I reported last week about a planned protest by the slimy Fred Phelps and his "God Hates Fags" group at the funeral of a local soldier who left behind a pregnant widow.
They never showed up.
The planned protest got quite a bit of attention here in Bakersfield, and I gather quite a few angry phonecalls went out to the Phelps' home slimepit. There was some talk of a boycott of whatever local motel was unlucky enough to book their rooms.
But the protesters never showed up and the funeral went on as scheduled with quite a large local attendance.
The solder, who was 19, had been married only seven months. His younger brother wants to join up to "avenge" him, something his father is trying to prevent.
