Father Of Dead Marine Ordered To Pay Legal Fees Of Westobro Baptist Church Protesters


Am I the only one that finds this bullshit totally unacceptable ? The court system and the government are completely out of control. They would have to throw my ass in jail because I wouldn't voluntarily give their asses a penny.

[Buttercup]

That is a disgrace.

[lewisipso]

Not a penny. I would invite all military personnel to have their funeral here and burial at their final resting place. I would freely post security and make room at the jail.

Those miserable MFers at that "church" continually test my belief in the First Amendment....I hope SCOTUS finds that the rights of the people in mourning trumps the 1A hate speech of those morons.

If the whole lot of that "church" got lost in a swamp, never to be seen again, I would take up a donation... of pepto bismal to give to the poor gators.

They won't find that way. They cant.

This is a situation that cannot be legislated - it has to be met by people unwilling to put up with it.

unfortunately, you're right. I love the Constitution and have taken a vow to always uphold it, but sometimes it sucks!

I'd find it tough to bother anyone who beat the snot out of the fuckers though.

I'd find it tough to refrain from helping beat the snot out of the fuckers.

These protesters are just poor excuse for human beings, hypocritical in their belief of god. Should send their unpatriotic hating arses out of here, let them go to a third world country, where they will have plenty to protest about.

Bill O'Reilly has stated that he will pay the fees if the Supreme Court does not overturn this decision.

Outstanding!

I normally think of O'Reilly as being as bad as Michael Moore, but WTG for him offering to step up for the dad in this case!

I saw this article this morning on Fox News and had to post it on my site. So ridiculous, I literally get sick to my stomach just reading this story. It's amazing that our men and women have fought in wars for hundreds of years so these pukes have the right to disgrace our soldiers/marines and there families. I guess this is why we call this the "Land of the Free". Can't say I wouldn't give up a little bit of freedom for some good old "Wild West" rules every now and then. Haaa

[TXCharlie]

I love those motorbike dudes that go around all over the country (Patriot Guard Riders), drowning the Westboro freaks' chants out with their engines, and almost "accidentally" running them down when they get too close to the funeral.

Even the Westboro freaks aren't dumb enough to step in front of a 800-lb Harley-Davidson with a pissed-off Vietnam Vet driving
