Sure, the 1st amendment lets you express your opinion. But being a complete twit is both unwarranted and, really, says a lot more about you than anything else. This is a tragedy and the surviving family is not to blame, as far as we have any reason to believe.
I don't think the founding fathers of the USA were terribly concerned with some idiot's right to be an imbecile in public. They were a bit preoccupied with defending against oppressive governments and freedom of the press and freedom to discuss issues that impact that government.
Get a grip.
