Oh, now they care. Now that is more than just a military person’s funeral, they will try and stop them. I can’t even begin to put into words how angry this makes me.
I have to wonder why gay rights groups don’t counter protest when these freaks are out there. Perhaps because it isn’t seen as a problem when someone from the armed forces is the target.
Calm down. There's no reason to believe that this kid wasn't PO'd at Phelps long ago -- he started picketing funerals of homosexuals first, then moved on to soldiers when he wasn't getting enough outrage and media attention, and now his strategy is apparently to picket any funeral where cameras will be.
Curtis Dahn is a 20-something kid with little or no influence outside of his campus. He could have been perfectly livid at Phelps' other protests, but the papers weren't calling him for comment.
