These losers showed up at the military funeral of a young Army soldier killed in Iraq a couple weeks ago in a town near me. The mother of the soldier asked the public to basically ignore them as her son had died so all Americans, even these misguided fools, could have freedom of speech, etc. Everyone respected the mother's wishes, only about 24 of the church members showed up and even the local media pretty much ignored them. They didn't get the press they were hoping for.

Perhaps the poor mother came up with the best approach. Ignore them and they'll go away. No press, no lawsuits against the townspeople, etc.

That classy mother showed extreme grace under pressure.
God also works in mighty mysterious ways, especially regarding forgiveness and vengeance.
IMHO.
