    I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place to post this, or even if I can, but it's worth a shot.

    If anyone watches the news, you may have seen that SPC. Vicari passed away last week in Afghanistan and his body was returned to Lowell, Indiana with an escort from the Indiana Patriot Guard.

    He is due to be buried on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 12:15 p.m at Holy Name Catholic Church located on 11000 W 133rd Avenue, Cedar Lake, IN.

    The issue is that the Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest the funeral.

    I would be more than happy to help muffle the noise and help show support to SPC. Vicari and his family, but I am stationed overseas in Okinawa Japan.

    The Indiana Patriot Guard has been informed, but if anyone is available to help drown these morons voices out, it would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    - Tim

    A-holes.
    Thanks for the heads up, I have passed the word to my VFW commander. Hopefully we can round up a few bodies to help.

    Oh, boy I wish I could get off work. It's very, VERY, rare I side against a protected constitutional right...but it sickens me that something can't be done to make this kind of filth illegal.

    From what I've seen from videos on youtube people make a human shield with American flags to screen the families from screaming morons.

    I still don't understand why those people protest funerals. What is their [STRIKE]belief or [/STRIKE]reason for doing this?

    FTFY

    From what I have read here on INGO and other places online is that this group is composed mainly of legal people (ie. attys) that go around and attempt to try and get you to act ob them so they can then sue you for assault, denying them your free speach (ie. a city attempting to move them via LEOs), etc.

    They choose a topic that is highly emotional and then make a go at it.

    I wish I would have seen this earlier today. I could have called off. It sickens me that these people think that this is an except able way to get there agenda out there. Thank you to all who go to support the family of the brave soldier who gave his life to defend our freedom.

    I wish I wouldve seen this earlier. I am listening to the scanner feed now, and seems like there has been a big media and patriot Gaurd turnout. Haven't heard much about the WBC.

    Please, attend the funeral instead of giving the WBC any more attention (which only encourages them). They already have to stay so far away that no one will know they're there. If people would stop empowering them, they'd go away.
