It also sounds like the biker groups, which have protested Phelps at military funerals will be there as well.

One wrong step and it's going to be a very bad situation for everyone.

I just hope I'm in the US when the elder Phelps dies. I may just show up for the hell of it.

They do. The Supreme Court said they do. I like that they do, as a firm believer in the Bill of Rights.

That said, I'm thinking there will be about 100 others for every 1 of them counter-protesting. If anyone here is going, please remember not to do violence against them, just exercise your First Amendment rights against the bastards... as loud and frequently as possible .

There will be 100 journalists for every Westboro protester. They'll be hard to find in that sea of microphones and cameras.

10. I have a theory. "God" let this happen because Westboro baptist church keeps picketing in his name.

And as long as Westboro baptist church keeps picketing funerals, "god" will keep killing.
