Those that were there tried to come out to help, but there is a limit to how many could be there. Also, the road was totally cleared for the President's arrival.
You folks done good!!!!!!!!
I was ready to shove my speakers down Phelps throat when I was listening to him on a Delaware radio station a few days before his bozos showed up there to protest at a funeral, on a Sunday no less. He was trying to paint him and his "followers" as the victims of hate crimes and having their 1st Amendment rights violated.
They did NOT show up for the planned, and permitted protest on that Wednesday.
Folks in these parts don't take kindly to those types. Obviously Phelps' phools figured that out.
