While only a handful of the anticipated Westboro Baptist Church members actually appeared to protest near a local soldier’s funeral Friday, hundreds more showed up to show their support for the man’s family and denounce the protesters.

For hours, dozens of people with signs and American flags blanketed all four corners of the Bethel and Lund intersection, while hundreds more drove by honking and displaying flags on their vehicles. In contrast, the members of Westboro were reportedly there less than a half hour.

Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson said that only a handful of Westboro church members showed up, and they left very quickly. He described the group as only 4 to 5 women, along with a small child about five years old.

According to witnesses, the group held up signs such as “Pray for more dead kids” and dragged an American Flag and stepped on it.

Met two Patriot Guard riders (man & wife) a few weeks ago at a check out counter in a local store. They’d just left a burial service for a soldier from the community. No Westboro jerks had attended, but he’d run into them before.

We talked about the affect the lawsuit may have on the church. They said most of the assets were tied up in property. But I don’t see why that property can’t be force sold to honor the suit.

I commended them both for what they do.

Is lynching still legal in Washington? If so, they had more than enough loyal Americans in attendance to reduce the Nutboro Baptist Church’s congregation by 80%.

Our prayers should go out for the little 5 year old dragged halfway across the country in that carload of humorless banshees.

It’s interesting the way the MSM portrays people who own guns as “gun nuts” ... if Americans were truly gun nuts these people would have been taken out long ago ....
