This is really screwed up.

I knew about the protests but this is going to a new extreme. Fred Phelps needs to disappear

Nothing new, they've been doing this for years already. Idiots.

Sometimes I wonder what makes people tick that they would do that at of all things....a funeral. Shame really.

Verd###te Ar#######er.

This is sick.

No class, no style, no moral justification.

This is not making use of freedom of speech, this is abusing freedom of speech.

That the second court even reversed the initial sentence, is even more sick. It makes the victim the perpetrator.

Exactly!

So it's his fault that THEY showed up to HIS son's funeral and he has to pay for it?

They are charging for the legal fees incurred with the original case were the father won 5 million but was subsequently repealed. It will now go to the supreme court as the original overturned ruling used freedom of speech as the reason for overturning the ruling. I can understand that ruling. However, I can not understand using a funeral to get your message out.

Bill O'Reilly is going to pay it.

Still bloody wrong that it should come down to it this way though.
