Yeah - that is a prime example of what NOT to do - I believe if MLK had been allowed to continue leading the civil rights movement, we'd be in a far far better situation today.
It is an excellent example of what not to do, but isn't it also an example of free speech?

Of course - I didn't say it shouldn't be ALLOWED but it should have been roundly REJECTED by others voicing THEIR freedom of speech.
The ACLU used to defend these kinds of demonstrations - perhaps they did so here - they even allowed the NAZIs to organized a march in some Indiana city back in the day.
I am offended by both examples of ill-founded freed speech freedoms, but I think the direct HONORING of the ASSASSINATION of a civil rights leader is a more direct jab in the eye of respectable people. The NAZI march was a gaggle of idiotic low intellect misfits who wanted to show their asses for the entertainment of a crowd. The JER celebration was fomented by some sort of official declaration. Disgusting.
