Krivosha, C. J.,
concurring in the result.
The majority opinion in the instant case finds as support for its holding the decision of New York v. Ferber, 458 U.S. 747, 102 S. Ct. 3348, 73 L. Ed. 2d 1113 (1982). I, too, find comfort in Ferber. I write separately, however, because my comfort comes in the concurrence filed by Justice Stevens, in which he points out that while the specific conduct that gave rise to the criminal prosecution is not protected by the federal Constitution, the state statute that Burke is charged with violating does prohibit some conduct that is protected by the first amendment. Little purpose would be served for me to plagiarize the concurrence of Justice Stevens. Suffice it then to say that I adopt the views expressed by Justice Stevens in his concurrence in New York v. Ferber, as though it had direct *637application to the facts in this case. The facts in Ferber are almost identical with the facts herein, and Justice Stevens’ concurrence in Ferber could be filed herein and it would make perfectly good sense. As did Justice Stevens in Ferber, I will await the appropriate case to concern myself about what aspects of the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 28-1463.01 through 28-1463.05 (Reissue 1985) violate. What is clear is that in the instant case there was no first amendment violation.
