This Should Make Kentonio Happy (Funeral Picketing)

[giblets]

Yes, I understand that Cheney was a minor deity and the military can do no wrong - that is what private contractors are for nowadays.

But do you really believe that if a small group of radical atheists loudly picketed funerals (not only military) over several states, proclaiming "burial is wormfood, souls do not exist", that they wouldn't be charged?

Charged with what? We don't have "hate speech" censorship.

[Uncle Sparky]

You have unlawful assembly. You have disturbing the peace. Mattering what they say, you have libel.

And Krazy, we prefer to be called 'differently abled'. You still prefer to be called a f*cktard?

Sorry, kid. That was meant for Krazyhorse.

It would be easier to get arrested if they were communist athiests instead of just the general variety.

The protesters' rights are protected by the First Amendment. Which amendment protects the rights of the grievers?

The 2nd Amendment.

[SlowwHand]

Oooooh. Well-said.

Apparently, disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly laws very from state to state. In California

California "disturbing the peace" laws were first enacted in 1872. Sometimes referred to as "breach of the peace," these disorderly conduct laws are designed to protect against just that...disorderly conduct.

However, despite common misperception, most laws regarding loud noise (for example, hosting a loud party, or performing construction during unreasonable hours) are typically enforced through local municipal codes. Criminal "disturbing the peace" laws are generally reserved for more serious situations.

Since its creation, the most noteworthy change to California's "disturbing the peace" law pertains to the subdivision dealing with "fighting words." A 1976 amendment changed the statute from punishing "[a]ny person who uses offensive words in a public place which are inherently likely to produce a violent reaction" to "[a]ny person who uses offensive words in a public place which are inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction."

So if Krazyhorse was to attend a funeral and yell, "Your ****** son is giong to hell, you ugly retards", this reasonably could 'provoke an immediate violent reaction' and therefore Krazyhorse could be subjected to arrest.

I read similar 'disturbing the peace' laws for Utah, Massatchusetts, Illinois, Florida and Michigan in a quick Google search. (Six states on the first page - I didn't check the other pages.) I didn't bother looking up 'unlawful assembly', but, having proven Krazy lazy in logic, I'll retire undefeated.

Are you kidding me? Fox News would spray their shorts at the prospect. They'd join forces with the ACLU if necessary to keep such jagoffs in action. Atheist funeral-protesters would make the ultimate whipping boy, far too useful to actually lift a finger against. No, you do not know what you're talking about, sorry.

The 2nd Amendment.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to shoot the **** out of ignorant *******s, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

I'm pretty sure WB members have lots of guns.

[DinoDoc]

They make their living by being real life versions of internet trolls. I doubt they come armed as it would detract from the value of their lawsuits.

And make it easy for someone else to claim self defense after shooting them.

[regexcellent]

No, that wouldn't make it easy, unless they opened fire.
