OH! I just got to talking to my brother in law and apparently there was basically a brawl at Bub's funeral today because they showed up to protest. Some miners found out they were going to be protesting, showed up, and a state trooper was there. He went up and talked to the miners...said basically "Well, I have a call so...I'm not going to be around. You do what you have to do. I never saw you." And this was at the grave site. Apparently some protester had already been escoted OUT of the actual funeral at the funeral home. Like, really. This is all these people have to do with their time? Honestly?
Oh I know the feeling. I see groups and people saying things on facebook and it's all I can do not to launch a whole fucking campaign to get people banned. Personally, I think hate speak should be considered a hate crime. It causes emotional damages....
