TRENTON, N.J. — An animal-rights group and six members were convicted Thursday of using their Web site to incite threats, harassment and vandalism against a company that tests drugs and household products on animals.

The group, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, maintained its actions were protected under the First Amendment.

Kudos to the jury and the Feds. This is one mean bunch of slime balls. Now let's hope the little boys who were convicted get to share cells with the likes of Weird Harold.

"But he also said it is all right to throw rocks through someone’s window as long as the person isn’t home."

What a creep. Let's hope now the jury gives them the 7 years and full fines.

Amen to that..I hope these arrogant scumbags share jail cells with the likes of Big Bubba Mankill..maybe they can convince them to protect their first amendment rights..

Now I hope the Feds go after this group:
"Casa de Maryland, a taxpayer funded group that assists illegal immigrants, has made a public threat to the children of the grassroots Minuteman Civil Defense Corps that have made headlines since last fall monitoring day labor centers in the Washington DC area. "

Not likely under the current administration however, since Bush approves of the illegal invasion. Kind of a double standard, IMHO.

"Big Bubba Mankill" gets to exercise his 54th amendment right on their little behinds, while they exercise as much free speech as they like.

Unfortunately, the tactics used here are the same as a local anti-abortion group uses. They even protested outside of the funeral home of a person who gave money to a pro-abortion group during the wake. I know that there is a difference between human life and animal life, but I don't think vandalizing a persons home, scaring their children, or any of the other things they have done are right.

So you advocate the killing of inocent unborn children? Seems like picketing is trivial compared to murdering A CHILD.

[jim_trent]

So you advocate breaking the law and harming people as long as you believe in what you are doing?

Former voice of Lucy from "Peanuts" specials, voice of Fern in "Charlotte's Web" and animal rights wacko.

Any law that prohibits picketing is no law at all, according to Marbury v. Madison.

The only harm that has come to people during any pro-life demonstration has come from the pro-death gang.
