for PFC Thomas Tucker's funeral. Word is that the County Sheriff had put so many restrictions on where they could protest that they didn't feel their voices would be heard. Oh boo hoo. I honestly am very pleased with local law inforcement on their decisions concerning this. I'm not sure where they are based but it would have also required some travel accomodations. Because it was held at a giant fairgrounds complex, the rules may have been a bit different.
A very good article about the whole shebang.
http://www.salem-news.com/articles/july062006/tucker_honored_7206.phpTo be honest, I believe the Phelps family of inbred, attention-whores would never attend a funeral without going to the media and GLARINGLY threatening their presence. What they want is a fight and media attention. That's how they get much of their funding, is suing local jurisdictions because they were not given their First Amendment rights to harass folks at their loved ones funerals. If you haven't heard anything about them attending by now, they probably aren't coming.
