That's quite an exaggeration. They are standing far away from the ceremony.
EDIT: To clarify, I don't mean to defend them. I just think what they do is appalling enough on its own, without stretching the facts.
- portman 16y agoYou're right that there is no need to exaggerate. The raft of state legislation in 2007/2008 setting up perimeters (300 - 500 feet, depending on the state) was in direct response to the stepped-up funeral protests of 2006 which were in extremely close, personal proximity to the mourners. Now, they are 300-500 feet away, but only due to specific state laws.
- rhizome 16y agoSure, but in the vast majority of (if not all) events the Phelpers are kept far enough away that the people at the events don't even see them.
