Those Westboro folks are despicable.

Tomas's family doesn't need this crap.

Here's a recent story about Tomas: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/03/20/4132153/wounded-kansas-city-iraq-veteran.html

1. Who is Tomas Young??

[enlightenment]

2. The young veteran who was

paralyzed by a roadside bomb ten years ago and has now decided to end his life by starvation.

3. An Iraqi vet, severally wounded on the 4th day of the war, and the subject

of a documentary titled "Body of War"

Tomas had been written about on many news sites and blogs this past week. Just Google.

5. Sorry. He's a vet who was paralyzed in Iraq

and was portrayed in Phil Donahue's film Body of War.

He's currently in hospice care. He wrote a letter to Bush and Cheney this week about the war. It was the most read story on Yahoo in years. So I thought most DUers would know who he is. I apologize.

4. There needs to be a Camp Casey type vigil supporting him and making him

the focus of every news outlet in this entire world.

It's the least humanity can do........

6. I so agree.

7. Oh ....... that Phelps

When I read your headline I thought to myself, "Why is Michael Phelps picking on the soldier?"
