With obvious exceptions such as known/admitted terrorists, Adolf Hitler, and anyone in Westboro Baptist Church.

 

Well, maybe not the first two, but WBC does have a song.

Make no mistake, Hitler would've gotten his time in court, and would've been summarily executed at the Nuremburg trials (It's not like there wasn't mountains of evidence incriminating him).   I'm also not entirely certain who had ultimate authority at the Nuremburg trials, so I'm really not sure how that system was carried out (I don't know how other countries judicial systems differ from the US), but, given many of his top commanders were executed (unless they had scientific value, in which case...ugh, Operation Paperclip), I have no doubts Hitler would've received death.  Likewise with terrorists (again, evidence)

Now, as vile as they are, the Westboro Baptists have yet to actually do anything other than be awful people (as far as I'm aware).  As disgusting and heartless as I think they are, picketing a funeral isn't a crime.  And while we all despise what they have to say, that's the double edged sword of free speech.  With the good, also comes the bad. 

 

Like Osama, right? No, the guys who would have hypothetically caught Hitler would have likely killed him on sight. He wouldn't have made it. As for terrorists, if that were true we wouldn't have had G-bay.

And actually, picketing funerals IS a crime in many parts of the US and UK now due ENTIRELY to WBC. Even the KKK has disassociated themselves from WBC. They're too hateful for the KKK.
