Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

I keep waiting for that one funeral they protest in which the soldier / Marine's father drives to KS and finishes off every last one of them in their "church".

They're gonna fuck around with one of these grief stricken fathers that just doesn't care anymore.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

Makes you wonder if they could get away with temporary insanity. I know if that was my son I would see black...

Makes me mad and it's not even my son.

JRose, I've often wondered why it already hasn't happened.
IMHO, there's a whole block of real estate that needs to be renovated out there.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

I have been at a funeral where these jerks were present.
The term "turd in a punchbowl" seems appropriate. They do NOT belong at these solemn ceremonies.
They are disruptive, and rude, and actually harmful to the mourners who are attending.
Fathers? I feel worse for the poor Mothers who are burying their sons of daughters and for the spouses. But mostly for the Moms.


These people crush the spirits of these women.

They are in the same league and class as the terrorists in my book.
They should be arrested, and hauled away before the family arrives.
By citizens if need be.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

Jason- I have asked myself the same question, and the sad thing is the members of that church probably would love for someone to as they would become martyrs in their eyes. If someone does I can't say that I would blame them in the slightest. Its not up to me to forgive them though, that's God's, but I sure as hell wouldn't mind arranging the meeting.

I was born and raised in rural south Mississippi and my pawpaw had a word for people like that....Agitators.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

I keep wondering why some of these families don't have someone get a couple of court orders (1 requiring the police to keep those idiots a certain distance from the funeral, the other requiring that they not be allowed to use any sound amplifacation devices {bullhorns]) and when those fools show up just walk up and hand them to the police escort.

Of course if that lawsuit that is being reviewed by the Supreme Court comes out the way it should that "church" will be having to pay one father a rather large sum for "protesting/inciting a riot at his sons funeral.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

WBC basically trolls and baits people to attack them so they can sue and get money. The family that runs the circus are a bunch of lawyers. Taking them for anything more than a bunch of scammers is giving them too much credit.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

Agreed the 1st amendment should also have the same limitations that they put on the 2nd - they are WRONG.

Now that said, it's sad that a father had to bury a son - I've become kind of an anti-war because of the political lack of will to win these wars, not because of any other reason...

SO it's sad that he has to bury his son, it's even more sad that these jane fonda types are hanging around abusing the rights that veterans long ago earned them.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

IF the supreme court re-instates it, the church will be paying!

This father knows how to attack them...

We use the term "Church" real lightly here. If this clown is a preacher I'm a Huntsville Rocket Scientist. He's gonna have a hard time preach in hell.

This is correct. They are funded in part by dickweeds like soros and others of his ilk.
They are expected to get the rest of their money from cheesy law suits, filing/suing distraught parents and other PO'd people that lose control around them.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

The other reason there has been no "action" with the clowns, is the fact that military families have more class than to cause trouble.

Also I have read that the "church" purposely puts out women and children at the protests, so that if there was any violence, it would be against them, and not the "tough guys" that plan these things. Now that's real class
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

There has to be a day when all those people are in their church all at once. Just sayin, the sounds of doors being locked from outside, a little accelerant deployed, the flip of a Lucky Strike in the right place...
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

I hear about shit like this and i have to think: Are asswipes
like these Bonus Points in the game of life?????

I'm sure everybody could use a few extra points at the end of the game.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

I am not up for burning Churches or severe punishment. However I would really like to see a half dozen or so guys with a black hood like those thugs that go to the big economic meetings of the G8 just open up a big can of WHIP ASS on those idiots every time they show up at a funeral.

I really believe what they do is despicable. And they deserve a good ASS WHOOPIN for doing it. I know I would be one that would open it up on them. With no problem at all if I could. I have a hard time believing any cop would chase you too far to catch you for thumping their butts. The cops sure let those idiots at the G8 get away with it. Tom.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

Below is a link to an article exposing their leader, Fred Phelps. It's fairly lengthy, and includes interviews with some of his children who've escaped from the Westboro Church.

http://www.baptistwatch.org/fredphelps.html

(I'm linking this strictly as information on Fred Phelps, not to begin a religious discussion. Please remove if it crosses a line of decorum on SH).

One item of note: Phelps and all of his children are attorneys. It should make this fairly interesting at it approaches SCOTUS next year.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

Oh man, this is not good. When we in this small town honored our LCPL he was brought by motorcade from DFW. Flags lined the road all the way here. After the church service the two miles to the cemetery was lined standing room only. Texas Rangers(our Sheriff is a retired Ranger) manned the intersections. There was a lot of emotion, and The Sargent Major riding in the third car caught my eye and rendered a salute. I'm forever grateful that the asshats were a no show. Regards
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

From the Texas Penal Code:

(2) "Funeral service" means a ceremony, procession, or memorial service, including a wake or viewing, held in connection with the burial or cremation of the dead.

At least some states have addressed the issue.

There are exceptions to every rule and belief, at least for the most part.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

There is a sale on 2 3/4 tail stabilized bean bags at Cheaperthandirt.

Its sad that people have no respect for
a- the dead
b- the people who give them the freedom to act like bitches in our country.

Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

We had a local soldier here in VA. There was a rumor about these assclowns were gonna be at the funeral. But Virginia has a statute similar to Texas. Ya cant fuck with a grieving family at a funeral!!! There is at least one good thing of livin in VA. This "church" needs to go back where they came from and play with their damned snakes etc and be happy.
 
Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

It is plain BS that this could every happen in the first place. The law and courts don't seem to want to address or stand up for common sense or decency anymore. People will eventually have to take care of it themselves. The best solution I have seen so far for these loons is the Patriot Guard Riders.

Re: Slain Marines Father fights funeral protestors

If I hear the news about a local kid's military service here, I'll be there just for an oppurtunity to whoop some asses of these fucktards, and you bet I'll let everyone know before I go as to the wehre and whens
