Court's ruling in funeral protest case restates First Amendment principles

10 teenagers in front of my house using their "freedom of speech" to let my daughter and her friend know what they "thought of them". This proceeded to bring other neighbors out of their homes to see what the commotion was about. 6 adults outside asking them to leave didn't work. We all also have small children we are trying to protect from listening to the vulgarity occuring outside. They are NOT on our personal property......they are out in the middle of the street. The police come and shoo them away because they are causing a disturbance. I wonder how come this is much different and the police are able to take action? Thoughts?

It was a protest that was notifyed in advance to the police and surveilled by them. They asked the police what were the rules they should follow and complied to them.

Remember: what you feel is right is not the same as what the law says is right. The law has nothing to do with being right, it's simply the code which we have agreed to follow.
