Church Protests Outside Wrong Way Crash Funerals [View All]

The memorial service for the five members of a Parkville family killed by a wrong-way truck in an Ohio highway accident includes some uninvited guests outside.

Three members of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, known for protests at military funerals, are demonstrating about a block from St. Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church, the site of the service.

The demonstrators say the deaths are God's retribution against the community for a recent $11 million jury award against the Kansas group. A federal jury in Baltimore made the award in October to Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., who sued after the group protested his son's military funeral in Maryland.

Demonstrator Fred Phelps says the community is going to "pay the price" for persecuting his group for preaching the word of God.
