Shielding Mourning Families from Protestors

Have you read or seen on the news any of the protests done by Westboro Baptist Church? I can not believe this web site! It is horrific for me to read. They protest at the funerals of our fallen soldiers. If I was burying my child (husband, etc.) and protesters this hateful showed up at the funeral with their nasty picket signs and agenda, god help THEM because I would lose it. They were scheduled to picket at another soldier's funeral today.

They have the freedom to hold their protests, as hateful as they are, because American soldier's fought and died for them to do so. I don't think that registers in their small-minded brains.

There is a group who tries to shield mourning families from such hate at the funerals of our fallen soldiers. This group is the Patriot Guard Riders. They want our soldiers and their families to have respect and they show it to them by attending the funerals and doing their best to peacefully shield them from the hateful fanatics.

You know, you don't have to believe in the war. A lot of people don't. Even people who supported it in the beginning have changed their views. However, to show such horrific disrespect and fanatical hate to families in mourning, at a time when these families are burying their own, screams of MENTAL CASE to me!!
