How could they have been provocateurs, if the people at the funeral were not even aware of their presence, until they saw them on TV later that evening?

I I belive Salamander is referring to the group generally. And I agree, I think they are phony, aka agent provacteurs

Thank you for the clarification on my behalf...:)

They mainly aim for media attention, rather than actually harassing the people at the funerals.

A lot of people here seem to think WBC is right there at the doors of the church, harassing the people as they walk in, when in fact they are usually blocks away, out of earshot of the mourners.
