“Help! I’m being repressed.”
They are allowed at the funeral but a short distance away so that funeral people can access the front door. They are not 330 feet down the road.Guy sounds like a scumbag. We have enough far right enthusiasts over here as it is.
You guys can keep him!
Pro life people are being repressed in the UK. They have to be up to 330 feet away from the front door of an abortion clinic.Help! I’m being repressed.”
Because once you lose the right to protest outside clinics, it is just a slippery slope.Why are we talking about abortion? Oh yeah- this is CAF.
You realise the family had an actual bomb planted outside their house? It blew up. People were convicted for it.Westboro Baptist Church do not even make the news much and if they have things thrown at them they are not complaining and do not feel threatened. Their property has not been firebombed. They do not feel unsafe. I posted an article about one man who said he wanted to kill Tommy Robinson.
It may have been under attach as was the right to free speech for prolifers but it has been dealt with. Fred phelps died a long time ago in February 2014 and they have not been an active group for years .You realise the family had an actual bomb planted outside their house? It blew up. People were convicted for it.
In 2010, a man was arrested and charged for driving to a westboro baptist church meeting with guns and ammunition in his car, intending to launch an attack on the congregation there.
Numerous documentaries have shown them being threatened, spat on, shouted out, sworn at etc.
Looks like their political freedom is under attack in the USA! Far, far far worse than poor old tommy Robinson
And as Jharek pointed out, your very own Supreme Court upheld a ruling that the church can only protest In designated buffer zones.
The exact ruling states:
In 2016, a federal district court sided with Nebraska in the Shirley Phelps-Roper case. The federal appeals panel also found that the Nebraska law was content-neutral, tailored to fit a narrow use, and allowed for alternate means of protest for the church. It also found no evidence to support Phelps-Roper’s claim that her group was forced to protest at a location 2,000 feet away from the funeral.
“The rights of all speakers, including Phelps-Roper and others at funerals, to publically express their beliefs are protected by the First Amendment—but are not absolute and some time, place, and/or manner restrictions are allowed,” said circuit judge Bobby Sheppard.
Completely irrelevant. The church remains to this day. They have a busy schedule:Fred phelps died a long time ago in February 2014 and they have not been an active group for years .
The case for MA buffer zone law went to the Supreme Court and was decided after his death.
Let’s throw in the racism. Always the race card. Are pro lifers all racists too.No.
This Tommy Robinson shouldn’t go here. There are already too many white identitarians (actually white supremacists reinvented) here.
