We had to deal with them locally at the Memorial for the Sago Miners. On their signs, 'dead miners' was substituted for 'dead soldiers'. Just shows that their cause is not political or religious, just monetary.
IIRC, the military Honor Guards at soldiers' funerals are briefed on these vermin and their agenda beforehand.

<> Yes, and it's very, very hard for them even then. LCPL J has put himself between the family and the protesters at least once. This was in the days before the Patriot Riders got active. I'm so sorry that our local shame has gone national. My late husband once stood between the WBC and the KKK on the KS state house grounds. The police (KS Highway Patrol in this case) are tasked with the WBC protection, and the Phelps spit their vitrol even at them. My hubby said he felt like he'd taken a swim in a cess pool.
