My friend just burried her son yesterday. He died after serving only two months in Iraq.She was devastated, heartbroken,and emotionally shattered. She loved her son more than anything in this world and would have gladly taken his place. All she is left with is memories of his first smile, his first kiss, and his first I love you. Well, at the cemetary, while she was saying her final good byes, a bunch of m*th*r f***ing a**hole protesters were there shouting things like he deserved to die and that he was not saved and sh*t like that.they oughtta be publically executed for that. They are heartless sons of b*tch*s. There should be a law against that. How would they feel if it were one of their children coming home in a box? I could go on and on. I'm sorry , but I wish misery and death upon them. They deserve every f***ing bad thing that happens to them.Just imagine the pain they caused this family. Does anyone else think this has gone too far?

It is not right. They should be stopped. Unfortunately, what he fought and died for, what I have fought for and my husband still does fight for, is their right to do so. They should at least be kept outside the cemetary, but we cannot do that because it would be violating the very rights we fight to defend. By allowing that c**p to happen, her sons death is ennobled. They'll get theirs. Call it fate, call it Karma, call it Judgement... in this life or the next, they will get theirs.

My deepest apologies to your friend. I know that these only sound like words to you, but as I read this brief article, my eyes welled up with tears. Unfortunately, protesting is not illegal, it is the freedom of speech that we are always fighting for here in America. Soldiers fight so that schmucks like that can speak bad about them behind their backs. Pardon my language. Yes, they too would probably feel the same way and curse those you condem their children for fighting. However, for all those who lose their lives in God forsaken wars, it gives one protestor the chance to yell and holler. That is something most do not realize or can even comprehend. I don't wish death upon these people, but I do wish that they would show their respect to those who have perished giving their lives for them. There is a time and place for protesting, one place is not a cemetery or burial site. This isn't the first time either, this type of situation has happened many times in the past, with sometimes devastating events between those attending burials and the protestors themselves. The only thing I wish unto these people is karma. Karma will have the last say in how they choose to display themselves and their actions around society.
Once more, I'm deeply sorry for what happened to your friend. My upmost sympathy towards them.
God bless.

No, I don't think it's right, and yes, it's gone way too far. I thought those people weren't allowed to protest within a certain distance of the cemetary. You guys should have called the police.
I'll make sure my friends here know about this...your friend will have a lot of prayer for her from Baumholder, Germany.
As an Army wife, I feel for her. No one deserves to lose their son...and to add insult to injury the way those people do...makes me wish I was a violent person.
Yes, there should be a law against what those people are doing, but there won't ever be. Unfortunately, freedom of speech even covers the imbeciles.

Sadly this happens. Its NOT RIGHT in anyway. But its the way it really always has been. If you look back at Vietnam, all the the men that lost there lives and limbs fighting and they were treated so horribly upon return. What these protestors do not realize is that these men and women are fighting for our country. I can GUARANTEE that not each and every one of them agree with the war BUT they have accepted the duty to fight for our country and they do so regardless. I dont believe that under any circumstances things like this should happen. If people lose a loved one - no matter what, I think they should be left to mourn. If these people dont agree with the war they need to be writing to the govt and protesting at govt agencys not at funerals of fallen soldiers. Thats just my 2 cents. It just sickens me!

Thats just as bad as that church colt or what ever the f*ck they where that was on the news after the where protesting and carring on at a military funeral. I dont know what I would do to the heartless bastards but I know this my husband is overseas and heaven forbid something happen to him or anyone else on his ship but if anyone comes around and decided to disrepect services in our hour of mourning then i wont be held accountable for my actions. That is rude and wrong and who ever the believe in or worship should not have mercy on their souls. Nobody deserves to have people protesting their funeral even if they were the scum of the earth their loved ones should at least be given that one day of peace

It's too bad that these people use their freedom of speech to do such things. Is throwing horse s**t at them also protected? I hope so and I hope somebody does it to them. Soldiers aren't to blame for wars, the fault lies with governments, but these brain dead protesters can't ever seem to get it. I can remember the same type of people harassing returning soldiers during the Viet Nam war, calling these young guys baby killers and worse. My father served in the navy for 20 years, my brother served in Germany in the early 60's, and I can still remember the news that my cousin died in Viet Nam even though I was only a small child so I understand that some people are willing to do whatever is necessary to serve our great country. I still believe that people reap what they sow so hopefully these b*st*rds will get what they deserve. My prayers are with our troops wherever they are sent to serve.

yes, it has gone too far.
everyone is blaming the wrong people for the wrong reasons.
your friends' son would still be alive if it wasn't for that clownmonkey Bush. it was Bush's decision to send troops into Iraq and soon enough, more young son's of America will die there because they are fighting a war that cannot be won by conventional weapons.
you are fighting an enemy who does not fight fair and does not care about innocent children. they will kill all who get in their way.
Bush is going to call upon more young men in America to fight for this war that is truely meaningless. Why do I say that?
because it will help nobody but his own buddies. All the contracts to rebuild Iraq will go to his golfing buddies and friends of Dick Cheney.
All your friend's mother will get for her son's death is a letter from Donald Rumsfeld saying how great her son was and it won't even be signed by him..it's a copy of his signature!!!
what an insult!
seriously, Bush is the problem.
those protesters are wrong for slamming the military..the military are just doing their job.
Bush is the problem because he's telling the military to go fight for something that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
and what's worse is what's still to come.
Bush will draft more young men to fight in Iran in the next month or so when that war will begin.

I'm sorry that we live in a country where people can do this.
It is very wrong and very sad.
But this is what happens.
I wish all the best to the family and trust me, the protesters, they're the ones that are not going to be saved.
I'm not the most religious person but I do remember that God said, Love Your Fellow Man.
So that makes them sinners.

Yes there should be a law for that i hope somebody called the police and got their names so your friend can sue them not for money but for community service on a military base.
Protesting is one thing but disrespecting somebody in a cemetery is not only weak its just wrong.
I hope they will get their respect the same way they try to give it.
They should have army personal there to avoid that problem anyway.
Sorry about your friends son.

I am so sorry for your friend. The group you are referring to is the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. They have turned there religion unto a cult who make a name for themselves by attending funerals of servicemen and women and legally protesting against the war, gays and whatever else is bothering them this week. I'm currently serving in Afghanistan and when 2 of our soldiers were killed this cult attended one of the funerals in Colorado. CPL Sitton's family was spared much of the protesting by a group of bikers called the Patriot Guard. The Guard put themselves in between the protester and the family and sang. I wish they had been at your friend's sons funeral. Please express our sorrows to your friend for her loss.
