Due to work obligations, I was not able to stop and participate. However, I was able to drive by.
God Bless the Union Colony Fire Department, who parked a ladder engine RIGHT IN FRONT of the protesters, and, raised the ladder a bit, obscuring the protesters.
And, across the street, in front of the church, not a semi truck, but a Prevost custom coach parked to obstruct their view as well.
Add in about 50+ flag-wavers, 20+ Harleys ("Peace through superior horsepower") revving their engines, and no one knew the protesters were ever there. I estimate a maximum of one dozen protesters showed up.
I HAVE PICTURES - but don't have a way to post - someone please send me a private message with an email address, and I'll be glad to send photos.
Heavy police presence EVERYWHERE.
"You're Going to Hell" (nice...at a funeral...)
"America is Evil"
"Don't Worship the Dead"
"Thank God for I.E.D.'s"
That and two other signs I can't decipher in my pictures.
God did perform some sort of miracle today as well - two of them....first, as far as I know, no violence.
Second, about two miles away was the Weld County Veteran's Day Memorial (I was there for a time as well - nice turnout) - two CO ANG F-16's did a flyby, and, also happened to fly over the Mormon Church as well - perhaps just coincidence, but, a nice added touch.
I have a site that can host the picutres. Sending you a Freepmail with my email address.
