I remember when they came to Bismarck after two young soldiers were killed in Iraq. Seeing them with their disgusting signs at the funeral of soldier killed in action will burn in the back of my brain. However, the Freedom Riders were also there.
ReplyDeleteawwww! Great point Shannon! And thank goodness for those other people trying to drowned out the hate.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to start a fight with one, but that's what they want. I've heard that by people assaulting them and suing the person for it is how they get most of their money. Jerk-offs. I'm glad there are other protesters to counter them so they know people don't agree with them.
