I don’t watch the news that often; frankly I find it rather depressing. However, when I was skimming through some stuff online I found this article. It tells the story of dad, Albert Snyder, who is suing the Westboro Baptist Church for protesting his Marine son’s funeral. The group has some extreme beliefs when it comes to war and the causes of death; this is not the first time they have done this. Regardless of whether or not you believe in the Iraq War, it seems like there should be uncrossable line when it comes to protesting soldiers funerals.
The proceedings have brought into serious debate the extent of our 1st Amendment rights and the results will end up effecting us all sooner or later.
