In Honor of The Reverend Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church



Fred Phelps and his church/family/cult got hit with about 11 million in damages for protesting a Westminster funeral for a fallen serviceman. While I have a feeling that this verdict won't hold in full, I am glad that this bunch of quasi-Christian stalkers and death cultists got punched in the teeth in court. I just feel bad that the family didn't kick his ass physically; it would have been a "freebie" ass-kicking as any civil judgment for assault/battery would simply have netted out against the Plaintiff's verdict and I doubt that a Carroll County jury would convict a father who kicked the ass of a soldier's funeral protesting freak. The foregoing comments are offered in my capacity as redneck, not in my professional capacity.
