BALTIMORE, Oct. 25 —
I think I am a reasonable person, and I am offended by this clowns. They do not represent Christ in any way shame or form that I know of. They have picketed the church that I go to because we have a ministry that reaches out to homosexuals that want to leave that lifestyle. All they want is a audience to play to. It is sad that they do what they do and inflict pain. I do not expect a court case to stop them, but maybe enough legal action will stop them. Maybe
Before the March 2006 funeral for Lance Cpl.
Matthew A. Snyder, a marine who was killed in Iraq, protesters from the
Westboro Baptist Church, a tiny fundamentalist splinter group, picketed
the service with signs that read “God Hates You” and “Thank God for
Dead Soldiers.”
Albert Snyder, Corporal Snyder’s father, sued the church in
United States District Court here, claiming invasion of privacy and
intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Judge Richard D. Bennett, who is hearing the case, told the nine jurors
that there are limits on free speech protection, listing categories
that include vulgar, offensive and shocking statements, and instructed
jurors to decide “whether the defendant’s actions would be
highly offensive to a reasonable person, whether they were extreme and
outrageous, and whether these actions were so offensive and shocking as
to not be entitled to First Amendment protection,” according to
The A.P.
