Because they’re all nuts and they like the media attention they get when they do this sort of thing, like when the Amish kids got killed in PA. They were given time on someone’s radio show if they promised not to protest these innocent children.

That was the worst thing that could have been done. The best method to reinforce a behavior in lab rats is to give them intermittent positive reinforcement.

The "Fighting Words Doctrine" mixed in with "Jury Nullification" should be enough to deal with Phelps. That would be negative reinforcement.

Well, maybe so, but it saved the Amish from having to deal with these crazies after all those children died. But on the other hand, if you give them some rope, they’ll hang themselves. People will REALLY hear what they’re all about.
