Westboro Baptist Church members are PATHETIC SCUM, who go to FUNERALS to further their jerk-off political agendas! Instead of protesting in front of city hall, state and federal congress offices, and colleges and universities, they pick funerals! Probably fear members of the college's football teams would beat the Holy Hell out of demonic pricks like you!
If this OFFENDS you, write to the courts, congress, and tell them that FUNERALS ARE *NOT* APPROPRIATE FOR POLITICAL AGENDAS! Support Albert Snyder for Matthew Snyder's death!
"But in this case, Breyer said, it would be wrong to "punish Westboro for seeking to communicate its views on matters of public concern.""
Fucking hell...I mean...okay, let's take to the streets and picket black people and Muslims etc. ...it's all the same - all hate; all pointless.

I live in South Central Pennsylvania. There was a fire in Perry County and 7 children burned to death. I was sickened to see on the news today that the Westboro Bapist Church is coming here to protest the funeral of the 7 children. Enough is enough. Someone ought to shoot one of them cock suckers, make an example out of them and then burn their F*****G church down!!!

Agree.

what they do isn't an exercise in free speech. it is personal harassment of individuals plain and simple, and that is (should be) illegal.
they are using the machinations of free speech and public protest not to accomplish the goals of free speech and public protest, but to attack individuals.
I say if you find a technical way to legally do something which has the same exact results and purpose as other activities which are explicitly illegal, then what you are doing should still be considered illegal.
The damned judges and lawyers in this country (USA) are too dumb to think that practically about anything.

Too warped by their homophobia and racism (towards other religions) I'd say.
Now I don't claim to be an expert of the Bill of Rights, but is it just me that is thinking that using this level of force to tell someone what they believe is wrong...is unconstitutional (therefore illegal in the classic sense)?
They're using free speech to dampen OTHERS freedom to choose what they want to believe...

Many things have a time and place but a funeral is not the place for this sort of thing.
