amen.... our first ammendment rights! And hate to beat a dead horse....but read this http://www.aclufl.org/PDFs/right_to_protest_brochure.pdfIt astounds me that people can go on and on about they and "their" family aren't being allowed their civil rights but don't want others to have any.
The Anthony's were enraged, as was their attorney, over how Casey "has a constitutional right to bond out" and yet when these other people are protesting, which is their constitutional rights, the Anthony's don't like it.
I am appalled at how they have the attitude that "rights" only apply to them, IMHO
~snip~ "although inflamatory speakers cannot be punished for merely arousing an audience a speaker can be arrested for incitement if he/she advocates imminent violence or specifically provokes people to commit unlawful actions" ~snip ~
The only violence in the first altercation was George...on little dude who was on the sidewalk and the throwing and wrecking of their table, umbrella, etc. The only violence in the second altercation was neighbors throwing the first punch at protestors and ripping up their signs (they hit back their bad). The violence in the third altercation was George pushing protestors and signs being ripped.
I did not see protestors calling to string up Casey or rush the house, etc. I saw them generally following what is legally allowed. They can yell, sing, dance, etc and it is protected unless they are inciting violence (like yelling kill the bi#$% or any other violent threats).
The protests will end when this case ends imhoo. I hope GA brushes up on his knowledge of first ammendment rights before he walks out of his front door again (being previous LE and all he knows the law on this).
