Man fires pepper spray on protesters outside Marine's funeral
CNN) -- A motorist fired pepper spray Saturday at a group of demonstrators and counter-protesters outside a funeral for a U.S. Marine in Omaha, Nebraska, police said.

The incident occurred shortly before 10 a.m. (11 a.m. ET) as members of a small Kansas church that protests at military funerals and counter-protesters stood nearly a block away from First United Methodist Church during services for Staff Sgt. Michael Bock, 26, who died August 13 in Afghanistan's Helmand province.

A man in a Ford-150 pickup truck drove by, extended his arm and sprayed with a large can, police said. His vehicle was stopped a few minutes later.

"Initial indications are he was probably targeting the Westboro Baptist Church" protesters, said officer Michael Pecha, a spokesman for Omaha police.

1. The Phelps Klan lives off of the proceeds of lawsuits.

This info needs to get to all communities targeted by the sociopathic Phelps klan.

The man with the pepper spray was foolish, his actions rash, and now he is caught in the Phelps Klan web and will be sucked dry for their nourishment.

2. I wonder...
what would happen if 'holy water' were sprinkled on the protestors and prayers were said over them for their conversion? My guess is they would scream and their true selves would be exposed - (ex: The Exorcists)! :evilfrown:
