Westboro Church Update

SUPER ironic. So here's the short story broken down.

Just a refresher...Westboro Church is the church who crashes soldiers funerals and hoots and hollers with signs saying, "Thank God for Dead Soldiers," "God hates America," etc. etc.

So here's the scene:

Ryan Newell is a retired Sgt. War Veteran who served in Afghanistan.
Ryan Newell apparently started following some Westboro Church members after they held a protest at a local high school.
Ryan Newell gets arrested for stalking.
Ryan Newell was in jail on $500,000 bond.
Ryan Newell spent a WEEK in jail.

Westboro Church members go along with their daily, hate-spreading messages.

  1. Although I don't agree with the things that the church members are doing, I also don't think a good way of making change is stalking them.
