Sicko/Whacko ping!! I’m happy to know that Nebraska doesn’t put up with these people.

Give me a break. As disgusting as these people are, arresting them for something like this just gives them more publicity. It’s obviously their first amendment right to trample on the flag, just as it would be to burn it. It’s non-violent (albeit reprehensible) hate speech that should be protected by the Constitution.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. We’ll see if this gets overturned upon appeal. Until then, she was arrested and faces penalties according to the Laws of Nebraska. IMHO these people should all be arrested (but that’s just MHO).

I doubt if this sticks. Practically the whole Phelps clan are lawyers looking to sue if their rights are violated. I am sorry to say this but they are good at suing. The will appeal if they lose locally.

“...but says she didn’t break any laws and claims that the Nebraska state law should have been repealed years ago.”

Sort of like the bankrobber here in Seattle area: “I didn’t rob the bank, and if I did it was in protest to the war.”

According to the Beatrice Daily Sun in Beatrice, Nebraska, Shirley Phelps-Roper was arrested on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, after allowing her 10 year old son Jonah to stomp on US Flag. Phelps-Roper does not deny this, readily admitting that she allowed her son to stand on the flag. Bellvue, Nebraska police Captain Herb Evers said that a Nebraska state statute enacted in 1977, makes it illegal for a person to trample the flag.

I don't appreciate the Phelps wackos, and find their message reprehensible - but trampling a flag shouldn't be illegal. It's political expression.

Just ignore the Westboro folks, and they'll slink away. They thrive on stuff like this.
