Funeral Protest... we need your help!

[Morcheeba]

I'm so sick and tried of these people. All people, hateful people. And I know I sound just as bad for saying it but they need to be exterminated!

There will never be an answer, and that's just more than a frustrating reality. My heart aches for innocents that get harmed, hurt, trampled and tortured. I wish there was something, just something. Law isn't the answer... it doesn't work. Nothing does...

(sorry I'm feeling slightly hopeless right now, I've just finished watching the Pianist for the first time and now to see this continued... well I see no real difference in the level of hate)

There is a biker organization (whose name is escaping me at the moment) who does something similar. They provide a barrier between the funeral and WBC using their bikes, huge flags, and revving their engines.

They're called the Patriot Guard, made up of veterans, soldiers, and civilians who ride their motorcycles to most, if not all, planned WBC protests of funerals of fallen soldiers. Most, if not all, major cities have a Patriot Guard chapter established in them.

Yah, cities/towns grant or deny public assembly permits to hate groups (which the Neos and KKK undeniably are) on a case-by-case basis. If they'd do the same to WBC (hell, they might be for all I know), it might force their hand. Chasym's reminding me of the riots actually gave me a thought - wouldn't classifying the WBC as a hate group (again, pretty much undeniable) give cities and towns more leeway in deciding whether or not to grant them assembly permits?

actually the neo nazis were denied the permission to parade in Toledo Ohio a few years back because of the uproar from the community, So they decided they would walk the side walks of my neighborhood legally instead, a mere two blocks from my home, thus sparking the Toledo riots of 2005, I happened to be out of town and turn on the TV and live on CNN was my neighborhood, i couldnt get ahold of any of my family, all lines were down, i raced home and there were cars turned over, buildings burning, it was terrifying. They burned down a historic building, The gas station in the video was being worked by a pregnant woman that they beat down. Nuts. All because they didnt march downtown where it could have been more controlled.

...Yeah.. noticing, in a sort of ironic way, that it's the blacks and not the neo-nazi hate group that started the chaos. Sometimes, I have to think maybe the hate groups have a point. Just sometimes.
