Who else do you think we should charge with treason? Anyone who is against the war? Anyone who criticizes the government? Anyone who speaks out against any law or policy? Don't be so naive as to fall into the trap of a police state all to shut some people up that you could just ignore anyways.

Luckily there IS free speech and it DOES give them the right to say those things. What people DON'T have the right to do is to go up and physically injure these people. What people DON'T have the right to do is to go out of their way to intentionally allow crimes to happen against them and look the other way. That's ILLEGAL and what they are doing is LEGAL. You DO have the right to go out in public and do whatever you want as long as it is legal. If that action makes someone upset it DOESN'T matter. Making someone upset isn't ILLEGAL it is LEGAL and therefore is allowed. You don't want to be upset? Look away. But as long as what they are doing is legal then it makes no difference who they upset, they should be protected by the law and they should be allowed to do what they do in peace.

Funny how you say you are against these people insulting dead soldiers and then you go ahead and insult Canadian soldiers as if they haven't died so you guys could sit back 100s of miles away filming Britney Spears videos. Real classy, loser.


You don't read too well.

Try again;

" As far as free speech goes.. anyone has it, no matter how much I or anyone doesn't like their message. But that doesn't give them the right to harass a private party at such a tragic time. "
