Westboro Baptist scheduled to protest 9 year old's funeral

They 'plan' to protest everything. Best thing for people to do is just NOT pay them attention.

Fred Phelps is the biggest closet case I've ever seen.

This. Don't worry about them.

Besides, what often happens is that people who would have ignored what you're doing will turn up to support it because of WBC.

By a 8-1 decision the SCOTUS upheld their right to protest. Also a 5-4 decision to not allow the father to collect $5 MM in damages against them.

Unfortunately the SCOTUS got it right on the first one and since that is the case the second had to fall the way it did.

One of my friends is complaining on Facebook about how she can't believe the court ruled in favor of Westboro. If she wants the right to say that, she has to understand the court's decision was in the interest of free speech, no matter how distasteful.
