Who establishes what distance is respectful?  Perhaps the Owasso Police could suggest 5 miles as a respectful distance.



I might suggest somewhere outside the International Space Station, but that might be construed as being mean...

That'd be 215 miles (when overhead)...   Which happens to pretty much be the distance to Topeka, KS  (ie, they should just stay home)

Yeah, but there's still breathable air in Topeka KS...

The great thing about the first amendment is that it gives idiots the ability identify themselves. 

We see you, and through your words, we are repulsed.

My kids knew Andrew Looney.  My daughter was in his graduating class and my son remembers him from football.  My wife and daughter are planning to attend the memorial tonight.  My son (aka Seaman Recruit Wagner) and I will be outside.  I'm planning to photograph as much as possible.  The shots will be posted on my Picasa page later tonight.

I say we get some sheets, attach them to broomsticks, paint anti-westboro idea's/prosoldier idea's on them, and protest the westboro's. We can protest directly between them and the funeral.

Thanks for the pics Ed, it looks as though the Phelps people were just a bit out numbered, and thanks to those that cam out to honor Andrew Looney.

I counted more cops keeping an eye on the protesters than protesters.  I found it interesting that they only news they got was a mention on the 10o'clock lastnight, and it was more of a "and some protesters somewhere down the street a few blocks".

Yeah, I thought it was good of the media (Ch 6 and Ch 2 both did this) to not even mention the protesters/church.  I mean after all, that's what they want, is the media attention.

It's Sauron.  Took a wrong turn at Albuqurque on his way to Mordor.

Those Westboro fools are just real life trolls.  It actually made me mad that they got as much news coverage as they did  (I caught the 10'o clock on Channel 8 ).  I'm not one for media blackouts, but in the case of them, I would make an editorial decision to completely ignore them and pretend they didn't exist.  Media coverage is what they want.

That being said, epic win by the community for turning out the way they did.
