Westboro Church gets FReeped and Guarded out of Reno

Three of the members from the “Westboro Baptist Church” dared to enter Nevada today to picket at the funeral of one of our fallen soldiers. The family of Staff Sergeant Sean Gaul was holding an open memorial service for their fallen son today at 11:00am in Reno, NV. The three scum were met by over 200 Patriot Guard Riders and FReepers. They stayed for about 10 minutes and then fled to their car about 500 feet from their original site across the street from the Church, where the services were being held. None of the family or attendees was exposed to the scum. The PGR had them completely blocked off from the view from South Virginia Street. After they left they did a drive by shouting about 15 minutes later. This is the second time they have been met by the combined forces of FReeprs and PGR here in Northern Nevada. We hope they will not come back.

We then covered both sides of the road with about half of the good guys on one side half on the other.

Thanks to Washoe County Sheriff and Reno Police for their traffic control and presence.

God Bless the Patriot Guard and those Freepers!

The three scum were met by over 200 Patriot Guard Riders and FReepers.

I love you guys. I mean that with all my heart.

[stentorian conservative]

God Bless each and every one of you! Thank You!

[Fudd Fan]

Sweet.

May God rest the soul of Staff Sergeant Sean Gaul and bless and comfort his family.

PGR and FReepers — you guys are awesome.

[Hildy]

This “church” has said it wanted to boycott Heath Ledger’s funeral and the noise from the left was deafening. If only they felt as deep about the men who die for their freedom to be gay men as they did about an actor who played a gay man, maybe things would change in this country.

guess that showed the scum they weren't welcome.

[Tolkien]

Brings tears to my eyes. Really!

[lainie]

Thank goodness those freaks are getting run out of town. And by the good guys — even better. The left complains about the Phelps weirdos, but does so from a distance. Good for you. And thank you.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Good job. Those people (its really just one family its not a real church) are literally low life filth. The most hideous criminals have more honor than these people.

Excellent FReeping!

[GBA]

Excellent! God bless each and every one of you for keeping that evil away.

[Tax-chick]

Praise the Lord! Y’all are the Right People!

[mad_as_he$$]

It was our pleasure and duty. We were honored to be there and in this time of great concern about many things it was nice to find 200 FRiends on a Saturday morning gathered in one place!

[mad_as_he$$]

In the first picture you can see them packing it up. They are putting their signs in the trunk of the silver car under the speed limit sign.

[donnab]

God bless each and everyone of you. Thank you so very much.
Awesome job.

[CDB]

G*d bless everyone involved! The three slimeballs are a truly disgusting example of pure evil—or pure stupidity. The devil’s dirtbags.

[Monkey Face]

It’s good to know folks in my home town have the courage and patriotism to gaurd and protect our fallen heroes.

Awesome people!

[sageb1]

Just awesome! God bless all of you guys!

[DoughtyOne]

[trisham]

Well done!

[mad_as_he$$]

We stand on the bridge......

Our great pleasure and honor.

[mrsmel]

God Bless his family and loved ones. God Bless y’all for for protecting their right to mourn and honor their loved one.

And God Bless y’all for doing what the left only talks about, and laying to rest the obvious lie in which the left tries to affiliate the Right with this perverted hatred. Things like this kick the rickety stool upon which they stand right out from under them.

[forward]

Thank you!!

[Monkey Face]

Good job!

I keep all of you in my prayers. Thank you for all you’ve done, all you do, and all you have yet to accomplish!

I have a yellow ribbon on my door that will not come down as long as one service member is away from home.

[Eagles6]

Good job!

[CaliGirlGodHelpMe]

You have all earned the title “hero”. Thank you for protecting the family of the fallen serviceman from those maniacal twerps.

[mad_as_he$$]

BTW there was a counter protest by several kids of 8 - 14 year old variety. They held signs saying “God is love” and similar ones. This was a very well behaved crowd.

[Humidston]

Count me in. I couldn’t have said it better.

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks! Bttt

[MinuteGal]

I teared up, too, looking at the photos and all those flags....and it's cold but the good guys didn't care.... my heroes......oh, boy, one more Kleenex.......

Westboro keeps turning up like a bad penny.These “people” are(imo)certifiable nutcases.They had threatened to show up at a military funeral here in Pinellas Park,FL.The church was packed inside w/about a dozen or so of us waiting outside.Westboro was a no-show.

[FredHead47]

Thank you!

[rottndog]

Excellent!

[MaryFromMichigan]

Well, God bless you all!
You do us proud!

[monkeyshine]

Anyone who would assault the emotions of a grieving family is a slimeball. I’m happy that there were people who could shield the family from those scumbags but it shouldn’t be necessary.

They should be sued for emotional distress. 1) that will keep them in court and in meetings with lawyers, instead of at funerals 2) it will pile on legal bills and 3) a judgement against them will keep them, and others like them, away in the future.

[bamahead]

Excellent work soldier!

[4integrity]

Thank you and God bless you all!

[Nevadan]

It is so wonderful to read of an example where these truly evil and reprehensible people who masquerade as a church have not have a successful day of protesting our good and honorable fallen soldiers. God bless you for your service today!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Maybe they'll learn one day.

I got an email last night, but didn’t want to risk the ride because of the snow....

Now I wish I had gone! I’d crawl through broken glass to meet these idiots face to face.

A job well done.
