So you wouldn't sue me for harrasement if i were to follow you around to all interviews and any business meetings or dates held in public places and scream "CRACK HATES FAGGOTS AND JEWS, IS LAZY, AND WILL GIVE YOU AIDS" etc etc at high volume every time you were not in the privacy of your own home?
This is not a free speech issue, it is a harassment issue. Noone is going to arrest them for saying God Hates Fags, that is perfectly legal. It is the manner in which they are 'saying' it that is illegal.
If I get arrested for pulling a bullhorn and screaming anti-Christian remarks during an outdoor easter service, to the point of disruption, would we be having this discussion?
I think the issue here is that he is doing two things 'wrong', and it is difficult to seperate them mentally. He is delivering hateful messages (legal), in a harrassing manner (illegal). One of them is a free speech issue, and one is not.
I may be misunderstanding the issue here. And also, IANAL.
