I agree with this 100%. There is a place and time for expression. A funeral is not one of them. Louisiana already has such a law in place and I would have no hesitation enforcing it with incarceration.

Does anyone have a true accounting of how they are funded? I've heard speculations, googled and found them again. In particular I'd like to know what they collect under the "Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act of 1976". If this church is a nonprofit organization don't they have public records?
I admire and respect the Patriot Guard riders and applaud the counter protests. They give the families support and, I hope, comfort, but they can't take away the knowledge these snakes were lurking. If it was a simple serpent, cutting off the head would do nicely. Among civilized men we look for different solutions - cutting off the money often works about as well as a spade.

Free speech is all well and good but NOBODY has a right to inflict emotional injury to another. Take the picketing elsewhere.

I agree with the law for the above stated reasons but will be pissed as hell if Arizona has allowed those nutjobs to interrupt military funerals in the past and only now see the need for such a law.

No need for a new law. Just make the punishment for kicking the ever loving $hit out of these people a fine of $1. They get their freedom of speech, and they get the understanding that there are consequences for their actions.

Wasn't there a ruling from the Supreme Court that they were allowed to protest at military funerals? I hope their law covers the military as well.

I'm torn on this subject. The consitutionalist in me argues that the government should have no say in a peaceable assembly. Meaning, if they aren't disorderly, shouting, etc., then it's first amendment stuff.
The motherfu**ng, sh*t-kicking side of me say F*** those ignorant Zekes. I gotta wonder though...cemetaries are private property, or are publically-accessible yet government controlled property, are they not? If they are private, why can't the propietors tell them to F off, and that they're not to be on the grounds. If it's government-owned, the assembly can't be stopped, but the governing body can and should step in to move their protesting grounds as far away as possible from the service."If anything worthwhile comes of this tragedy, it should be the realization by every citizen that often the only thing that stands between them and losing everything they hold dear... is the man wearing a badge." -- Ronald Reagan, in the wake of the deaths of 4 CHP troopers in the Newhall Incident, 1970
