And what's to stop someone from declaring their city a funeral site?
There already exists a policy blocking protests at military funerals, they could just extend this to all funerals.

Now we can't counter protest WBC when they break the law.
OBAMA, YOU DON' GOOFED.
We have a right to offend. People will use this right in ways you disagree with, but that's why it's a right. People have this idea they should only protect freedoms for people they agree with. After all, if you're not taking advantage of a freedom, why would you care if it were taken away?

WBC are atheists in disguise trying to make religious people look bad.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that people have a right to offend people wherever and whenever.

Here's an excellent debate on the subject.
What authority do you believe has the right and the necessary insight to decide what speech of your is deemed acceptable and what is considered too offensive and therefore censored?

None, really. However, I don't think that applies to location. There is really no reason that anyone needs to protest on site during a funeral.

Please don't associate us with those people.

They protest on military funerals due to their philosophy that the military is at fault for allowing homosexuals to exist, whilst their fighting is incurring the wrath of God. All that aside, if that is their philosophy, funerals of the military *would* be their prime target, so I really don't think we can regulate where a group decides to protest. I'm really not sure on that.

Thing is though, they still can protest about all that, but they don't need to do it on site at the funeral. They can, quite simply, do it somewhere else.

Who knows? Probably not, but let's leave that door open.
