Protesters Block Westboro Beyatches

Hell yeah!!!

[A planned protest by the Westboro Baptist Church was overshadowed Saturday whenthousands of supporters gathered at the funeral of a fallen soldier to block the radical church's effort.

Thousands of people in red shirts formed a "human wall" around the Columbia, Mo. church where 21-year-old Army Specialist Sterling Wyatt's funeral was held. Wyatt was killed in Afghanistan earlier this month...

Westboro Baptist Church frequently pickets military funerals around the country, based on the group's belief that deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan are God's punishment for the United States' tolerance of homosexuality. Last year, the group announced plans to "quadruple" their protest efforts following a Supreme Court decision that ruled such demonstrations are protected by the First Amendment.] http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/22/westboro-baptist-church_n_1693548.html?utm_hp_ref=daily-brief?utm_source=DailyBrief&utm_campaign=072312&utm_medium=email&utm_content=NewsEntry&utm_term=Daily%20Brief
