Westborough Baptist Church, the God Hates F_gs movement, all those other crazies that ridicule our beloved soldiers at their funerals. The only thing is that they have to be a certain number of feet away. I feel they should be punished, and punished harshly. What are your opinions?
(I'd like to see it to be a felony, minimum 5-10 years)

The perfect solution for any dirt bag that protests the funeral of a soldier would be to turn him over to a Supreme Islamic Judge in Iran or Syria and inform the judge that the person was charged with blasphemy by drawing mustaches on Allah posters on American Mosques with pig blood - and we felt they should be the ones to determine his fate.

5-10 and a felony charge would be good. I do't think it should be just Soldiers, but any funeral. Yes, this is the land of the free but do our civil liberties really go so far as to extinguish any human decency? I think those that are really mad aobut this and in a position to do so should go to these peoples town and start protesting at funerals, weddings, and any gathering this church or anyone that is associated with this church has. Make thier daily life a struggle to endure for the protests against them. Don't break any laws, just do what they do, except 100 fold. Protest at thier kids schools, Protests at thier jobs, during church service, weddings, funerals, etc....

That soldier fought hard for freedom and freedom means everyone is entitled to free speech. No matter how ugly and horrid that speech is.
That said, there is nothing preventing the friends and family of the soldier from putting the fear of god into those people, a select group of " I don't care what your rights are ****** get your group out of here or I won't mind spending the night in jail for making you leave" people will likely remove the protesters just fine.

It should at least be harrasment. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but a funeral is really not the place to showcase that. Especially when it's a soldier. All that family has to comfort them is the knowledge that they died for a cause and here come a bunch of insensitive twits who belittle the cause and tell the family that the death was worthless.

To me it seems like it should be considered hate speech similar to racial slurs only worse because it occurs at a funeral. Harassment sounds right. Those people came to our town once and THOUGHT they were going to spew their ugliness. Local talk radio shows found out and spread the word. HUNDREDS of people showed up and lined the route from the church to the cemetery holding flags. They got back in their van and left.

You do not want my opinion Alex, it might ding the sensibilities of some other posters here. Suffice to say my solution would be very quick and leave a lasting impression on those who would behave in this manner.

Weather you support the war or not one should respect someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice! To disrupt their funeral is sick, and a fitting punsihment would be to draft them into service and shipt them off to the war

I think that anyone who disrupts a funeral should be charged with a misdemeanor & spend a few months in jail.
