Bikers Roll to Soldier Funerals To Drown Out Protesters

[Abbey Normal]

Trapped on this for eternity?

[The ClayTaurus]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

The thought of that man on that ride for eternity warms my little heart. It's perfect.

 

[Hobbit]

Maybe we'll share a cell, and I know an attorney that'll spring us.

I know a federal judge....

 

[Mr. P]

I know a federal judge....

I'm married to one (judge)..we got er made.

 

[007]

Where are the damn police? They should get rid of this vermin. Since when is it legal to picket and protest at someone's private FUNERAL?

Here's the law. Standing there solemly doing their duty to protect this stinking scum...

 

[007]

These people are insane. Who protests at a funeral? And even though their hearts seem to be in the right place, who wants a bunch of motorcycle revving at their loved one's funeral? Motorcycles are incredibly loud--so loud that you can't even hear yourself think. Who wants that?

You simple minded ignoramice.

GO STAND WITH THE MORONS WITH YOUR SIGN....

JEzzzzuzz CHRIST!

Phelps defends funeral protests
By Scott Rothschild (Contact)

Thursday, February 2, 2006


Topeka — War widow Brandy Sacco wept and Patriot Guard Riders grimaced in disgust as the Rev. Fred Phelps told lawmakers Wednesday that he had a constitutional right to picket funerals of soldiers, carrying signs that say “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” and “Thank God for IEDs.”

“States can’t decide which religious message is right,” Phelps said.

Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka have made headlines picketing funerals of soldiers nationwide. Phelps said the soldiers were being killed because God was angry at the United States’ tolerance of homosexuality.

Kansas and other states, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and West Virginia, are pursuing laws to keep demonstrators farther away from funerals because of Phelps’ actions.

Sacco’s husband, Sgt. Dominic Sacco, 32, was killed in Iraq in November. At his funeral in Topeka, Phelps and his followers demonstrated.

Phelps said the families of fallen soldiers had given up their rights to privacy because military personnel use the funerals to promote their policies, and politicians show up to get votes.

Brandy Sacco, a war widow, right, is comforted by supporters during the testimony of the Rev. Fred Phelps, left, Wednesday in Topeka. Phelps defended his right to picket the funeral of Brandy Sacco’s husband, Sgt. Dominic Sacco.
“These funerals have turned into public platforms,” he said.

But others testified that the families should be allowed to mourn in private, away from Phelps and his placards.

“To me, they are nothing short of pornography,” Brandy Sacco said of the signs.

Rep. Lee Tafanelli, R-Ozawkie, who recently returned from a year in Iraq where he commanded a Kansas National Guard battalion that had two soldiers killed, testified in support of the bill.

“This bill gives a family the right to some privacy during their darkest hour, to grieve, honor and pay their respects to their loved on. This is a right they have earned and that they deserve,” he said.

He said freedom of speech doesn’t allow people to “interfere, denigrate or harass families at funerals.”


On the street: Should Congress vote to restrict picketing at funerals?
Five states may ban funeral protests (01-30-06)
Bill aims to provide distance between protesters, funerals (01-24-06)
Anti-gay protesters question funeral law (12-25-05)
New city law bans protests at funerals (12-20-05)
Phelps also demonstrated in October in Tonganoxie at the funeral of Lucas Frantz, a 22-year-old Army specialist killed in Iraq.

But community members installed a 10-foot high banner blocking the view of the memorial site from the demonstrators.

On Wednesday, Phelps told the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee that it would be illegal to adopt a law that restricted his free speech.

“We can’t be lawfully moved out of sight of our target audience,” he said.

Richard Strothman, of Wichita, head of the Patriot Guard Riders, motorcyclists and military veterans who have traveled across the country to counter Phelps’ presence at military funerals, also supported the bill.

Of Phelps, he said, “All I see that they are spreading is hate and harassment.”

The bill would make it illegal to picket or have a protest march within 300 feet of any entrance to where a funeral service is being conducted. The restriction would apply one hour before to two hours after the service.

Rep. Kenny Wilk, R-Lansing, urged the committee to make the restrictive distance farther. “If we can make it five miles, let’s do it,” he said.

The committee took no action on the bill but is expected to work on it later.

For the life of me... I don't why this kind of SHIT is allowed to take place in America.

Resist. There mission is to get everyone to hate everyone. Don't let them spread their vitriolic bullshit.

My fave pics from that site are the ones where they showed up and strung a tarp in front of the protestors. Brilliant and blatant, without being violent.

 

[Semper Fi]

I used to live in Fort Campbell, moved from their to Alaska. The 101st Airborne (which my dad used to be a part of) is the division which replaced my daddies so they could come home. Thank God for their sacrfice.

That being said, Thank God for the righteousness of the Patriot Guard, and spit on those who protest at the funerals. Those people have 0 sense of social code, protesting at a funeral? What the hell could they be thinking? They deserve to be publicly hated. Spit and piss on them.

You fall into their game if you spit and piss on them. Do as the guard does: show up en masse and obstruct anyone's view. Render them obsolete through passive counterprotest. They want you to hit them, they want you to spit on them. It makes them believe they must be right, because people are reacting so strongly they must be hitting a nerve.

Gotcha. I usually turn a cheek to this kinda thing, because I consider myself at a higher level then them (which in itself insults them), but this one I dunno. Personal thing I guess. Lucky for me they dont have to deal with me. :firing:

Trust me, it's a personal thing with me too, but you need to make sure that they don't sneakily use that to advance their own agenda. They won't get even a moral victory because of me; nothing but complete defeat.

The KKK set up a rally in Toledo specifically designed to piss off a bunch of black people, and when they rioted like idiots in response (as the KKK wanted), look at who was made to look the fool - not the KKK.

I can see a slight semblance of the KKK and these moron's clay. But damn it... sometimes a good ass kicking is just what the doctor ordered.

I agree with both you and Clay, but we can't go both ways.
So, how about alittle covert obstuction instead. Everyone should have a niffty valve stem wrench, and doesn't the banana in the tail pipe work? Delay, delay, delay! If they never arrive at the intended site, problem solved.

I like it. I'll do it. Except I think a potato up the tail pipe works about the best...

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Ah yes, covert transportation disabling. Excellent idea.


Actually, the best idea I heard for a prank is to find some roadkill still in decent shape, tie a really stereotypical-looking dogleash around it, and then attach it to the vehicle, sliding it underneath so they can't see it. Then they're driving down the street with what looks like a small dead dog with the leash still on stuck in the car.

So sixtees et al...the old potato(e) up the exhaust pipe trick...ahh brings back found memories! Hit em in the old tail pipe was my motto...when I was so young and innocent...he he he!

Limburger cheese on the manifold was always a nice touch, but now ya can’t get to the hood release.

Here's a REAL good one! Pull the coil wire about 1/2" out of the distributor (it's not noticable), that sucker will NEVER start, until someone pushes it back in, and it takes hours (sometimes) to finally figure it out and check all wires. So they have to tow it to the repair shop!

Again, we must get under the hood.
