I hate to say it, but I agree with you that the USSC got this one right. As long as WBB members are on public land, they have the same rights as the rest of us. I may not like what they say, but I have to agree that they have the right to say it.
That being said, the personal property idea sounds like the best way to go here. I know most people will want to resort to force to stop this bunch, but you can’t fight stupid with stupid. They’ll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. The better way would be to maneuver them into a position where they can do as little harm as possible and then support the families who are grieving.
WBC was planning to protest at a Catholic church funeral in Leavenworth. The day of the funeral came and they didn’t show.
The pastor of the church revealed a couple of months ago that, on the day of the funeral, Fr. David got a call from a pastor of a church some 20 miles south of Leavenworth, telling him that WBC was there. The other pastor asked what he should do.
The two pastors agreed it would be best to just let WBC be - their failure to read a map properly wasn’t the cglergymen’s fault! ;-P
