The Westboro Baptist Church wackos are going to protest Officer Long's funeral.

Straight from their web page (which apparently I can't get to come up now).

Anyway, I wonder what can be done to legally keep them away?

Hopefully they won't show again.

Not much as long as they stay the required legal distance away.

The last funeral in the area they were supposed to protest (Mooresville if I remember right) they never showed up to...

You might not be able to post it because of the name of the web address (godhates eff-a-gees.com)

They are all low-life pieces of **** and I just want people to quit paying attention to them so they will go away.

I stand corrected(about the site name).

As repugnant as this group and what they stand for are, they have every right to protest at the funerals they do. Liberty for all, even the morally bankrupt.

Agreed, but I can also totally understand and would completely turn a blind eye to any distraught family member that does something totally irrational and violent to them...

No officer, I didn't see a thing.

Seems to me that if enough folks from the community showed up, sooner or later these hatemongers would almost have to say something stupid enough to fall under this:

IC 35-42-2-3
Provocation
Sec. 3. A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engages in conduct that is likely to provoke a reasonable man to commit battery commits provocation, a Class C infraction.

I just have to wonder how that would shake out?

 

[NYFelon]

the westboro guy will get a ticket, and the batterer will get a criminal conviction.

 

[Clay]

"conduct that is likely to provoke"

this is the key. No need to batter anyone.

I wonder why no one has used that against them? It seems like if enough people complained and they got cited for that offense enough times, knowing them, they'd fight it, and start losing money in legal fees and maybe run out of gas money....

It's a nice thought...

As long as people keep paying attention to them, they'll keep showing up. They're already so far away that you can't even see them from the funerals.

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!
