This is how the US should deal with Westboro

Now I know you chaps all like to enjoy your free speech, but I see nothing wrong with drawing a line.

Sometimes, somethings should not be said.

You all have the right to say whatever you want. But cross this line and you are going to jail.

The UK gets a lot of stuff wrong, but we would never stand for the nonsense you get from Westboro.



A married couple have been jailed for posting videos on YouTube glorifying Fusilier Lee Rigby's murder.

Royal Barnes, 23, of Hackney, east London, recorded and uploaded three videos shortly after the murder in Woolwich, south-east London, last May.

In one of the videos, he hailed the murder as a "brilliant day".

At the Old Bailey, the Muslim couple were both jailed - Barnes for five years and four months, while Rebekah Dawson, 22, was sentenced to 20 months.

'Offensive in the extreme'
Barnes had already pleaded guilty to three counts of disseminating a terrorist publication and one of inciting murder, while Dawson, who had insisted on wearing a veil in court, had previously admitted disseminating a terrorist publication.

Judge Brian Barker QC told them the videos they made were "offensive in the extreme".

He said the couple showed "a total and continuing disregard" for how their actions might affect the family of the soldier, the people who witnessed his murder and the British public.
