Yay for Albert Snyder.
We have to celebrate every act brought to light and justice:
“Albert Snyder sued the Topeka, Kan., church after a protest last year at the funeral of his son, Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq. He claimed the protests intruded upon what should have been a private ceremony and sullied his memory of the event.
A jury agreed. On Wednesday, the church and three of its leaders — Fred Phelps and his two daughters, Phelps-Roper and Rebekah Phelps-Davis — were found liable for invasion of privacy and intent to inflict emotional distress.
Jurors awarded Snyder $2.9 million in compensatory damages and $8 million in punitive damages.”
The hate that particular church perpetrates will only make full-circle.
Meaness in ignorance will probably be forgiven.
Meaness in truth … probably not.
If they dont know that they dont know, then I hope that church finds peace.
I only wish that father could sue the state/government that allowed such an event to occur.
11 million wont bring his son back, but in this light his son stood for more than just a fighter for the country.
Winning this lawsuit makes his son’s death stand for so much more.
