Freedom of speech?

Fierce Friday hot topic: http://daily-journal.com/archives/dj/display.php?id=495309 Man,am I glad that we have a freedom of free speech! Seven years for staging an oppositional rally in a church? Seriously? I am all about being respectful of religion and I don't agree with things that some say about church and its leaders. However, I also don't agree with government saying that you are not free to have your own beliefs or that you are not allowed to express them in a way that is non-violent. It reminds me of my trip to the post office this week where there were posters of our current President with a Hitler mustache and directions to "pull over to impeach Obama". Not that I would pull over, but I also don't see a reason for these folks to be put in jail for expressing their opinion. Disrespectful? Maybe... Criminal? No If these ladies were to have hurt people in the process, then we would have to have words. I haven't yet heard that... Do you agree? Please feel free to share your thoughts! Maybe I am missing something...
