Three of the members from the Westboro Baptist Church dared to enter Nevada today to picket at the funeral of one of our fallen soldiers. The family of Staff Sergeant Sean Gaul was holding an open memorial service for their fallen son today at 11:00am in Reno, NV. The three scum were met by over 200 Patriot Guard Riders and FReepers. They stayed for about 10 minutes and then fled to their car about 500 feet from their original site across the street from the Church, where the services were being held. None of the family or attendees was exposed to the scum. The PGR had them completely blocked off from the view from South Virginia Street. After they left they did a drive by shouting about 15 minutes later. This is the second time they have been met by the combined forces of FReeprs and PGR here in Northern Nevada. We hope they will not come back.
We then covered both sides of the road with about half of the good guys on one side half on the other.
Thanks to Washoe County Sheriff and Reno Police for their traffic control and presence.
Great Job my FRiend!
Rock ON, mad_as_he$$!!! God bless you. WBC is another multi-generational cult twisting scripture to justify their loathsome activities. They are known by their “fruits,” indeed.

Thanks to the PGR and Freepers for their service to protect this family.
Thank you PG and Freepers...you make us all very proud.
I want to thank the Freepers who were there to ward off the Westboro Nuts, from the family of the fallen soldier... Thank you.
God bless all of you for your ACTION today. God bless and keep the family of this courageous hero.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank God for the FReepers and patriots! You done us proud.
Awesome!
Where do these morons get their funding to wander the country pulling this crap..over the past 4 years, this adds up to a multi-million dollar campaign. I’ll bet Soro is behind it.
You guys have no idea how much this stuff means to us in uniform. Trust me, everyone in the military is thankful that there are still people who have our backs on the homefront.
Thanks for telling this inspirational story.
Gee, I didn’t know Don Imus was a member of the Westboro Baptist Church.

So, these guys are against homosexuals. Me, too.
I remember when they used to picket funerals of noted sodomites. I kind of understood that. Wouldn’t do it myself, but I can understand them voicing their views that way. Matthew Shepard certainly shouldn’t be lionized as some hero.
But why are they picketing military funerals? I know, I know, they’re loons - but they’re loons with a specific agenda. What do fallen soldiers have to do with their anti-homosexual agenda?

Thank you. I cannot say how much I admire your restraint in not getting violent with this subhuman scum.
Yeah, and from what I’ve heard about Phelps, half those kids are running around going “Uncle Daddy!”
