It's About Time Someone Sued This Lunatic Bunch

It's really too bad that this creepy bunch of anti-human cretins continue to disrupt grieving families when they are at their weakest, but it's good that one father is standing up to them. I can't think of anything more apt to intentionally inflict emotional distress on others than someone saying that it's great that your loved one died.Let's hope that this suit helps to stop the hatred being portrayed by this useless bunch of losers.

Funeral Picketers Sued By Marine's Dad, Lawsuit Claims Anti-Gay Church Furthers Grief For Families Of Dead - CBS News:


On Friday, July 7, Army 1st Lieutenant Forrest P. Ewens was buried at a respectful ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery, which many consider to be the most hallowed ground in the United States.

But the peace was disrupted by protests from members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. In a cordoned-off area by the entrance to the cemetery, they carried signs with anti-gay and anti-American slogans and proclaimed that Ewens' death in Afghanistan on June 16 was another sign of God's impeding doom on the nation.

Westboro has taken what it calls "love crusades" to military funerals across the country. The church was not protesting at the funeral because Ewens was gay, but because he died, in their view, serving a country that has incurred the wrath of God by accepting and tolerating homosexuality.

I'm right there with you on this one!

That bunch of inbred idiots came to Mobile, AL to protest once and it was my most sincere pleasure to get in their faces. It's amazing how fast they can fold when they see that the guy in their face really would love to pound them flat. ;-)
