Not if it endangers the public, get a grip.
This assclown lost this round, rightfully.
And he’ll be back next week on the Dearborn city hall steps it is said and there he can have his *free speech.*
This guy is a deranged FREAK trying to stir up crap in a place it is not needed, like a neighborhood where a *protest* could not be serviced by emergency vehicles and so forth.
This is why this nutcase was denied a permit.
If you want to align yourself with a Westboro equivalent, knock yourself out.
‘If you want to align yourself with a Westboro equivalent, knock yourself out.’
You are associating yourself with Bull Connor and every racist city which jailed civil rights demonstrators, not in your motivation, but in your methods.
All those same arguments were used against the Nazis who wished to march in Skokie, IL. The USSC ruled that the Nazis did indeed have the right to march in the largely Jewish town. Freedom of speech protects even abhorrent speech or it protects no speech at all.
I align myself with the US Constitution, not with the stupid pastor.
‘Not if it endangers the public, get a grip.’
The USSC has long held that if the government believes that a person’s speech will endanger public safety because of those who won’t like it, the government must supply sufficient police and/or military power to suppress the possibility of public danger and allow the speech to continue. If sufficiently dangerous conditions arise, our total military force must be applied to those who would prevent free speech to suppress them.
Westboro won their case as well they should have. But in winning their case they lost what they were seeking. The goal of the Westboro church was to lose the case, then the left could go after conservatives over any speech that they didn’t like or were offended by. Have you noticed that the left never attacks the Westboro church, ever. Gay groups never say anything about the Westboro church. Why do you think that is?
Back in the day the American NAZI Party had a parade in the area of a city that was mostly Jewish. The USSC ruled in favor of the NAZI Party to hold the parade.
The Jews did not have to become violent, and the Muslims do not need to become violent.
So, now accordng to you, if someone doesn’t like what I say and says they will become violent then I don’t get to say it.
Like I said, “Behold a pale horse”
A million people should show up and support his protest.
But I thought moslems were peaceful?
Why would anyone be in danger?
Actually, what needs to happen is 10,000 descend on Dearborn, and see if the police can lock them all up.
Armed.
