Be careful not to mix up the system and the people. The Constitution doesn't say we have freedom of speech "except when the government doesn't like it." The only people who don't like it are the ones expressing that they don't like it on this thread, and probably a lot of the people in the street with her that day. These people are not, however, trying to mount a campaign for a constitutional amendment to stop women from screaming in front of the WTC. They are merely expressing their disapproval of her actions. It seems as if you are just as guilty of making assumptions as the folks who are calling her a nutjob.
Furthermore, I take offense to your repeated use of sarcasm in this forum. Your point was made in the first sarcastic post, and repeating yourself with such a tone has done little to advance the discussion. I am referring to this
