Oh those Burros.

Among other things suggesting that God is mad at a people group that has about as little to do with the problem being protested as anything.

Are these funerals public or private events?

Excellent question.

It depends: If in a public space (ie municipally owned cemetery) it is public; if in a mortuary or privately owned cemetery definitely private.

The grey area involves houses of worship (privately owned but considered "public buildings" for some zoning/taxation/codes purposes); irrespective the sidewalks and streets surrounding are definitely public.

The First Amendment can be very messy.

There needs to be a group that follows the WBC website and routinely alerts local activists to show up, surround and shield from view, the serious ass-kicking they receive.

I’m sure they wouldn’t be disturbed by local LEOs (standing back-to)

They need to be driving home bleeding, with splints, heads bandaged, and with no hint of who to sue.

So, perhaps maybe a hundred or so protestors continually outside Westboro ‘s maven like “occupy whatever” would be okay too. Free speech and assembly and all.... Maybe throw in a dozen Harley’s and a bunch of rock music and perhaps a handful of port-a-potties.....

Only problem would be finding folks who could take lots of time off from work etc- yeah, the rest of us actually produce value, rather than simply consuming others’ labor.

The Patriot Guard Riders have been protecting families from the Westboros for the past 12 years, and performing many other kindnesses for the troops and their families.

I’m fully aware of the PGR and it’s mission.

However, I’m advocating for somebody a little less kind. I’m pretty sure the PGR would never interfere to protect the WBC from a well-deserved ass-kicking, unless it was a rogue PGR member.

I figured the post funeral line to urinate on her grave would be too long.

When someone is having a private funeral, I would also include the funeral route and the land abutting the procession during the duration thereof. It is common decency.

Maybe they don’t because they hate God?
