'Bomb Making Next Driveway' posted next to mosque

AMHERST, N.Y. — Muslim leaders are upset that a homeowner who lives next door to a newly opened mosque has posted a sign on his front lawn that reads "Bomb Making Next Driveway."

Michael Heick lives along a heavily traveled road in Amherst, a Buffalo suburb. The next driveway on the same side of the road is the entrance to the Jaffarya Center.

Heick told local media outlets that he put up the sign last weekend because he was frustrated with how the mosque and town officials handled his complaints that the mosque was built too close to his property and that its bright lights violate town code.

"The place is too close. I don't care what people think. It doesn't matter what people think," he told the Buffalo News. "This is a way to get answers now. I get none from the town. The intent was to catch the eye of the people who I have a problem with."

that says RACIST BIGOT NEXT DOOR! but I imagine they are above such things.

That's proportional.

..."The real Domestic Terrorist and ASSHOLE lives here!"

Arrow pointing to his driveway.

The worst trash in the world is white trash.

then it doesn't matter what this asshole thinks either.

Aren't they freaking amazing? :sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

Is there a viable viable libel suit here?

Isn't a sign like that a political statement, and protected free speech?

Does it matter what state it's happening in? Does it matter that the sign is on someone's private property?

(Real questions. Interesting case. Any licensed or armchair lawyers out there?)

I'm certainly no lawyer, but he is accusing the mosque of being a place where bombs are made.

There are plenty of ways this guy could have made an extremely offensive sign that wouldn't accuse the mosque of being a place where bombs are made. He probably should have consulted with a lawyer first.

... and has the added advantage of exposing assholes to the world.

And it is a beautiful thing!

(The 1st amendment, not the exposed assholes.)
