Westboro vs Ms

[gemini]

If this is posted somewhere else..... whatever.
I saw this posted on a biker forum and liked it. So, I cut & paste here simply because it gave me a grin.

"Last Saturday USMC Sgt. Jason Rodgers was buried in Brandon, MS after suffering fatal wounds while serving in Afghanistan. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church (out of Kansas) made the trip to MS to disrupt the service as they often attempt to do (I know all our PG Riders are very familiar with this group). On the morning of Sgt. Rogers Funeral service members of the Church awoke in a local Hotel to find that area residents had parked their vehicles behind all cars in the parking lot that had a Kansas tag. Local police were called but wreckers could not be located until later in the day(after the funeral service) to tow the vehicles away. Sgt Rogers was buried in peace and dignity."

Of course all of the wrecker drivers were either out of service or already hooked up on other calls.

...I got that in an email...haven't searched the article out...said that one of them talked big at a gas station and got the attitude beaten out of him...cops interviewed several witnesses who saw nothing...said that several who did make it to the cemetary were taken into custody for investigation of various crimes...and all found not involved and released much later in the day...

...this sounds like America in the 50s and 60s...sounds great to this old man...but maybe it's too great...may be a wish story...

What a great story. Maybe some other towns will pick up on the idea. I still can't believe that the Supreme Court saw this as a free speech issue rather than an intrusion of privacy issue.
