Protests at NIU victim funerals

The Daily Herald reports that members of the Westboro Baptist Church have decided to protest at the funerals of two of the NIU shooting victims today because of a lecture given eight years ago by a preacher who had undergone a sex change. This is the same group that has been protesting the funerals of fallen soldiers. Their message, as near as I can tell (beyond being hateful and vitriolic), is that every tragedy or disaster that befalls America (among other places) is the wrath of God.

The vileness of their actions goes without further comment.
