The demonstrations mounted during military funerals for fallen soldiers is despicable to say the least. Patriot Guard has, I believe, been a huge factor in getting these bills passed in the midwest. They stand guard between the mourners and Phelps band of miscreants at the request of soldiers' families and in less than nine months has gone from just a few American Legion bike groups to a nationwide community of over 5,000 members.
Regardless of how you feel about the first amendment, there's no excuse for total disrespect and organized chaos when a family and a nation mourn the loss of someone who died in protection of those rights.
