Fred Phelps to Picket Dio's funeral.

Phelps is an asshole, but he still has the right to protest anything he wants to.
True, but I think it's weird that he's able to protest right outside of funerals. I mean, aren't funeral homes, churches and cemeteries private property? I guess I just don't get how that works, unless they're standing on the other side of the street on public property. But if it's not public property they're standing on, can't the owners put a stop to it? Oh well, I'm sure they have it all figured out, being lawyers and all.

They don't protest on the funeral home grounds. They're always the legal amount of feet away from private property.

Ah. See, I thought it would be something like that.

Yeah, basically, they just suck as people.
 
^ and so do we.
You have that right.

But in our case, we're protesting this man's right to live, since he has no apparent useful purpose outside of being a hypocrite.

I mean, if he's right about there being a god, that god is gonna send him straight to Hell for being the piece of crap that he is, and Dio gets a free pass into the good place for being a good person, regardless of all the "symbolism" he used on stage and whatnot. It was just for show in his case.
 
Protests should be off limits at a funeral.

This cult needs to crawl back underneath their rock now.
