I'm no expert on constitutional law... but this does seem like an infringement of free speech.

That's not the American way.

Now this.... this is the way to do it.. Patriot Riders - Fucking Awesome




Actually as pointed out by a Supreme Court Justice, they are free to to say want they want, just away from a funeral. Something like, yes you have free speech but it does not give you the right to yell "Fire" in a crowded theather.


I believe it was determined that cemeteries do not fall under the umbrella of public property, so therefore they could not protest within the cemetary. I was trying to find that legislation and couldn't, but if I remember correctly, it's because the plot purchases represent personal property and holding stock in a corporation-esque structure.

By the way, stumbled across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39Trctc_fqU - The KKK has protested against WBC.
