Father of Slain Marine Wins $11MILLION from Westboro Loons

Albert Snyder, father of slain Marine LCPL Matthew Snyder won every count of his lawsuit against the Westboro Baptist Church loons who protest at his son’s funeral in 2006. The jury awarded Mr Snyder $2.9 million for compensatory damages and a staggering $8 million in punitive damages.
The Westboro Church is headed by Fred Phelps, who also runs the WWW.godhatesfags.com website. Some thirty thousand protests are claimed by the, largely Phelps family group.

U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett, who had sealed the church’s financial documents, said from the bench that the compensatory damage award would already eclipse Westboro’s assets.

Good! Hopefully these jackals will be forced into poverty, then they won’t be able to disrupt any more funerals of servicemen.
