Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, KS has stated its intention of staging a “protest” at the funeral of LT XXXXXX on Friday in XXXXXXX.
This small group of individuals has recently been picketing at military funerals around the country in order to call attention to their anti-gay agenda.
From various reports, we understand the group members are well-versed in their Constitutional right to gather and protest, and are reportedly equally well-versed in techniques designed to provoke physical reactions against them. From reports we have received, the group will not engage anyone physically, but through the use of graphic slogans, signs, and verbal harassment will attempt to provoke a response, which will then be videotaped for use in legal action against the individuals involved. This group reportedly funds its activities through a combination of donations from its members as well as from financial settlements won in lawsuits.
And we thought Sheehan was BAD.
Zombie, I think you know who's funeral this is. Please use restraint on these jerks, if you attend.
