Re: 11 million dollar verdict against Fred Phelps
[ QUOTE ]
Im not sure about the legal aspect of this, but couldnt it be possible for the government (or whoever deals with this) to put up a "no-protesting-area" inside a 1000 feet radius of the church for a few hours while the funeral is going on? Or are anyone allowed to have an organized protest wherever whenever they feel like? I think there should be a way to keep those [censored] out of the way during the funeral, and if they feel it is important to protest they can do that somewhere away from the place where the funeral is taking place [/ QUOTE ] Congress passed a law dealing with Federal funerals recently, and many states have similar laws. I know in Washington State, any protestor must stay at least 500 feet from the funeral.

Re: 11 million dollar verdict against Fred Phelps
My thoughts are only with the family of this courageous marine, who, although severely discriminated by a lot of his own society still did his/her job regardless of the lack of moral clout of his/her commander-in-chief.
The morans protesting at his/her funeral are the types of morans that makes me ashamed of my country being an ally of the USA. My deepest respect to the marine!

Why do they have to "lose radio contact" then? edited to add: Isn't "to protect and serve" like the motto of police officers?

Obviously, they couldn't see it if they were across the street at the coffee shop, leaving one officer on watch who lost radio contact, and was unable to find a tactical solution to the altercation, so he had to "run" across the street to get the other officers to back him up, at which point the fight had dispersed.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't get it, are you saying marines are discriminated against in the USA? Or are you saying that he was black? Or that he was gay? (If the latter, you should know that these people protest any military funeral, and site the reason of death as the USA being supportive of homosexuals...I don't think this marine was actually a homosexual)

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, that tiny group that almost everyone in the US hates certainly make US a bad ally. And the thousands of pedhophiles in australia is obviously representative for that nation, so its a shame that any nation is willing to have reltions with Australia. Scumbags are found everywhere, and if you feel that a tiny group that is hated within the US represents the nation then you are just retarded.
