The kind Rev. apparently threatened to do the same thing at a soldier's funeral in southern Illinois last week. He FAXed the local media of his intent. His group apparently didn't show up. If that is true, then maybe the 80 or so bikers who belonged to the same motorcyle club as the deceased soldier scared him off.

Additionally, the report on the funeral the next day out of Cape Girardeau indicated that folks lined the Interstate and highways when the body was brought home, and again during the funeral procession. The Rev's plans certainly backfired. I have a feeling that he just sends FAXes around to get everyone upset. I am sure if he starts showing up his face will get rearranged by some locals.

He's a coward!! Don't give him the satisfaction of worrying about him. That's what he wants. Instead, send the word out to the community to gather on the highways with their flags and put their hands over their hearts during the processions to honor the soldier and his family. Good luck!

That's a wonderful idea (if he were to show up).

Isn't that the truth? I can think of about 5 guys who will definitely be at John's funeral, and they most definitely would not have a problem rearranging someone's face!

That's where I heard about this nutjob -- glad he and his ilk didn't show...maybe he'll stay away again this weekend.

I don't like to wish violence on anyone, but this so-called preacher needs a good whupping.
