"funeral scene" - odd choice of words

As the prophet Micah said: “And what does G-d require of you? To do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your G-d.” – Micah 6:8.

I wonder why the reporter hyphenated "God"...?

This is what the Westboro crowd hopes for. Now they will file a civil rights lawsuit to collect the statutory attorney fees. That’s how they fund their escapades.

Can’t tell from the article why they were lead away, but if you take away free speech from the worst among us, then we aren’t far behind. How soon before “standard” (can’t think of a good word) Christians get “lead away”?

One counter-protester held a signs saying, "I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals flaming."

Okay. I admit it. I laughed when I read that...

Plenty of zip codes for these bastards to protest in.

Frankly, the sooner they wake up inside of a chalk outline, the better off we all are...

He's Jewish. It's done as a sign of respect.

Police took a report at the Islamic Center after someone slashed the tires on Westboro members' SUV. It was unclear who might have done it.

Must be defective tires. Heh heh...

I don’t know any Christians who think funerals are public forums.

These “people” are an affront to all that’s good and decent, and they use the name of God to push their agenda. The following scripture was most likely never preached in their church.

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35

Graveyards are typically private property. They have no “right” to protest in them. Free speech doesn't apply - trespassing is the problem here.

Something’s really wrong about those Westboro Baptist folks. It’s like they’re filthy...or somethin’...

These anti-Christian idiots should not get police escorts.
