its just another example of the lack of human respect that has occurred in our society.

 

yea, it's pretty sad state of affairs when people think the have a right to abuse and harrass grieving family members at a funeral service. it shows a total lack of human respect to take these type of actions for the means of getting some sort of message across and/or media coverage.

I think most of his congregation is his own family.

 

And the interviews I've seen, they believe it as much as the old man.

What does this guy believe? I have not heard of him before.

I'd rather not link to his despicable site.

 

He regularly protests at funerals for fallen soldiers, saying "they got what they deserved."

 

Just look up "Fred Phelps."

I saw a 7-part series on Youtube (which has since been removed, probably by somebody from his "church") called "The most hated family in America". It was about a journalist who spent a week with them to see what they did and how they lived their lives. Quite interesting but the people seemed pretty hypocritical to me. Their actions don't always seem to mesh with their beliefs.

 

I was saddened at the way they basically brainwash their own kids. At one of the protests one of the kids was walking around with a sign. The reporter asked the kid if he knew what the words on the sign meant and he said "no".

I'm guessing I would have agreed with this post.

No need to apologize. I completely understand.

I hope your aim was true . . .

And it was bricks, not eggs...

It would be worth getting arrested to knock this dude out. Hell with a good attorney you could probably even get off.

I wonder if anyone will protest his funeral?
