Religious or not these people are on a whole different level. I am a Christian and what these WBC people are doing is despicable and absolutely NOT what we are called to be. My heart goes out to the family of this soldier and thanks to you for standing up to these awful people!

My husband's buddy was KIA last year and Westboro sent a flyer to protest. The Patriot Riders came to the funeral to counter-protest.
It's ridiculous. I just keep hoping that they'll go away on their own...crazy *kitten*.0 -
There is nothing remotely religious and/or Christian about the Westboro Baptist Church.0

Well, I just hope more and more human walls pop up. It will make them in-effective.0

You people don't understand the WBC..they want this kind of publicity. Read up on them sometime. The extended family are the only church members. They do these protests so they can sue local municipalities for violating their rights. This is the only way they support the cause. The only way to get rid of them is to ignore them.0

Last time there were scheduled to show up at a funeral in my area, there were so many anti-Westboro rallys planned that they decided not to even come, so hopefully that will happen in your case as well.0 -
I am happy we have freedom of speech. I just wish we had less idiots around.0

Yes, Im not advocating revoking freedom of speech... I just wish that these nasties didnt have an avenue to vocalize their stupidity!0

When a family member of the WBC dies, we should all go protest their funeral.0

These inbred hicks were out of their league when it came to trying to match wits with a bunch of nerds.0 -
Some people are dilholes, I like my right to be able to say that.0

Most of the Patriot Riders are former Marines, including a couple of military war dogs who ride in sidecars with their handlers. They do a silent Flag escort for the family. I hope they'll be able to show up in force tomorrow in Columbia.0

While it's true that WBC desires the publicity and is only about 50 people, most members of the Phelps family, the human walls serve the direct purpose of preventing them access to the family. I don't care about the publicity so much as I care about their pain.0

There were lots of Patriot guard members there when they transported his body from the airport to the funeral home, Im certain they will be there tomorrow for his funeral.0

Dont be such haters folks..
I dont buy into anything they say but, these people are americans too, they have a constitutional right to their ideals, beliefs and the constitutional right to speak it. And the soldiers that died, gave their lives so they can maintain that right ironic as it is. And if you dont like it, take a month long vacation to Saudia Arabia, or Kuwait, try afganistan if you like. Let me know then how much you hate free speech...
And yes, I am a Patriot Guard Rider... retired military.0 -
I can not stand the way that horrible hate group uses the word "baptist" in their name. I am a baptist.. they are crazy, terrible, hurtful cult that I wouldn't mind never hearing about again!
They make me so angry!0 -
