The hell it won't. This jack ass has a right to free speech, but it's more than reasonable to expect him to pay the bill for the security when he creates an international incident.
Just like you get charged for an ambulance ride.
Well, first, the church never did burn the Koran. And second, no, it is not like an ambulance ride. IMO, you cannot chill free speech in this way, Geauxtohell. If it were, mebbe we could finally rid ourselves of those asswipes from the Westborto Baptist Church...but the POV you are taking would limit freedom to speech to those who could pay.
I cannot find a Supreme Court decision on-point (there may be one; I feel lazy) but I'll fall down in a faint if this is found to be constitutional.
This was a deliberately inciteful act by this "minister" that endangered the whole community.
I think it will be interested to see if it sticks, but I hope it does.
Lucky for the rest of the country, and you, it is already dead.
