Semper Fi!
Apparently this is true...I don't know about all of it but I would be really surprised if it isn't mostly true.

You may not support the wars which is your right but the Westboro Baptist Church is a DISGRACE, IMHO
On Saturday USMC Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers, who was killed in action in
Afghanistan April 7, was buried in Brandon, Mississippi.
That, by itself, is a sadly unremarkable – though certainly noteworthy
and solemn – occasion for us to mark.
And in fact when Sgt. Rogers’ body returned to Brandon it was greeted
by hundreds, or perhaps even thousands, of well-wishers who gathered
at the roadside to honor the fallen American hero. The dashboard
camera from Mississippi state trooper Elmo Townsend’s cruiser gives an
indication of the scene last Thursday.
What is most notable about Sgt. Rogers’ funeral in Brandon, however,
is what didn’t happen.
You see, the troglodytes from Westboro Baptist Church had threatened
to spew their poison at Sgt. Rogers’ funeral.
But the Westboro mob wasn’t on the scene, and Sgt. Rogers was laid to
rest without incident – thank God.
Why weren’t there protestors?
Planning ahead by the locals, as it turns out.
From an Ole Miss sports message board, a tidbit of information…
A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protestors) ran his
mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his arse waxed. Police were
called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who
beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd
that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about
what had happened.
Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things
that were put into place that most will never know about and at great
expense to the county.
Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It
seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly
behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the
drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over.
Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it
was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the
Kansas plated cars could get out.
A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned
about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out,
after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they
were allowed to go on about their business.
Fred Phelps, the disbarred lawyer and Democrat activist who leads the
Westboro congregation, will undoubtedly pursue some form of legal
action for the way his people were thwarted in Brandon. Let him try.
There isn’t a jury in Mississippi which will see things his way.
This is a template for how to handle the Westboro people. If lawsuits
don’t work, other means will. Whatever it takes to keep them from
harassing bereaved military families on the day their fallen loved
ones are laid to rest.
