This video absolutely digusted me..its soo sad that those children are brainwashed by their ignorant parents..The Phelps' are so set in their ways and soo stubborn that they wont change their mind about being soo upfront and rude with the things they are saying.. They definetely should pay the 11 million and shut their mouths because anyone that has the nerve to sit in front of a funeral and say " thank god he is dead"..are clearly not of god...hypocrites...<br /><br />Danielle Barros<br />Sloan p.4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-84566929753593178922010-12-13T21:07:35.414-08:002010-12-13T21:07:35.414-08:00I believe that they do have a right to protest a w...I believe that they do have a right to protest a war and the men and women that die for them, but what they do is too far.

I went to the San Diego Comic Con this past summer, and they were there protesting it all four days. They did not step onto the premises, but they did make it so that if you wanted to cross the street to get to the shuttle busses or hit the local subway, you had to press through them. Mostly they accused us of "Worshipping false idols". In all honesty, though you only really needed to listen to the advice of "When people go fishing, don't bite" and they wouldn't really bother you all that much.<br /><br />While I disagree with their message and feel that their way of getting it out there is totally counter-productive, they have the right to say whatever they want. Making laws against them will one day block us into a corner when someone is trying to get attention for a real issue in our society. <br /><br />We are lucky to have the Patriot Guard Members to protect the grieving families from the protesters and let them have their funerals in peace. Sure, it'd be nice if they did not have to gather to form that barrier, but I'm just saying that for all the displays of hatred, a greater force of love and compassion will break it down.Sasha Schotzko-Harishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180748865532639698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-49831424127279474482010-10-18T07:39:21.267-07:002010-10-18T07:39:21.267-07:00this church is definitely crossing the line. they ...this church is definitely crossing the line. they are giving religion a bad face. respect, in this case, should come before these people's personal belief.<br />whether or not these people chose to believe what they believe, and even say it for that matter, is rightfully protected, but just like nathalie said, there is a time and a place for everything. and that time and place is not during a funeral!jakehohshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247621576519983342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-3620791368030831202010-10-17T19:48:42.505-07:002010-10-17T19:48:42.505-07:00They should not have the right to do this in a fun...They should not have the right to do this in a funeral because its disrespect.
