I know what you're saying Wordy it just frustrates me to no end trying to understand why some people defend this behavior. I don't see that it has anything to do with defending the constitution and everything to do with defending the right to be a jerk to each other.

Nobody's stopping him from spouting his crap to the people that want to listen, but we are defending his right to spout his crap to people that don't want to listen? Is it just me or does anyone else see the problem with this?

Sometimes I think people allow this to be covered under the "right to free speech" just because its their way of poking fun at America.

When I was a kid my mom used to get on to me for giving my brother crap verbally. Should I have defended my right to free speech? my right to be a jerk like it or not? Ya, and my mom would have expressed her rights to warm my butt.

It just seems we pick and choose WHEN to defend this right to free speech at the worst possible times. Clearly what this jerk does is wrong and could easily be stopped without touching his precious right to be a jerk, or free speech which ever you prefer, simply from the obvious fact he's mentally abusing this family.

He's about to take probably the worst moment in this family's life and make it even worse, he's taking the last and only time this family will have to say goodbye to their child and turning it into a roadshow and we defend his right to do so by the right to free speech?
