You're kidding me, right???

So, in this land of the free, we allow people to comment peacefully on just about anything, even to protest a country protecting itself, as seen in this video here. One thing to notice is the Pro-Gaza group attacking the counter protesters. (But violence never solves anything, right?)

Okay, so why exactly are the Pro-Gaza protesters out? It's because Israel has decided to stop the people who are shooting at them (page 5 includes great graphics of the statistics). And this time, the IDF has the videos to prove what they're doing. And it's not like the Israelis are being particularly cruel or inhumane.

I find it oddly ironic that the Pro-Gaza protesters resort to violence when someone says something they don't agree with. Kind of like shooting mortar shells at somebody because you don't like them.

The First Amendment Means You Can Be Annoying

Well, the folks in Brighton, MI don't think so. Apparently, freedom of speech is only for acceptable speech. Huh?? The whole reason we have a First Amendment to the Constitution is to protect speech that others might find offensive or unacceptable.

The Ban takes effect January 2nd. How soon do you think it will take before someone challenges this and gets it taken into the courts? Once that happens, the ban will have to come down, as it is patently unconstitutional.
