LAW: It is illegal to stage a protest at someone's funeral.

COUNTRY: USA / STATE: Kansas / CITY: Overland Park

I have a funny feeling that Fred Phelps is the reason for this law. He has a tendency to picket the funerals of homosexuals and AIDS victims. His most notable picketing was of Matthew Shepard's funeral.

I remember that, didn't even know that Fred Phelps was still alive.

I had much the same thought as well.

And now onto a law that at one time was on the books in the great state of Kansas. While in a class in college on criminal law the instructor handed out a mimieographed(sp) copy of an assortment of laws such as above. The one that I still recall some 30 years later went some thing like this.

"When two trains come to a crossing, both shall stop and neither shall start untill the other has gone"
Shoot for all I know it could still be on the books.
