I'm glad no one got hurt, but honestly that's pretty ignorant and I can understand how pissed off friends and relatives of deceased soldiers could be.
I'm surprised it took this long. This is even better than punching them in the face at a protest, because they probably won't find anyone to sue over arson. And that's the only reason they picket at funerals - practically the entire family is made of lawyers, and they will sue the first person to try anything illegal into oblivion. And they are very careful not to slander specific people, just generic groups like 'gays', so you can't get them for hate speech or whatever either.
Honestly, I'm more afriad of Christain extremists than I am of Muslim extremists. Years of Mental Warfare FTL.
I have always wished that something destructive would come upon the Westboro Baptist Church... something legal- something they can't do anything about. Ideas?
