There is absolutely zero reason to picket a childs funeral. Political, religious, or otherwise. I can't understand how the members of that "church" can be so brain-washed that they think that is acceptable behavior.
Generally, I'm against violence in non-military situations but god help those sorry S.O.B's if that was my child's funeral.

And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

I was thinking Guardian Angels, but Hell's Angels would be a lot more fun!  |

Foxnews article just mentioned that a Biker Gang was planning to be a buffer between them and the actual funeral. They also said they believed that the Hell's Angels were going to help them out as well. |

A quick story...
I spent a couple years in Santa Fe, NM in the late 1980s and was proud to be involved, both years, with an annual fundraiser for the Marine Corps Toys-For-Tots program.
As a former Marine I had always found a way to participate in the program...and still do, but in all my life I have never been involved in anything like what happened in Santa Fe...
The event began on Saturday around noon and continued on through the evening, with a closing ceremony on Sunday at lunchtime when a GIGANTIC cook-out was held.
The participants of the event were all BIKERS! The population of Santa Fe was about 40,000 at the time and for the city to be overtaken by nearly 10,000 men and women, all on motorcycles was unbelievable.
You could hear the sound of the engines from a couple miles away as they approached the meeting place and you could almost smell leather and exhaust fumes if you closed your eyes and thought about the sight before you.
Almost all the bikes had teddy bears or other, various stuffed animals strapped on, and many were decorated with large Christmas bows placed on different areas of their "machines."
Both years, I had the opportunity to meet many of these men and women. Many were veterans of our military, there were doctors, lawyers, business owners, high, low & middle income people from all walks of life. They came from a number of surrounding states and represented numerous Biker Clubs, including the Hell's Angels and the Guardian Angels.
The leaders of each group presented the Marines with a donation check, the proceeds of fund-raising events held throughout the year, and all the toys the BIKERS had brought along with them to the event were loaded into huge military trucks for distribution at Christmas.
To this day I can not believe that I got to be a part of this sea of generosity and kindness. It was 24 hours of love for children that no one present even knew.
I sincerely hope that after the funeral for this poor little girl, we will all be able to sit back and say "Wow...where did they all come from!"

The Arizona House and Senate unanimously passed an emergency bill concerning funeral protests. Protesters must stay at least 300 feet away and can not be present 1 hour before or after a service. The Governor is expected to sign it.
