Supreme Court, Westboro and the PGR

[bobhamlin]

I participated in a PGR mission for Lt. Brendan Looney yesterday. He died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. The Westboro scum were standing outside Arlington National Cemetary to protest during the procession from the church.

I was in the part of the escort that peeled off to position ourselves and running bikes between the signs and sounds of these hateful b@stards and the family and the rest of the procession as they passed.

This week, the Supreme Court will deal with the issue of free speech and the intrusion into a particularly private time for a grieving family. Regardless of the decision, legal or not, WBC is scum, earning all the disgust I can generate.

Thank you, PGR, for helping me to keep foremost in mind that we are there to honor the fallen's service and to protect their families and others during a solemn time. On the several missions that have involved the protesters, it was that discipline that prevented me from directly confronting the idiots with no other purpose that to make sure the scum understand how much I despise their actions. PGR gives me the way to handle myself.
