When cynicism and bigotry backfires

Sometimes it's really hard to comprehend people, the things they do and think differ in so many ways, it never fails to boggle your mind. Such as these so-called fundamentalist who have gotten what they deserve, if you want to know more about what I am trying to arrive at, read this:



(1) Church ordered to pay $10.9 million for funeral protest by http://www.cnn.com/



(2) Jury awards father $11M in funeral case by http://www.news.yahoo.com/



Their sick and twisted notion that the people dying in Iraq war is a punishment for the America's tolerance of homosexuality is just outright ridiculous. Reasoning that what they were doing is to spreadout this message(yeah right!), but they have ignored the inflicted emotional distress to the bereaving families. They routinely picket funerals of military personnel carrying placards like in the pictures below:






But the Maryland lawsuit filed by Albert Snyder of York, PA believed to be the very first filed by the family of a fallen serviceman won the rulings and his attorney Craig Trebilcock had urged the jurors to determine the amount of $10.9 M to send the message that no one should bring circus of hate to Maryland. The awarded amount far exceeds the net worth of the defendants as per financial statements filed with the court. Serves them good hmmmmph!
