Its rumored the Patriot Guard will be attending the service after the news of WBC's planned protest.

I hope they do attend. They do good work. Yesterday (Thursday), they attended services for Henry Weikel - the WWI soldier whose remains were recently identified.

Thanks for the info, blue.

Glad the Patriot Guard will be there.

I saw this story on the WBC's planned protest...wish there was a national mental health act that allowed the whole lot to be rounded up and held for a 30 day assessment, and kept AWAY from each other.

I am a pacifist and believe in free speach but I REALLY want a baseball bat and have at these idiots!

Reportedly only 5 from Westboro showed up. They had obtained a permit, and were told they could protest in a spot 2 blocks from the church.

They were vastly outnumbered by another group - protesting them. I read that the Westboro 5 left the area by 1230.

I can't believe that what that goof ball group does is not concidered "hate speech" by the powers that be and banned like other hate speech is.

Yes, there was just a report on the local news about Elizabeth's funeral today. Those "Christian" dirtbags showed up but were VASTLY outnumbered by counter-protesters and supporters! Hooray for REAL Christians and other good people!

Can't wait to see the national news coverage. (I only get "antenna" TV stations so I can't see the all-news ones or issue-oriented ones.)

MOFF, your point on hate speech is absolutely right, and I don't know why these alleged "people" aren't subject to repercussions thereto.
