Father of dead soldier sued for legal fees by Westboro

[quote=“CNN”"]
The father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church says an order to pay the protesters’ legal costs in a civil claim is nothing less than a “slap in the face.”

“By the court making this decision, they’re not only telling me that they’re taking their side, but I have to pay them money to do this to more soldiers and their families,” said Albert Snyder, whose son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, was killed in action in Iraq in 2006.

“Mr. Snyder and his attorneys have engaged the legal system; there are some rules to that legal engagement,” said Phelps, a member of Westboro who says she has participated in more than 150 protests of military funerals.

“They wanted to shut down the picketing so now they’re going to finance it,” she said.

Obviously i get why people hate Westboro, but they are soooo bold with this stuff and even arrogant with their comments in this article that i have to laugh

“oh, so you’re sueing us? well, we’ll counter-sue and win and your anger will help finance further protesting…”

That’s basically he biggest FUUUUU on earth.

i cant believe these guys haven’t been picked off yet.

the legal system worked, but it’s a damn shame there is still no justice.

Got to love the comments section. For example:

One of the reasons I am so tolerant of homosexuality is because churches are crazy.

ORLY?

You lose everyway here…

Westboro are a bunch of crazies… soldiers have no impact in modern war… reading CNN requires a massive grain of salt… commenting on CNN put your retardedness on a world-scale…

there is no escaping the fail

yeap, if 20 - 30 protesters go down everytime theres a protest, they protests will stop
