#1 In a related event, a ND Indian tribe has banned Phelp's hate group from their reservation pending a funeral of a ND National Guardsman from the tribe killed in Iraq on Thanksgiving Day.
With so many lawyers in the group, I imagine part of their income is related to tort extortion -- they provoke someone to attack them and squeeze money by manipulation of the US tort system. This is why the video cited in this article was made, as a way of collecting evidence to make money off this racket. Many states have laws against being a public nuisance, I wonder if these could be applied against Phelps and his crew.

#4 The Phelps people forget that you need to get a jury to go along with your case. Alienating a community doesn't get you a sympathetic jury.

Zing! The Phelps clan is the most convincing argument for retroactive abortion.

#7 My first reaction is: ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME! Too bad one or two didn't get roughed up enough to have a court date. I am assumming that any rational jury would conclude the group was inciting violence and therefore deserved what happened. Also the discussion is correct the bulk of these yahoos are lawyers with somewhat cushy jobs. I think that maybe the MSM needs to give them super publicity and have their names all over the papers. I heard two of the lawyer/snakes on the radio and they have no love for anyone that doesn't worship as they do. Think FAR FAR right fringe and then go two spaces right from that.

#9 What I want to know is what the hell are those police doing there ? Why are there police protecting those parasites ? They would be sent home with a lesson carved on their faces and they would learn to stay home, but the asshole police are protecting them.

#10 The cops are doing their jobs just like the professionals that many of them are. Go figure. No officer of the law should stand by idly as someone within their view takes the law into their own hands. To expect that is to encourage societal mayhem. What would your response be if the officers in attendance happened to agree with Phelps?
