Funeral protesters sued

Father of dead marine sues funeral protesters

The father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by anti-gay protesters from a fundamentalist Kansas church filed an invasion-of- privacy suit against the demonstrators Monday.
--

"We think it's a case we can win because anyone's funeral is private," Snyder lawyer Sean Summers said. "You don't have a right to interrupt someone's private funeral."

As good as the Patriot Guard Riders are and they are very good, lawyers can hit them where it hurts and make them pay.

Protesters from the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church have gone around the nation disrupting military funerals even the soldier they called "Pipes." yelling "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "Fag body bags" and "Thank God for IEDs."

They believe that the military deaths in Iraq are God's punishment for America's tolerance of gays.
