[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1473462, member: 5151"] First, they aren't calling the people at funerals ****. They are protesting about public issues. They are using funerals as a platform to gain more publicity. So in the former case, the speech is public and not directed at any individual in particular. In the latter, where you picked the biggest, drunkest due in the bar, you picked an individual directly, and thus your speech is directed specifically at that individual. At that point, you can be sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Keep in mind if you ever try such a thing on me in a bar that I'll probably look for some way to screw you over more than my knuckles disfiguring your pretty face. [/QUOTE]
