  Cruelty Not Over For Amish Schoolgirls' Families
In a stroke of breath-taking (but legal) sadism, the Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest at the Amish schoolgirls' funeral.

From PennLive.com:
Members of a Kansas-based church that has picketed funerals of fallen American soldiers are expected to protest at the funerals of the Amish girls killed Monday in Lancaster County, according to a news release issued by the church.

The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka blamed Gov. Ed Rendell for the mass murder of the five girls in a one-room schoolhouse because he ridiculed the church on a national television news show, the news release said.

The church said nothing about the man who shot and killed the girls and wounded five other girls. He was identified as Charles Carl Roberts IV of Bart.
And, once again, free speech crosses into brain-numbing cruelty, aided and abetted by US judges -- who should be forced to sit with grieving family members while the protests clatter outside.

I hope the families know they can call the PatriotGuard.
