Thats my problem with it eos. As a parent, I would imagine that having to bury your own child as being the most difficult thing to deal with. I would never want or wish that upon anyone.
I believe in the constitution and yes it needs to be upheld at all cost. So if they wanted to protest, fine, they can do so in silence just as well. Doing so and shouting the way they were is wrong though. If they were going to be allowed to do it then they should have been made to be further away because believe me when I say this, 1000ft is not very far and can be heard quite clearly especially since they were in mass and saying the same thing together. Hell they could even pick a more appropriate venue to voice their views and possibly get a better response.
Typically a protest is done to get attention to your cause and gain support for said cause. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. They dont seem to be trying to gain support though. They seem to just want to be antagonistic. If that is the case then pretending to protest is a clear abuse of the system and should not be tolerated.
Look at it from this example. We have the right to bear arms. Because of that right we are allowed to have weopons without any conditions. Yet we are forced to go through "hoops" in order to get said weopons and then we have to register them. Then if you amass too many in the eyes of the government then the ATF comes in and takes them from you anyway because you had too many and became a "threat". Thats a clear violation of that right. Well allowing these people to do what they are doing is much the same, but because we have become such a tolerent society we dont feel it isnt ok and dont bother to challenge the ruling. I just think it is a sad day when people like this just absolutely abuse the system just to be a public nucese.
