Freedom of speech, or harassment and violation

Sadly, I’m going to have to agree with the majority of comments on this one, buy I will voice my outrage in the loophole. Our soldiers are out there dying so that we can enjoy the freedom to say whatever we want without the government being able so censer us. Even when our views are in complete opposition to the norm or most popular, its usually important to listen to their views to reach a greater understanding of others, allowing us to share ideas, beliefs and values. But I have some reasons why this is obviously not the case here as evidence by how their protest moves form free speech to something grotesque. The church thinks our soldiers are being killed because we tolerate gays and abortion. That’s all well and good. I say let them say they want everyone to be less tolerant and deny happiness for our citizens because other people don’t like it. It’s hypocritical given that they’re just giving in and denying us the freedoms that allow them to say such things, but its all well and good. Let them have their church meetings on Sundays preaching whatever they want. Where they crossed the line was going to the funeral of the soldier and spreading their message in a private venue. Now granted I’m not all that enlightened about the specifics of the first amendment, but it seems to me that if its illegal for a single person to go to your house (private property) and harass you about any matter, it should also be illegal for a mob of people to harass you at a cemetery you own a piece of (even a small plot of land where you’re son is buried.) I’m not arguing the church’s right to say whatever it wants. Let them march on the capitol or down the streets waving their "Thank God for dead soldiers" signs all they want. The difference is that this funeral was a private venue. An event for the family of the dead soldier. There wasn’t anyone there with enough political power to do anything about the soldiers being at war. Who were they even protesting? The Father? The cemetery? The dead body? What’s he going do about it? What can he do about it? NOTHING. Besides the media attention that could have been generated form a non offensive public area, they chose to harass the father of a dead soldier. I’m all for free speech, but that’s not what these people were doing. They crashed a funeral and only gave more grief and sadness to a already pained father the man should get some kind of reparations for that.
