Thread: protesters at a soldiers funeral

They are just a group of good guys, mostly all Christians, veterans, and/or ex-cops with a great cause & will ride for any fallen soldier.

Those who ride should look them up and ride with them sometime, you would not regret it one bit I promise you...

I'm just glad the funeral went as well as one can. God bless you all.

to know that there are still people in the world that will jump to the call to see our fallen sons sent off with the greatest of respect and dignity just brings a tear to my eye.

If i remember it right, they had plans to visit here few years ago. I do not know why, is it because of our troops in Afganistan and elsewhere or some other mystic reason (and i'm not interested a bit). They never came; probably they did find out that there is no single person here that would welcome them.
We have wackos of our own; no need to import them.

Mukava kuulla suomea Singaporesta.
Terveisiä, ja hyvät Juhannukset

Are you sure you dont need a few more? We have plenty to loan out!

I admire such restraint. While I'm a very non-violent person, there a part of me that wants to do great violence to these westboro scumbags. I kinda wish someone would make them disappear into those nearby mountains.

glad to hear that all was good, well as good as can be.

so things in the world i find hard to understand, this makes no sense to me at all. you take the freedom of speech that was given to you buy so many soldiers that willingly gave up their lives for you, and yet you use that freedom to wish death to more or say they are glad for the deaths? it just blows my mind, however *sigh* it is their right, weather they deserve it or not.

i may not agree with what you say, however i will defend to the death your right to say it
