to protest the funerals of two girls killed in Okfuskee County, police in a small Oklahoma town set up barricades and warned mourners.

However, protestors from the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church were not present for the funeral of Taylor Dawn Paschal-Placker, 13, which was held Friday morning at the Dewar First Baptist Church in Dewar, a small community east of Henryetta in Okmulgee County. The church had disseminated faxes threatening to protest the girls' funerals for "the sins of Oklahoma," according to a news report on the Web site for Oklahoma City radio station KOKC.

Dewar police issued a handout to mourners, making them aware of the possible protest and outlining the protestors' rights.

I identify with Free Speech in its entirety, but at the same time do NOT believe that a person has the right to say what ever, when ever, where ever.  FIRE in a theatre for instance.

This is one case where I think that Free Speech should be banned.  These people have NO right to interrupt the grieving family's final goodbye to a loved one.   They need to seriously look inward and correct their own sins first.  And they are Legion.

I am glad that the police set up barricades, but to warn mourners of the "rights" of these vile Christian pretenders really gets my goat.  I would support a law that would restrict any protest within line of sight or hearing of a cemetery or final resting place of any human being.

And could they not already be in violation of laws that forbid inciting a riot?  These yo-yo's show up at a funeral where I am trying to say goodbye, and I'm going to riot.  And given the ilk of most of my family and friends, they will assist me in said riot.

I remember a video that I saw  where the crowd turned on these hate mongers.  The police gave them an escort, but these guys were running scared.  Not until they were moving did they regain any type of bravado.  But, really, you have to wonder why they don't show up in the small, rural, salt of the earth communities to protest.  They threaten, but they seldom show up.  Is it that they are afraid to face our Lord and Savoir?   I'm going to guess yes, yes they are, because deep down inside - they know they are wrong.  Dead wrong.
