The date for Sgt. Taylor's funeral is still fluid. However, I contacted the Opelika mayor's office and was informed that Phelps has requested and has been granted a permit for Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Thankfully, the permit will not allow Phelps and his sordid gang to come anywhere near the actual funeral.

Thanks to all FReepers for following up on this story. Special thanks to trussell, SandRat, and StarCMC among the many others who provided advice and assitance. Will keep you posted as things progress. In any case, I will be at the funeral and will also be protsting Phelps' outrage.

From what I have heard, the venue where he has been given permission to hold his little "rally" is a good distance from the place where the funeral will be held and should he decide to wander, he will be properly taken care of by the authorities. People in small towns don't worry so much about being PC as they do in the big towns, thank God. If Phelps breaks the rules, he won't get a free pass. They aren't afraid if his ilk. He breaks the rules, he pays the consequences. (And I'm not talking anything sinister - my guess is he'll go straight to jail for gathering without a permit.)

Here's hoping you get a REAL BIG counter protest to these nut jobs.
