While a small group waved signs and took joy in the death of a U. S. Soldier Wednesday in South Haven, an assortment of veterans and motorcycle groups made sure at least, that the family of the deceased would not be bothered.Freedom of speech is freedom of speech...and that's what I love about this country. Read the whole thing...
The protestors, who numbered less than 10, held signs, tore American flags and made hateful remarks aimed at families of soldiers who have died in the line of duty.
There were over 125 motorcycles at the funeral Wednesday, representing veterans and cyclists from all over Kansas and Oklahoma. They surrounded the small group of protestors and whenever they would try to speak, dozens of motorcyclists revved their engines to drown them out.
The cyclists also provided a human shield between the protestors and the family of the dead soldier. By the time the funeral ended at South Haven High School, the small band of protestors had left, but the cyclists remained to honor a fellow soldier who had been killed in battle. They provided a color guard of several motorcycles, decked out with flags, from the school to the cemetery.
Mark' Remarks
Could someone, please, explain to me how harassing a grieving family is going to help bring the troops home? Could someone please explain to me how 10 people care so little for respect for the dead and commo decency that they would pull garbage like this? This is disgraceful, nonmeaningful and hate filled discourse, and anyone of those jerks has no right to say they are anything other than subhuman for their actions in seeking to torture this grieving family with their nonsense.
