Mississippi 'deals with" Westboro Baptists.

No. Municipalities are required to grant a permit. They can implement reasonable restrictions. In the case of the WBC case that went to the Supreme Court (which they won) their demonstration was 1,000 feet from the location of the funeral and they could not be seen from the location. The issue there was that the father claimed that just the knowledge that they were protesting caused him mental anguish.

It probably did but it was irrelevant.
