>>>Them picketing a concert where everyone is there to have fun doesn't really bother me that much - but at a funeral? Hey I'm all for freedom of speach and all, but I think that only applies if you're not infringing on someone elses rights in the process. Even if KS decides there is nothing they can legally do to stop it hopefully these loooosers can be stopped some other way. It's not too often you run across someone with no class at all - but there they are.

>>>That is probably good advice. I pride myself on being very calm and cool-headed - but I honestly think I'd loose it if this happened at a funeral of someone I cared about.

>>There is a biker group that tries to attend any funeral where they expect these people to show (notice I didn't say a$$holes (OOPS)). I've forgotten who they are (I'm proud of them anyway) but from what I've seen on the news they do a pretty fair job of staying between the picketers and the funeral.
