Anti-Gay Church (Westboro Baptist) Must Pay Marine's Family

BALTIMORE -- A Kansas church has been ordered to pay $3,150 for costs and fees associated with a summons and complaint filed by the father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by the extremist group.

Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., is suing the Rev. Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church after church members demonstrated at the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, of Westminster, and posted pictures of the protest on their Web site.

Lance Snyder was killed in Iraq in March. Members of the Topeka church claim U.S. soldiers are killed as God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.

His father's federal lawsuit, filed June 5, alleges church members violated the family's right to privacy and defamed the Marine and his family at the funeral and on the church's Web site.

Here's hoping it sets a precedent and a practice for other families to follow.

They'll use this for more dumbass publicity - stretch it out as long as possible.

They will never pay it.

that are required to prevent people from laying these miserable fux to waste.

The local police forces must have better things to do than guard against some low life pieces of shit who are nothing more than disruptors. The cities should start suing as well.
