Fallen Soldier Protest in Luzerne County.

If I were closer to Luzerne, I'd head on up as a counter protest.

Indeed. The WBC wants (in no particular order): attention, and grounds for lawsuits. It's best to avoid giving them either when possible.

IMO the grounds for a law suit is more of a motivator than any beliefs. With lawyers always present at their functions I think that their is a financial reason for their behavior.

Wonder how they would feel if a few hundred members from here showed up to counter-protest while OC'ing.

These guys are ridiculous, I understand protest against the war if you feel it is wrong, but let the family and friends have their day of mourning without some assholes trying to demean this poor guys service to our country and his personal sacrifice.

BTW, is anyone from here going to counter-protest? If so, contact me and I will go with you.

The WBC has nothing to do with the anti-war movement, they are just trying to upset people.

I am guessing these protesters did not show up.

Seems to me as though it was peaceful.

I was there....shed some tears too. It was amazing to see everyone there.

Patriot Guard was there and no local papers or TV gave the scum from westboro any real coverage.

A beautifully written article about Spc. Dale Kridlo's internment ceremony. I didn't know that he had twin daughters. May God love them and keep them in their father's absence.

Just a bunch of idiots still looking for handouts via lawsuits by trying to get punched in the face in front of a hundred witnesses.
