Prostesting war at military funerals is really disrespectful and I cant believe that anyone would do such a thing. For people to do that is like saying that the life that was tooken in this war is a waste and not reconized as that soldier sacraficing his life for the sake of the american people

I think there should be limits on where you can protest a war. These men & woman are giving their lives for our country, and these idiots are protesting the war at their funeral. The families of these brave men & woman have enough heartache and sorrow, they dont need to be dealing with some bible-humpers with too much time on their hands. Like it or not, this is an American war we are fighting. Your opinions about the war are just that, opinions. Yes, we have freedom of speech, but it should be limited to places other than funerals, have some damned respect.

I have seen footage of some of the protesters at Military funerals and it sickens me to see the total lack of respect for our fallen Soldiers!
It's fine to protest...that is your right as an American but there is a time and place for it and funerals are not the place!
There should be some kind of punishment for people who have no respect for the Soldiers who gave their lives in War.
There is nothing lower than people who do that kind of thing! They are disgusting Human Beings!

That would be Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas. I think they are absolutely disgusting. You should see their website. It's enough to make you sick. They tried to protest in my state several times and the Patriot Riders protected the families. Then they announced plans to protest at a Native American funeral on the reservation and got their butts kicked (literally) and the tribal police did not interfere (good!) and the state cops had no jurisdiction. Their website tells you what funerals they plan to attend and protest at.

A funeral no matter who dies is not a place for such intrusions. To protest the war at the funeral of a fallen soldier is as un-cooth and tasteless as wearing a red dress at one as well. *unless wearing red was a last request of the deceased*

I think it is totally disrespectful...if you want to protest, fine. But don't do it at a funeral. Go protest in Washington. Don't disrespect a family in mourning. That person died to protect those people's right to protest, DAMMIT!!!

It is so incredibly disrespectful. Not only to the fallen soldier, and too his family and friends, but to all the soldiers who are still fighting for THEIR (the protesters) lives.
There is a time and a place, but a funeral is not one.
Anyone who does (or doesn't) support our troops...watch this video and then make the decision. It's called "Remember Me".

They have nor ever will have idea how it feels, until they lose a child and someone does the same thing to them. They insight violence in other wise calm people and feed off it in their media frenzy. I feel they should be dropped off in the middle of an ongoing battle in either Iraq or Afgahnistan and made to survive for without Soldier help for a few days, then ask them if they have changed their opinion as of lately?

The should be kept away from the people who are mourning
If I were there i would move them away one person at a time
I would pick them up and move them
I am 6ft8"320 lbs if they resisted i would have my dawg with me and he would convince them otherwise
Those people or sick in the head
My people are true Christians but i do believe if a group of people disrupted a family funeral those people would feel the wrath of some of my familys men folk
and in my town we would not be arrested
and if arrested is in another town,who in a jury would convict?
HINT
I pray for the safety of our fine men and women in uniform

I am never in favor of protesting a funeral. No matter what you think about the person who died, that person was probably loved by innocent people who deserve to have their bereavement in peace.
