Making what ought to be legal legal won't stop OR. (Yes, it's still *one of* the right things to do, but...)

What needs doing is counterterror. When Fred Phelps makes it known he's gonna protest a funeral, organized, peaceful motorcycle people step in and shield the families from the idiots. (I forget the exact name of the group, but they're out there.) The protest is rendered totally ineffective. We need the same kind of thing for these pinheads. When they do stuff? Render it moot.

Don't get me wrong; I don't advocate countering violence with violence unless no other option is viable. I would definitely advocate AGAINST the death penalty for the guy who shot Tiller, and I'm normally a hang-em-high kind of guy. (No martyrs here!) Just step in, get in front of them, and get between their toughs and the general public. Blot their message from the face of the earth. And if they *then* initiate violence? Well, as David Sheridan said, never start a fight, but ALWAYS finish it. No killing... but it's perfectly ok, once the battle is joined, to make them wish they weren't born. Words chosen very carefully.
