Has exercise of our 1st Amendment rights come to this?

Here is a woman who is exercising her 1st Amendment right but, because she does not agree with these people, she is a prime target for verbal & physical assault.

Even if you disagree with her message, how can anybody justify assaulting a 69-year-old woman? Has it come to the point that she has no right to exercise the same freedoms that she, the militant protesters & we, are guaranteed through the U.S. Constitution?

Update:

Ducky, I would also point out that the pro-life rescue civil rights movement of the late 80s and early to mid 90s had more arrests than the 1960s black civil rights movement and never had anyone convicted of a violent crime.

    This is actually a tricky one to answer! Not tricky in the sense that her first amendment rights were violated, tricky in the sense the America was founded on Christian beliefs. The laws and rights we have were made with God in mind. The first paragraph in the Bill of rights is proof!

    Those who took part in that demonstration are as far from God as they could get yet it's God that gave them the right! And yet they believe it's man who gave them those right. The rights God inspired!

    There's no question that when some one is verbally and physically assaulted, in this case a 69 yr old Lady, things are starting to unravel!

    I wish I had the kind of strength she has!

    More and more I have been seeing a total disregard for the Constitution! Basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution are being rewritten/reinterpreted!

    It is this veterans belief that America has died and a country that we tried hard not to become, we're becoming!

    Amazon has the right to record any e book on any topic they prefer. The inventory is in accordance with no matter if the commonly used public has an activity on one of those topic. If no man or woman buys it, then that's eliminated. If the e book bothers you fantastic, more effective ability to you. you do not might want to purchase the e book. yet please do no longer impose your perspectives on to the buying public. What you're advocating is a few distance worse than some obscure e book on dogs battling. Did you study the e book? did you understand what it contains? What the message is? you're being way too "moral" right here, i do not bear in mind all people putting you in a position to be the e book police. get over it!!! If the problem quite bothers you that a lot then commence operating at an animal take care of etc. i'm effective that e book has been in circulate for quite sometime and also you lived only fantastic no longer understanding about its exsistance. end being so judgmental and oppressive on your perspectives. you'd be a lot more effective off.

    You must think on this - It takes quite a lot of organization to put on a rally or street demonstration, coordination, printing signs, speakers, bullhorns, etc.

    It takes a Community Organizer (Obama type) to get and stir up Street Activists.

    We all will see a lot more of this Hatred from the Left that want to recreate the Russian Revolution in our streets.

    Obama and Acorn used these techniques to FORCE Banks to make Sub-Prime Mortgages - which is bringing down the US economy.

    You can only exercise your first amendment rights if you are not white, male, or Christian. Sounds jaded I know, but the truth is more and more morality is going to the dark side and the dark side is coming to light. What makes me even more sad is people are cheering it along under "human rights" and other lofty banners so that people will feel guilty about denying them the right to their depravity.

    of course NOT

    it doesn't matter what your age is or what your beliefs are.

    everyone deserves their 1st amendment rights

    many in this country (both Liberal and Conservative) have been the target of verbal and physical abuse because of their beliefs.

    But never has that meant that the 1st Amendment wasn't on their side.

    for example the Civil Rights movement in the 60's

    many blacks suffered - but in the end they got their rights

    For some people, yes, that is what it has come down to.

    The homosexuals are screaming about the violation of a right ( which is not a right at all) but they have no problem about the violating the actual rights of others.
