$11 Million is Not Enough

The Westboro Baptist Church of Kansas and its members were ordered to pay $10.9 million dollars to the family of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq.
Members of the church protested at Snyder's funeral and the funerals of other soldiers killed in the line of duty.
They are not protesting the war, they say the war is God's punishment on this country for our tolerance of homosexuality.
Armed with signs that say God Hates Fags (godhatesfags.com is their website), they plan to keep protesting military funerals.
There's no point in expressing how I feel about these people because any reasonable person knows how fucked up these wackos are.
The problem is they're disrupting the funerals of brave men and women who are dying to protect the rights (free speech, free assembly) which they are hiding behind.
