Video of pepper spray attack on Phelps family
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGcfHgA4-wk

Watch the reddish brown truck at the beginning of the video. It also helped to see it better when I put it on full screen.

1. I understand the man's frustration
but this kind of revenge is never good - innocent folk can get hurt

2. I'm sorry this happened...
While I completely understand I know that this despicable family will sue. I also heard that there were innocent bystanders who were sprayed. I'm certain they were unintended, but that does not make it any better.

4. Let's not make them martyrs
The Phelps, not the innocent bystanders.

8. You're probably right.
If God were female, wearing socks with sandals would likely attract lightning.

11. They have a following?
Seriously, I just assumed they had totally isolated themselves when they started messing with the fallen soldiers funerals, and their congregation consisted entirely of their own extended family that supported themselves with their string of lawsuits.

I think they are filthy slimy creatures. Unfortunately they sue any and everyone they can. And, being a family of 'lawyers' they generally know how to bend the law in their direction.

I feel bad for the man who did the spraying as well as the bystanders who were hurt. As far as the clan Phelps they should count their blessings that it was only pepper spray.

On edit:

http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2010/08/nebraska-man-tries-to-pepper-spray.html leads to Joe My God's take on the story. He says, "The Westboro nutters LIVE for these sorts of incidents, of course, and will surely attempt to sue all involved parties even though they were not injured."

That's my point. They live to sue and that's pretty much what I think they'll do. I think it's sad that good, grieving people have to suffer with these low-life scum.

12. That wasn't very gratifying.
I was hoping for a closeup of their tears and anguish.
