more realistcly they should be in jail.
What they are doing is not what freedom of speech is meant for.
Seriously something needs to be done about this.....

I agree with you entirely.....
I am not at all happy with the situation in Iraq, and I can NOT stand GWB ...
BUT NOBODY has a right to infringe on the right of a family to grieve the loss of a loved one who has been killed in the war......
These people who protest at funerals are the lowest of scumbags and really do more harm to the anti-war movement than any good THEY think they are doing ......
BY ALL MEANS PROTEST THE WAR ...BUT not at the funeral of a soldier .. protesting at a funeral is low , unethical and down right bloody disgusting... and I can only hope that they eventually understand that.

I believe that those soldiers being buried are seeing what their sacrifice was for. Freedom. To gather, to protest, to be inconsiderate of others losses, to have no honor or morals.
Freedom of Speech is not very well defined. How much goes on today that 60 years ago would have been considered treasonous and yet goes unpunished. From Jane Fonda visiting North Viet-Nam and speaking against the United States, to Sean Penn doing the same in Venezuela.
I do agree. There should be a law against something like that. Harassment would not do, but if nothing else, they should be given at the very least a hefty fine for not having a permit to conduct such a demonstration. Disturbing the peace could fit in there also.

I've been to a couple funerals of friends lost in Iraq
Emotion runs high; I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't get shot for protesting a soldier’s funeral.
EDIT: 'Jake'; It's someones FUNERAL, I'm against abortion, but when someone who had an abortion dies I don't go protesting their funerals, that's a private event. Protesting is to change the governments mind. Not to piss off the family of the deceased.

So if it is an issue you don't support it automatically becomes harassment and if you agree then it's perfectly legal and fine? What does protest mean to you? Do you believe people have a right to protest anything?

Personally, I like your first proposal. Simply open a couple of extra graves, drop them in and the problem is solved.

You were better off shooting them in the face.
I could at least support that position, but arresting nuts for exercising free speech? That I can't support. Soon we'd be running one in 20 in prison.

It is freedom of speech...technically. But personally I consider it harrasment and would find them guilty of such if I were a judge and if it went to court.

Makes one wish dueling was still legal in this country.
