They could be worse. Protesting a soldiers funeral, in my opinion, should allow anyone to beat your ass.

Are people forgetting that the first amendment protects their protests, no matter how offensive it may be? I don't agree with offensive things like that, but the day we allow people to be beat up by whatever we deem "offensive" is the day the first amendment goes out the window.

Yes, but the law is being upheld, and not even considered for change, purely because it is in The Constitution. The freedom of speech, to an unlimited degree, is not necessarily a good thing - however restricting extremist views would require the removal of the First Amendment, which is, of course, not going to happen.

Freedom of speech isn't unlimited. Threatening people is illegal, for example. And government can place restrictions on the time and place of certain types of speech. Protesting on the highway during rush hour wouldn't be tolerated, for example.
