Throwing rocks?
Blocking traffic?
Disturbing the peace?
Harassment?
Banging on the home?
Assault?
Regardless of how I feel about the case, these people have a right to be secure on their property and in their home.
The "protestors" are out of line on this one.
I agree with you. I would never do it, and certainly the people out there look like a bunch of thugs.
Heard on Fox news this morning that a judge denied a request to remove these people on those grounds, however if any of them engage in these things mentioned in your post they can be arrested.
This case really is a shame. I doubt the little girl will ever be found.
By the way, I read a book some years back by Gavin DeBecker, in it he was saying that the worse thing people can do is engage people like this, it is probably the natural thing to do, but it just feeds them.
