Yeeeeeeeeeah, that's just how it is with the Bible Belt.

GOD HATES HATERS, YOU OLD FART. D: Get a clue!
Stuff like that upsets me a little...
I wonder what he thinks he's going to accomplish by picketing at his freaking funeral. I mean... the guy is deceased. It's not like he's gonna be like "hm, oh... D: yeah... I guess he has a point."

He's DEAD.
Let him be dead in peace plz.

a lot of people don't realize that they are picketing soldiers deaths. I find their reasoning behind it completely idiotic. They say the soldiers are getting what they deserve for "defending a country that supports homosexuality and other deviant lifestyles" or something along those lines. It's really horrible and I personally feel that they are complete idiots. There are so many reasons to hate them.

Exactly. They were on the news about the way they acted for the first couple of funerals they protested. I think the main issue is based on time. In most cases, if I have heard correctly, they tend to not release the names of soldiers who have passed away until they at least get back to U.S. soil (I could be completely wrong about that statement though). Because Heath Ledger was in an autopsy first and he his body was sent to Australia and he just got cremated a couple of days ago, the drawn out amount of time was enough time for the Phelps family to actually get the attention which they so desperately desire. Most of the soldiers were buried probably a week at the most after they passed away (which there is no need for an autopsy if they were shot). I have heard on CNN about their protests of soldiers, even if I find it ridiculous that they are protesting it. Another reason is because there were several different soldiers who have been protested, but none of them have heightened media coverage due to the fact that many people weren't ( ... )
