I hope the Patriot Guard Riders know about it. The local TV news just said the retard Fred Phelps and his whackjobs are coming tomorrow to the funeral of SFC Christopher Robinson who was killed last Saturday in Afghanistan.


Miss. Guardsman Killed In Afghanistan To Be Laid To Rest

JACKSON, Miss. -- Before he shipped out, Sgt. First Class Christopher Robinson told his father he was prepared to give his life for his country.

The 36-year-old became the first Mississippi National Guard soldier to die in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion began in 2001.

Family members said Robinson's funeral will be Saturday; one week after his Humvee came under enemy fire.

Maybe the asshole will do everybody a favor by falling into the Mississippi River on the way.



Fortunately, a group known as the Patriot Guard Riders have blocked out the hate with a counterprotest where they form a human barricade so those attending the funeral don't have to see the protesters.

As a soldier serving in a combat zone, it turns my stomach to think that if something happened to me, my family would have to attend my funeral with these heartless idiots spreading their hate only a few hundred feet away.

I'm proud of the way the Patriot Guard Riders have handled the situation. They've peacefully stood in the way, even when I'm sure many of them would love to get their hands on these church members. I wouldn't be able to show that kind of restraint.

Army Spc. David Kaye is a junior journalism major from Katy currently serving in Afghanistan.

1. SOLDIER'S FUNERAL
I am not a supporter of the wars being fought around nthe world, but I think it is a shame that a funeral is disrupted by these assholes. The family is in grief and trying to deal with the death of a child and to put further stress on them is heartless and deserves no respect for their stance or message.

I am saddened by the death of a fellow Mississippian, who was being used to further the program mof soul-less SOBs and I have NO sympathy for whatever comes down on the heads of the so-called protesters. Where are those who go postal? Now would be a good time.

those morons, here in Anderson Missouri a few months back, protesting a soldiers funeral, the patriot guard riders where there. Governor Blunt even put extra cops/troopers at the funeral, to keep the peace...
