1. Why do the police protect these people?
I'm all for the Westboro "church" having the right to speak, but if someone who is offended decides to do something about it, oh well.

3. well, they are exercising their 1st amendment
right to speak.

That it is disgusting, homophobic hate speech expressed by scum of the earth is irrelevant.

9. That is the sucky part
But if we are to adhere to the first ammendment, all speach, including insane hate speach, are entitled to speak. Even if it goes against everything you believe it. However I think these crazy MFer's should have respect for the mourning loves ones. Oh well here we are in America.

11. As much as what they do disgusts me, that's the real issue.
I'm forced to support their version of exercising their first amendment rights.

2. Any clue where this took place?
The people outside looked really pissed. Unfortunately this is gonna end up with one of these nutjobs getting wasted thus making martyrs out of the whole miserable crew. That's probably what they're hoping for.

4. I wonder who took the footage?
The person with the camera ended up INSIDE the Westboro van. Did they just have a defector?
