Protesting military funerals

What's your opinion on this? I'd like to see some vigilantes just roll up and spray these people with bullets, but our government shouldn't do shit about it. There's a case that the Supreme court has before it (Snyder v Phelps). Check out the link below. I guess the ruling wont be done until spring 2011. Lets hope they get it right this time, unlike the campaign finance ruling they made last January. See here

I think the military is disgusting, but I think these people are even more disgusting.
Although I think that war is never the answer, these people aren't the ones suggesting we go to war.

I doubt any of them were alive during the late 30's early 40s - when hitler was trying to take over the world. War is the only answer sometimes. but not in the last 70 years.

I have several friend that are in iraq right now. None of them believe in the war there but they have no choice but to be there. So what these people are doing is disgusting .. We dont have to support our idiot govts ideas but dont wish violence on the soldiers..

Christianity has spilled more blood than anyone. They have no logical reason to protest.
Perhaps they feel guilty for what their religion has done, but acting out like idiots is only going to bring more pain for themselves and others.
Typical American Christians if you ask me

yeah, you've got to be a certain kind of crazy to hold up a sign that reads "Thank God for dead soldiers."

You know what's sad is that Phelps will very likely win that case. His freedom of expression is very firmly indoctrinated in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. Although it's highly offensive and divisive to the wellbeing of America, his right to be that big of a cunt is inarguably protected.

yes, which makes me wonder why the supreme court would even hear the case. seems pretty black and white to me. phelps winning that case is exactly what should happen. i dont think that's a sad thing. i think the sad thing is that this case went up to the supreme court. its just not the precedent we need to set.

ya, we should have just pushed love energy over to axis powers in the 40s. We'd have it made now, if we had done that.

Honestly it may have no reached the court via appeals. My guess would be the Court requested the case via writs of certiorari specifically because they feels there's a precedent that needs to be set here. I feel like nowadays this is a pretty common issue and they may have accepted this as a landmark case specifically to help quell the onslaught of lawsuits

They are the lowest form of scum on the planet in my opinion.
Sometimes I wish that I lived near a place where people were doing this. I would see it as fair game to go fuck with them in a very unfriendly way

they protested in my town, but they were surrounded by a wall of cops so thick you'd be crazy to attempt anything violent.
Which is really too bad, we need someone to wave hello to them with a couple Molotov's and a minigun

Quote:
In March 2006, seven Westboro members picketed the Maryland funeral of Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder, who died when his humvee crashed in Iraq. The Westboro protesters flew more than 1,000 miles so they could hold signs with messages like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers," "You're Going to Hell" and "Thank God for IEDs." Matthew's father Albert Snyder, citing the physical and mental trauma that resulted from being confronted by the group at his only son's funeral, filed a lawsuit against Westboro. A jury found the church liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and civil conspiracy, and awarded Albert $10.9 million in damages (which the trial judge later reduced to $5 million). The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, however, reversed the verdict, ruling that the First Amendment protected Westboro's speech.
