Court's ruling in funeral protest case restates First Amendment principles

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.

It sounds like you want people to justify their speech before it's protected... which is not how the Constitution works. Paraphrasing the court: Their protest addresses a public manner, so it's protected. They're not calling out Snyder in particular. He knew they were going to be there. They called ahead and talk with the police about being there.

If people are that upset about the issue, they should look at their local governments and not at the Federal.

Westboro’s choice of where and when to conduct its picketing is not beyond the Government’s regulatory reach—it is “subject to reason-able time, place, or manner restrictions.”
