Dead marine's family ordered to pay funeral protestors  Reply with quote  

This is seriously some fucked up shit right here.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/30/westboro.baptist.snyder/index.html

Snyder's family sued the church and went to trial in 2007 alleging privacy invasion, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy. A jury awarded the family $2.9 million in compensatory damages plus $8 million in punitive damages, which were reduced to $5 million.

Westboro in 2008 appealed the case to the 4th District, which reversed the judgments a year later, siding with the church's claims that its First Amendment rights had been violated.
...
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ordered that Snyder pay more than $16,000 in costs requested by Westboro for copies of motions, briefs and appendices, according to court documents.
...
Margie Phelps, the daughter of Fred Phelps and the attorney representing the church in its appeals, also said the money that the church receives from Snyder will be used to finance demonstrations. But she also said that the order was a consequence of his decision to sue the church over the demonstration.

The Phelps live for court. The dad played the WBC's game and lost.

Bunch of IRL trolls is what they are.

I read today that Bill O'Reilly was going to pay the bill. I don't care for him, but he gets total respect for doing so.

Fred Phelps funeral is gonna be awesome. I hope there are half naked gaybears in chaps EVERYWHERE.

wow....that just pisses me off so much....just wow....I mean I realize people have the right to free speech and all but at funerals? Must they torment the families of the honored fallen like that....I mean is it really necessary. Are you that desperate to have your message heard that you stoop to that level. And the judge who ruled in favor of such lunacy should be ashamed.....

I've seen one of these protests. It occurred in Kingston, Ok, and they policy and OHP were ordered to escort the shitbags around for their protection. I felt so bad for the family as well as for the policy/ohp. They didn't want to protect those scumbags at all.

The police have no obligation to protect anyone. Why do they get protection?

I have been to a funeral for a neighbors son where these assholes showed up. It was all my wife could do to keep me in the car on the way in. I was ready to show them who the real FAGS were, with a little....no a LOT of blood shed involved on their part.

F&^K THEM. Set foot on any property I own and see if you live.

If they won a suit against me, I would conveniently NOT PAY even if it meant jail time, because any nation that allows assholes to spit on their soldiers graves and talk shit on them is fundamentally screwed up itself, and I refuse to acknowledge their right to order me to pay a cent to these punks.

This is somewhat accurate. According to some court rulings. law enforcement is effectively only obligated to protect society and not necessarily individuals. I'm pretty sure they only protect these guys because they will get bombarded with endless lawsuits (frivolous or not) if they don't.

The police protect them because otherwise they would be dealt with by normal Americans....and somehow I see more justice in that.....
