slacker Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Irregular News for 04.16.07 Baltimore, MD -- A federal judge in Baltimore is ordering Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church to pay more than $3,000 in costs related to the funeral of a Marine the group picketed. Albert Snyder of York, Pennsylvania, is suing because church members demonstrated at the funeral of his son, Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder. Church members also posted pictures of the protest on their Web site. Corporal Snyder was killed in Iraq in March. The lawsuit was filed in June. It says church members violated the family's right to privacy and defamed the Marine and his family at the funeral and on the church's Web site. Court documents say the church has 30 days to make the payment to Snyder. source Quote Link to comment

adc7236 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 As part of the Marine I&I staff in Colorado, we do funeral details on a frequent basis. These POS picketers are much more common then most realize. Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 That is friggin unbelievable! WTF? We should set up a neigborhood in a terrorist community and let them live there. They sure don't deserve the freedom our armed forces provide. Scumbags! Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh82 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I don't even want to waste my breath on people like that. As a soldier, it kills me to see them do that to people who have made the ultimate sacrifice. They deserve better and there needs to be laws made to stop sh_t like this from happening.
