There are these sick whack jobs out there who feel that there is nothing wrong with having their war protest within a few hundred feet of a military funeral.  Is it just me or are these people sick?  I mean, I don't like drunk driving, but I'm not about to go protest it outside a victim's funeral.

There are better ways to protest the war.  Ways that don't interfere with the grieving families of fallen troops.  Try this one for example; write a letter to your elected officials - you know, someone who can actually do something about it!

Thankfully there are some states who are stepping in to prevent these atrocities from happening anymore.  New Jersey became the 12th state to limit these protests at funerals. 

Some will argue that the protesters have freedom of speech, and therefore should have the right to continue with their protests at military funerals.  But you have to remember that when speech is intended to cause harm or incite violence (i.e. yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre) certain speech can be illegal.  In my book, these protests do nothing but incite violence, and if nothing violent happens to be done at a particular funeral all that shows is the restraint and discipline of the other soldiers in attendance.
