Jury Awards Father $11M in Funeral Case
http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,155301,00.html
Just one more good reason why Church and State should be as separate and far apart as possible in a Free, secular-society such as ours. For those who would say "See why our courts are so screwed up..."? Just think; If this "Church" had stayed OUT of this, the soldier could have rested in Peace, and the courts would not then have had to bother with the subject, at all. |

What any Church, (or other person or institution) does: good, bad or indifferent makes no difference to the dead. |

These are individuals hiding behind what they want to call a "Church". Their assets should be liquidated by the courts and future assets attached. Without these assets these people could not travel all over America to harass people. They could take their Church of hate out of this country. That would be a problem for them as other countrys do not tolerate such demonstrations. It would be a blessing to all real Americans. MSG USARET

This is certainly a lawsuit worth filing and a case that deserved to be won. But the punishment of $11 million dollars far exceeds the crime. The attorney's pledge to hound the perpetrators for the rest of their lives is maniacal, not practical. Enforcement of these excessive money awards are likely to cost more money than will ever be retrieved.

It is not the dead that are GRIEVING. Is the rights of the grievers that are violated and are fileing suit. I believe in the addage that "YOUR RIGHTS END WHERE MINE BEGIN". We all have rights. Don't abuse the rights of all to protect the rights of one. Defend all and let the offender suffer. MSG USARET

No way was this GROUP spiritual/religious or whatever, they only WANTED attention. Protesting a Deceased Soldier's Funeral? We all hate/dislike, have prejudices but to the point of stomping on Graves of folks you don't even know, who didn't personally violate you or your space? They should be in Criminal Court, not Civil and any judgement should encompass some serious therapy. Bad thing on this (yes it's worse) they had their Children out there with them to ensure this disease will permeate for at least TWO more generations. |

NORMALLY, I'd agree with your opinion on this issue (excessive) but NOT these clowns. I wrote an earlier post on this. I'm for Free Speech, rights and what not but not at a Dead Soldier's Funeral, not even a Dead Nazi's, a Rightwing Malitia, an Afghani Rebel's Funeral... I don't think GROUPS in our country (whatever persuasion) have the right to PROTEST a funeral. Especially not in the manner they utilized. They (to me) were inciting a Riot on Good or Bad Day. Think about it. YOu're at a loved one's (specifically a soldier that died in combat/theater) and some idiots are outside spewing hate, WITH THEIR CHILDREN??? I can't remember the LAST time I had a fight and I use to have a LOT of them. But I'd probably still be trying to RAISE Bail, if they'd been outside of funeral I was attending? |

Yes, well as I recall, Brown still hasn't collected anything from OJ, and never will either. So, I won't hold my breath on these people collecting from the church!
In reality, its just about the money, nothing more, nothing less! The dead are dead and don't care, the living get compensated with money because of the dead is sick! They should pass a law forbidding anyone from disrupting a funeral because it is upsetting to those greiving, and throw em in jail if they break the law, but we ought NOT give anyone one cent because that will only encourage more lunatic lawsuits! Probably in this sicko society it might even enourage some parents to kill their kids in the service to get more money. I wouldn't put nothing past anyone anymore once money enters into the picture! |

It may not affect the dead but it sure does affect the surviving family. HOOAH!! God bless the Snyders & hopefully the appeal by Phelps will be thrown out, let's break their church. This news just made my day! |

I don't know what God they worship but the God that most people worship do not hate any of his children. (thats the religous part.) I feel really bad for that father that had to endore all that garbage knowing that his son fought for their freedom to believe all that crap. one last point they were not very American when they stood on the American Flag and sang that song "God "hates" America". those morons should be sent to North Korea, Cuba, or Republic of China, see how they like it over there.

Good luck to the family. I wish them well . Freedom of speech should not allow action at a funeral.

I agree with the post that this should have been a criminal case. While the U. S. Constitution prohibits Congress from passing laws interfering with free speech, it certainly does not provide unlimited venue. To be honest, in a free society, the families of the bereaved should be beating the living crap out of these people at every service they protest.
Same for Code Pink with their empty caskets outside of military hospitals. Good people shouldstand up to that sort of abusiveness. |

Far exceeding the crime, are you a freaking moron? I can tell by this comment you have never lost a child, nor had them show up at his funeral. If it wasn't for the action of Catawba Counties finest and Sherriff David Hufmman, Those morons tried to disrupt my sons funeral. The punishment isnt harsh enough. How any so called church can make a correlation between war and homosexuality is the most ridiculous, absurd comment I have ever heard. I personally believe in freedom of speech. Our kids are dying for that right. However not at the funerals of those defending that right. It's like slapping them in the face.

Some posters on here are that vehementely against gays... We can all learn some tolerance from these unpatriotic, son o bichas.
In fact I think there punishments should be being placed with the dead for about nine weeks (inside their coffins) |

Go Snyder family, I am sorry that you had to out up with them. I think we (america) needs to put those folks on a ship to Iraq and let them live there, since they want to dishonor soliders and salors. To stand on the American flag and say God hates you, Send them to ALLA. These folks and this idiot who hung a mexican flag on top of the USA flag in America, the legal system needs to quit being panty waist and deport these folks.

The size of the judgement should make the Phelps' & any other nutcases think twice about protesting at funerals regardless of whether they get the money or not. |

Isn't our Government supposed to carry out the will of the people? The principal of majority rules seems to have been thrown out the window when it comes to separation of church and state and the death penalty. Today NBC had a poll concerning In God We Trust on money and The mention of God in the Pledge of Allegiance. 86% were for 14% against. When it comes to the separation of church and state we are being ruled by the minority, which debunks the whole issue Of The People,By The People,For The People, SO HELP ME GOD  |
