Funeral protesting

How could you live with yourself after protesting at a funeral? Honestly? It makes you wonder if any member of Westboro Baptist has ever buried someone they cared about. What a traumatic experience for someone to go through, I know from experience what it means to put to rest someone that you can't picture living without. I don't understand how anyone could possibly think it was their right to disturb something so important to people.
I think about my younger sister who attended the funeral that was protested in Jamestown recently. My sister, who at the time was dating a marine, went to support him in his time of a lost friend. What a memory to keep. How can she be expected to attend another funeral. What memory does she keep? As if the memory of burying someone isn't enough to make you uncomfortable sometimes.
Do these men, women, and children have no heart? Do they care about anything? Authorities need to realize the kind of hate that people like this spread. The U.S. as a whole it too far left or too far right if you ask me. Until people open their eyes, ears, minds, hearts; there will be no change that will last and translate in every persons mind. We need a nation that believes in equality, not one that preaches for it while ignoring the very things that keep it a simple hope.
