They came to Elizabethton TN two years ago and tried to protest a soldier's funeral. The Peacemakers and Hells Angels escorted the family to the graveyard and none of the Westburo bastards opend their mouths

not sure if protesting or demonstrating would be the better word.
They "preach" the god hates fags, etc. stuff and that the reason our guys in uniform and dead is because that's God's revenge on the US for allowing gay rights, etc.
That's my understanding of it.

These idiots threatened to protest at the funeral of a fallen soldier from Berea during my freshman year of 06. Many of us created a wall to keep them away from the church. The family gave permission, thanked us, and the Patriot Guard riders rode their motorcycles around. THey were a no show.
