If ony one of those morons has any common sense he will talk their pastor into staying away from this funeral procession. I don't think it would be in their best interest to be anywhere around Tuscon.

Gabrielle Giffords... the motorcyclist
I just spotted this on the local newspaper website:
Arizona shootings: Bill would provide 'funeral protection zone' Democrats in the Arizona Legislature say they will introduce a bill Tuesday to create a "funeral protection zone" to keep protestors from disrupting the funerals of the victims of the Tucson mass shooting. The Rev. Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas responded to the shooting by saying, "Thank God for the violent shooter." He vowed to have his band of followers picket at the funerals. State Sen. Paula Aboud, D-Tucson, said Democrats are asking to waive the rules so the bill can be debated and passed in one day, in time for funerals that will begin this week. The bill is patterned after an Ohio law that establishes a 300-foot protection zone around a funeral location for one hour before and one hour after the event. "They want to protest at the gravesite of a 9-year-old girl, and we want to stop him," Aboud said. In addition, the Republican and Democratic parties in Pima County are urging people to help form a human barricade along the funeral routes to protect the victims' families from Phelps and his small band of vocal protestors.

Tucson is a big city, with over one million people in its metro area, but it still has a "small town" feel to it. These people are really pulling together over this incident and I am sure that even without this bill there will be more than enough people to keep the protestors at bay.
We joke about Tucson being Phoenix's ugly cousin, but it really is a nice place, just not as big and fast paced as Phoenix.

The thought that those ASSHOLES could even think about protesting that little girls funeral just boils my blood. Instead of all the locals coming together to create a barrier between the protesters and the funeral, how about creating a barrier between the police and the protesters. Then go in and beat the living hell out of them. And I'm talking putting them in the hospital.
I'm so tired of people be sheep and letting the "law" handle everything. WE THE PEOPLE need to start taking this country and common sense back! |

:(" title="" border="0"/> This is just sick and completely f##%ing wrong! It makes me very sad and angry that good people have no rights anymore. These few morons are allowed to ruin a very private moment for these families. I truly wish(and I know it is wrong) someone or some group would put a hurt or worse on these creeps. :'(

(fROM THE ARTICLE CAJUN POSTED):
Littell has notified the Pima County Sheriff's Department and has reached out to several other biker groups notifying them of their planned presence at Green's funeral. He crossed his fingers that the Hells Angels would join them. "Nothing says stand back and be silent like a Hells Angels presence," he said. Littell added that if the church moves on to picket other funerals, his riders will follow. "We're getting word there's gonna be a pretty large presence of bikers," he said. "Word's spreading. And spreading quickly." (END OF QUOTES) I seriously doubt the HA's show. They don't want or need any more trouble than they already generate on their own. But... we'll see. The problem with the Westboro nut-jobs are that they intice confrontation and then sue those that confront them. They have won a lot of money in court-awards. So... anyone getting in their face will be facing a lawsuit... which is how they make their money. Just saying...

Every single lawsuit they've supposedly won has not been paid and are up on appeal. Remember we had this discussion on another thread and the "pursuit of happiness" cannot be infringed on. We'll see what the Supreme Court says about it..

They are talking about having a law that keeps them 300 feet away. That's only a football field. Its still within shouting distance. 300 yards would be a good start. You know about the distance my deer rifle is sighted in at.

well if they had a line of loud muffler motorcycle at the 300 yard line aimed at the protesters and at the time the funeral procession came by a salute of wide open throttle to the deceased was gave it might work
