Patrick, if you look at it realistically nothing illegal was actually done.

First, One of them was supposedly beat up in a store parking lot. This is the first time I have heard that and I am a Rankin county resident ( 1:14 in the video is where they pass my street.) and an EMT in the area. But, if it did happen, at most it was simple assault and didn't break up a legal registered assembly, so, won't be found in violation of the First Amendment.

Second, private citizens blocked their cars in a way that would never be proven to have been done to violate their rights. Remember, the tow company was to busy. Good luck proving they weren't or even finding the names of the truck owners. It COULD have happened accidentally. Reasonable Doubt is a powerful tool when used right.

Third, the reason the they were arrested was because they didn't realize they church where the service was is a 35,000 Sq.Ft. building on a 170 acre campus. My wife and kids go to church there. The area they had applied and been approved to protest was the closest intersection, the corner of Hwy 25 and Luckney Rd. This is private property at all four corners and the property owners had them removed.They got pissed, so they went to the cemetery where the burial was going to be about 10 miles away and were arrested for trespassing which is a completely legitimate charge. They were released without being charged a few hours later which is a completely reasonable and normal time frame for an OR (own recognizance) release. They could have been fined $5000 for assembling without a permit but they weren't.

There is no First Amendment case against anyone that would hold in court and I know a little about those, Google my name. I am normally an avid defender of the First Amendment and would have no problem with any other group assembling in my area for any other reason, even if I hate their message."
