Federal 1,300 Feet Mandate For All Funeral Protests
The Supreme Court ruled it was legal to protest during funeral services.
This Act is known as the Federal 1,300 Feet Mandate For all Funeral Protests:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
(1) A funeral is a religious observance free exercise thereof which Our Constitution guaranteed peaceful accommodation being a religious act to bury one’s dead-a ceremony in Reverence to God-which is the said service itself. Yelling obscenities, insulting signs, etc., known as funeral protests, during the commission of a funeral ceremony is not peaceful, in that it could easily erupt to violence due to high emotions of grieving. (2) The FUNERAL ceremony itself is private property paid for by the family. Defacing the funeral ceremony is no different than destroying private property and of great monetary value.
Funeral protests accommodating freedom of speech issues combined with observing religious service rights, a.k.a., funeral, the following shall become Law: Funeral Protests illegal within 1,300 feet from the property line of a house of worship, cemetery, mortuary, or other place, where funeral service is held. The United States of America citizens have a right to bury their dead in Peace in Benediction of God and one’s Religion.
Thank you for your time and respecting our right to bury our dead in peace, in observance and Reverence to God.
Sincerely,
Free speech counts, even when someone is being an obnoxious, however, when speech becomes detrimental, such as in regard to promoting hate or death, there is a serious problem. If humanity is to evolve itself into something better, we need to realize that some speech isn’t free at all. It is very costly.
In an 8 to 1 vote, The Supreme Court rules in favor of church “hate
speech” at funerals. The only voice of dissension, Justice Samuel Alito,
said Snyder wanted only to “bury his son in peace”
