Police in Nebraska arrested a man for allegedly macing demonstrators outside the funeral of a U.S. Marine on Saturday. The incident happened just before 10 a.m. about a block away from First United Methodist Church during funeral services for Staff Sgt. Michael Bock. Bock, 26, was killed in Afghanistan's Helmand province on August 13. Officers says the suspect drove by in a pickup truck and sprayed mace at protesters and counter-protesters. The protesters were members of a small Kansas congregation -- Westboro Baptist Church -- that often demonstrates at military funerals.

I agree.
Hats off and a big “Thank you!” to the guy who sprayed those idiots with mace.
I don’t agree with the arrest.
They’re lucky they only got sprayed with pepper spray. Someone should have thrown a couple of skunks at them.
Seems to me he was only reacting to fighting words. I vote “no bill.”
Have you ever noticed how closely those Westboro folks resemble pond scum?
Why would you want to insult pond scum like that.??
But that will only encourage a martyr complex.
Good those heretics richly deserved that.
Pepper spray isn’t much compared to what these little idiot progressives are capable of and have done. Slashing tires, malatovs, rock throwing. Bravo for the sprayer! Long live the sprayer!
Taser would’ve been much more fun!
Yep. I’m with you. Wonder how the individual cops felt about it...shows how highly placed the string pullers of WBC are.
A “Martyr complex” is only useful if there is someone to admire the martyr. Otherwise they’re just dead idiots in history.

I guess I do owe the pond scum an appology.... :)
Ive often wondered how the fighting words laws in every state don’t apply here. If celebrating a soldiers death in front of the grieving family isn’t fighting words,,, then what is?
Also, im utterly amazed that some bereaved, distraught, family member who feels they have lost everything, hasn’t shot them or drove a powerstroke ford through them at highway speed.
If they ever do, i hope im on the jury. I’ve always wanted to be a lone holdout.
Get a Jury trial. He will walk!
They hide behind their women and children, using our honor as a weapon against us.
The ideal situation would be a group of women and children counter protesters who were there to whip some ass.
Looks like our little homo-hating friends again. Why couldn’t that guy have used a nail gun?
