Mississippi 'deals with" Westboro Baptists.
#26
RE: Mississippi 'deals with" Westboro Baptists.
This is one of those threads where nearly everyone has a somewhat valid point.

I finally decided I'm going to go with morality instead of legality on this one.
There is legal right and wrong and there is moral right and wrong.

Legally, the WBC had the right to protest, and thus those that prohibited that action were wrong.
Morally, the WBC is wrong for using a time of great sorrow to make money. They pretend that this has something to do with their religion and that they are protesting the acts of soldiers on a foreign battlefield. (which is ironic since their god is the great endorser of killing on a battlefield) They are taking advantage of the American justice system and intentionally hurting people to make easy money. To take advantage of someone's sorrow, especially over the death of someone they loved the most in this world, is morally reprehensible.

Therefore, I feel that their moral wrong outweighs those in the legal wrong and I fully support the actions of the local community.
