Anti-Gay Church Must Pay Marine's Family

POSTED: 10:15 am EST December 12, 2006

BALTIMORE -- A Kansas church has been ordered to pay $3,150 for costs and fees associated with a summons and complaint filed by the father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by the extremist group.
Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., is suing the Rev. Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church after church members demonstrated at the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, of Westminster, and posted pictures of the protest on their Web site.
Lance Snyder was killed in Iraq in March. Members of the Topeka church claim U.S. soldiers are killed as God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.
His father's federal lawsuit, filed June 5, alleges church members violated the family's right to privacy and defamed the Marine and his family at the funeral and on the church's Web site.
Phelps and the church refused to grant a waiver in the serving of summonses in connection with the federal lawsuit, making the church liable for those costs.
Court documents say the church has 30 days to make the payment to Snyder.

It's about time - let's hope the legal system works on this one.

Good! I don't know much about the law but I wonder if the members who are also attorneys can be turned into the state bar over any of this.

I agree - out f'n standing!

I read their web site and watched some videos of these folks. Bastards made me sick. They are fortunate that they got away with only a broken windshield. They are probably the sort of folks who would be waiting at an air port to throw bags of dog shit on returning troops. Deport them to live in N. Korea I say. All I hear from their mouths is hate. Perhaps they have some inward sexual issues which they are trying to make up for. They talk about hell - they have no idea what hell is.
