    I was just using them as an example. I'm not referring to them directly. I'm just talking about things that I find offensive or controversial in general.

    Pretty sure we gathered that.

    Hey, I happen to find it distasteful when people post hypothetical questions on a legal forum which have no basis in reality and effectively interfere with the help needed by those in real life situations.

    If you get my point.

    I just think that for the betterment of society and stopping things that are immoral I'm doing a pretty good deed.

    Personally, I find the notion of trampling all over the First Amendment is immoral. So.

    Yes, that's what Timothy McVeigh said, too.

    Timothy McVeigh is too much of an extreme example. I'm talking more about in the vein of Al Sharpton or Michael Moore.

    They have high priced attorneys. If you are set on a path of sticking your nose into places where it isn't going to be appreciated, then you need to similary get yourself one or more attorneys prepared to defend your actions, and stop with the pointless "what ifs". When you actually do something stupid and overstep your bounds and actually GET arrested, THEN come back and we'll be happy to evaluate the situation based on ACTUAL events. Until then, this line of questioning is really pointless.

    Your thread title made me LOL. To answer your question, yes, you can force people to stop doing things you don't like. Be prepared for the consequences of trampling on someone's unalienable rights, however. I guess you never do or say anything that others might find offensive or undesirable? Tolerance is a virtue.

    I find many things "immoral" that are perfectly legal. So, whose definition of "immoral" would you suggest we use to decide what should be permitted and what should not?

    If you feel that something is wrong, you can agitate (peacefully and lawfully) against it. But, no law gives you or anyone the right to shut a speech or an event down simply because you disagree.

    Oh, much of the time I'd like to stop them, too!

    Oh ... uh ... or are you saying that their activities are what you'd like to emulate?

    Tell us again why you believe someone should cater to your whims?

    Be careful how you answer this...
