Let me put it this way, I believe that Fred Phucking Phelps has a right to spew his filth in public, near funerals, wherever. One has no right to not be offended. That said, if one knowingly gives someone mortal offense when they are at their least emotionally stable, one has no right to believe that they will leave the premises with all of the teeth they arrived with.
I don't believe for a second that, if someone did less than mortal damage to this jerkwad for protesting outside of a funeral, that any jury in the country would convict him. Heck, if this were in the middle east, someone would already have burnt his church down around his ears, likely after nailing them to the altar.
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome priest?
(Worked last time.)
