So this is what we did. My friend S took the front of the crowd and I stood up the hill at the back. He kept people enthused and focused and I stood watch for trouble makers or the hate group that said they were coming to protest the funerals. You may have heard of that group. They spew hate at military and gay funerals. They hide behind the bible, but their real purpose is to incite and provoke violence so they can sue vulnerable people and towns/cities. They ask for police protection before they come and if they provoke someone with their hate speech (or stepping on the American flag), they sure the police for failing to protect them. They won six figures more than once. They won five figures from the family of a veteran because one of the family members reacted to their provocations at a funeral. I won't mention them any more because they don't deserve the attention.
We are there to say #lovewins and block any view of their hate from the families and mourners. Our job is to remain calm, positive, and united in supporting the families no matter what anyone does. We succeeded today. :)
