How could someone protest a funeral? What kind of lower life form do you have to be to think protesting at a funeral is a good idea? The moral bankruptcy that is involved on the protesters side leaves me in fear for our society. That someone would go to a funeral with the expectation of seeing the grieving family and then taunting them leaves me speechless. That there hasn’t been more violence at one of these protests is a credit to the self restraint of the grieving families.

The complaint states five causes of action, all of which allege sufficient outrageousness as to warrant punitive damages. That’s the key; the Snyders probably can’t collect enough by way of actual damages to take douchey’s land and put him in the poorhouse. So its punitives or bust – unless other military families follow the Snyders’ lead here and file suits of their own. In that case, the legal fees alone might be enough to break him.

The family’s website is www.matthewsnyder.org.

Good luck to the Snyder’s on their case.
