As the U.S. mourns the victims of the Tucson shooting, there is one group who doesn’t share the sadness.

Members of the now infamous Westboro Baptist Church released their plans to protest the funerals of the six people who died during the attack.

The certified hate group has become infamous for their anti-gay rhetoric and protests of funerals for soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

They’ve found reason in this tragedy to spread their hate but Arizona lawmakers are determined to stop them.

Following the group’s announcement, the Arizona state legislature are crafting a way to limit the group’s access to the funerals.

In recent years, the church’s right to free speech has been both challenged and supported.  These questions are likely to rise again with the recent turn of events.
