Freedom To Be Stupid

A family in Madison, New Jersey recently put up a hung figure on a noose for Halloween, and because it was dark-colored, it looked for all the world like a lynched black man, and they somehow, rather stupidly, figured that black people in town wouldn't be offended by what what looked a charred corpse swinging from a noose. They thankfully took it down. Said homeowner Cheryl Maines, whose son was responsible for the decoration, "It's no more like freedom of speech anymore."
They should deny the right to speak to people so dumb, they not only offend others inadvertently, they can't even speak in coherent sentences!
