And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood

And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me."

Do you know anything specific? The wording of this seems to be specifically just for Saturdays victims. Is that true? That seems wrong to me.

So it looks like it is funerals in general.
I don't have a problem with it. 300 feet might even be too close for me. It is not uncommon to have protest 'areas' at different events.

Yeah, it also appears like a lot of Tucson's public is going to create a human blockade to keep the Westboro nuts far from the funeral. This law should prevent a potential violent shit storm and hopefully it is a peaceful funeral because of it.

IMO harassment laws should simply be extended.

I saw that. What a crazy bunch of people with Oedipus complexes. For the life of me I cannot see, even in my most extreme moments, how these baptists can make the statements they make.
I saw an article about how a group of 'angels' would greet them.
In the bible angels are said to provide an escort to heaven. I wonder what the angels have in mind?"Perhaps the earth can teach us, as when everything seems dead in winter and
later proves to be alive. " Pablo Neruda
