We heard that Phelps’ demon clan was to be at Arlington Cemetery on Sunday so we quickly amended our Saturday permit to include Sunday. Some of the Gathering of Eagles members who were in town Saturday to keep watch over our Military Memorials joined the DC Chapter.
We were pleasantly surprised to see some of Arlington’s Old Guard joining us. And they were pleased to see us. While the Old Guard could not hold any signs their presence was very noticeable and welcomed.
BELOW LEFT: Old Guard before Phelps showed up. BELOW LEFT: Photo Op. Concretebob is hiding but if you follow the U.S./Marine Corps flag pole down he’s the one in the olive drab tee shirt.
BELOW: Old Guard holding their own. Wouldn’t expect any less from them. The lady is an Eagle's wife, and Tolerance Sucks Rocks is also shown.
BELOW: Several of the Eagles helping to hold the MOAB. L-R: ?? , Toothless Dawg, and FReeper GunsAreOK. We added the extra foot supports to the MOAB to get it above the patriots in our “cage”. Since we were permitted this year, NPS put a cage around us.
PATRIOTS NOT SHOWN: Another Eagle, 3DJoy, ConcreteBob, Sensei Ern, [Mrs] T and myself. A second passerby also joined us.
And as we normally get when we do these Rallies, we had plenty of support from passerby and cars. There were several groups of school kids walking by who were vary supportive of us. And we received a lot of waves from the tour bus passengers and drivers.
BELOW: For some of those who don’t know the Phelps’ One-Branch-Family-Tree Demon Clan, here is their picture. They also spit on the flag and stood on it.
My understanding is that they raise funds by suing people who become "aggravated" over their antics and actions. Several of the family are, pardon the expression, Lawyers.
That is the word. Plus since the inbreds are all lawyers, I am sure they get paid for regular law work as well.
It was a lot of fun. Had I known there were so many soldiers, i would have brought some cigars.
Yep, and not too soon. Did you hear that a appeals judge awarded them $16,500 in the case of the fallen Marine's father that sued them. Usually the courts don't give the defendant any money, especially when the plaintiff wins the original case.
Only good thing is the Bill O'Reilly said he'll pay the $$$.
