BALTIMORE (AP) -- A federal judge in Baltimore is ordering Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church to pay more than $3,000 in costs related to the funeral of a Marine the group picketed.

Albert Snyder of York, Pennsylvania, is suing because church
members demonstrated at the funeral of his son, Lance Corporal
Matthew Snyder. Church members also posted pictures of the protest
on their Web site.

Corporal Snyder was killed in Iraq in March.

The lawsuit was filed in June. It says 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.

Court documents say the church has 30 days to make the payment
to Snyder.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Is that the same group of dumbasses that are always protesting on how they hate the soldiers?

Good. Hopefully they'll all sue and win.

Yup

Although I'm all for those bastards having to pay, I'm not sure I understand the basis for the ruling. Why should they have to pay for funeral expenses? Anybody know the laws better than I do who could explain?

I hope they have to foreclose on those pig****ers.

Is Dave Lane a member of that church?

Interesting. There has to be some way of balancing out that sort of non-sense. Maybe this will be that way.

I am not going to say I know the laws, but I can understand what appears to be the thinking. If you planned a wedding, and a group of people crashed that wedding in a disruptive manner (thus ruining a service you have paid for), then the perpetrators should be responsible for reimbursing you for your loss as a result of their actions. I have heard of it done from that angle before. I think that this judge ruled the same way for the funeral. A "you break it, you buy it" philosophy that may or may not stand up to an appeal.

That's how I see it as well.

Yep, and its that same group of sodomites that decided to accost my family outside a Van Halen (!) concert at Kemper a couple of years ago... (the thread still exists somewhere) because my then preteen son who was on his way to Eagle Scout had the cojones to ask me why they hated America and one of the fockers heard him...

I've never been one to cheer a church burning, but still...

Hopefully this is just the first of many lawsuits to come.
