That would be a real shame. I would waste a lot of tears over it. :D

PFC Tyler MacKenzie 101 Airborne, will be buried tomorrow. A great kid and a hero by all definitions.

As stated weeks back I have had the misfortune to meet members of WESTBOROUGH (intentionally mispelled) Church. They have applied for- and received- a permit to protest our hometown heroes funeral.

There will be a large contingent of police officers honored to be paying respects to Tyler.... and loath to be insuring the safety of the demons from Kansas!

RIP Tyler!

Why not just throw the grizzly bear at them? How could they have the moral indecency to protest their opinions at that time? I guess they never thought of the grieving mother. People like that will never know what the term "Sacrifice" means. What a bunch of dickheads. :mad:

Protest
 

About two months ago we lost a young man, killed by an IED. That group was in town to protest at the cemetery. The local police department set their SWAT trucks and other equipment strategically to block the protestors view of the funeral. And the grieving family was not distracted by the protestors so they could take care of the task at hand. Burying their son.

This makes me incredibly angry.

Mr. Harsey, you are very kind for only thinking pepper-spray. I'm thinking about something much worse.

I volunteer for infiltration duty. I mean really. Who would suspect a small and meek red-head who is kind of quiet and not too smart.

Where would you find this person?

I do not believe that you match any of those adjectives other than possibly small and red-headed.

Only writing pepper spray. I was thinking of other things.

There are some sick, sick people in this world... as far as I'm concerned those people are not Americans.

Not so Christian like
 

This 'group' of people using the term Christian as their cover will have repercussions on both the left and the right side fortunately.
Now unfortunately, these are just the type of individuals the heavy hitters(read Ilsamic fundamentalist) would love to recruit. Think the happenings most recently seen in Jordan can't/won't happen here?????? One of these 'Christians' undoubtly has it in him/her. No conspiracy theories here, just never say never. Somebody hopefully is keeping a profiling eye on their hides.

Sir Reaper - Well, that is the art of the grey man strategy, nest pas?

An accomplished singer can sing out of tune. But a person who cannot sing well at all, can't sing *in* tune.

So it goes, a stupid person can't "pretend" to be smart (politicians aside).

But the other way around works quite well.

The soft spots here seem to be the following: This man (Phelps) was disbarred from the legal realm in 1979 (I believe... I'm pulling this from memory of earlier today) for lack of ethics. (woah! what a surprise). So he's not beyond the criminal element. His "church" (gag) was registered in 196? as a non-profit religious organization. Between those two things, I am sure there is plenty to take him down, if someone could get "in" and get the information. An independent audit could be key. An extensive background check might help.

Best case scenario would be finding him dead in a bathroom with a syringe full of herion and a gay lover. That would kill any "martyr" syndrome that might could follow. It's much more subtle than a "God blessed IED", and leaves no room for him to be cast as a hero.

Feel free to kill this post if it seems in bad taste. I'm just REALLY REALLY angry right now (which doesn't happen often) and that tends to make my bad side come out.

Mr. Harsey, I know you were thinking other than saying. However, I'm a no one with nothing at stake.... that gives me a certain amount of wondeful liberation on the matter.

I seriously doubt that!

Just knowing that you can recognize EVIL says alot and says enough. No need for action against these people. Their miserable existence is testimony to the tortured and depressing house they live in. They make us miserable for a few moments at a time of vulnerability. But they live with their warped and demonic selves with no end in sight. And their misery exponentially increases with each evil deed.

I agree. BUT. We must not ignore..... Adolph.... or Saddam... their misery may have increased exponentially as well... but so did their power. When is it time to "stop" someone?

CoLawman, when do you draw that line? I have no idea. I am asking out of ignorance and outrage....and a little bit of a broken heart. And a LOT of a really PO'd heart.

CoLawman,

I respect your opinion, but at times like these I remember what Heinlein said: "A well armed society is a polite society."

I doubt you'd see any of this crap if the law allowed for action based on offenses like this. It's just one more example of the 1st Amendment becoming more important than the others.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: "Some people are alive, only because it's against the law to kill them." And that's a damned shame.

TANSTAAFL :D

You have found the weakness, and pointed out that my previous post was but a postulate. It is something I believe!

Maybe people like them are put on this earth to draw people of different pursuasions, political leanings and religions together. People such as the Phelps are so evil and so out of touch with reality that the bullseye becomes magnified. Whereas with out them....we are left to aim at moving targets.

You draw the line by adhering to laws. Saddam, Hitler, and Pol Pot were criminals committing crimes. The Phelps commit no crime...........unless some law enforcement officer becomes creative............but even then it is a misdemeanor.

Maintain the moral high ground ............and practice good mental health by venting and fantasizing about would do's and wish I could's!

While I am lecturing (apologies to the QP's and I know I am a guest) these are not Christians. They are self ordained Ministers with no ties to any organized religion. In my mind they are in the same category as a Jim Jones or a David Koresh. Which makes them a cult.
