A federal jury in Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday awarded $10.9 million to a father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by members of a fundamentalist church carrying signs blaming soldiers' deaths on America's tolerance of homosexuals. The Westboro Baptist Church, based out of Topeka Kansas, has to pay the family of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder the insane sum after it was deemed that they intended to inflict "emotional harm" while they demonstrated Matthew's funeral. The reason for the protest? The Iraq war is God's way of punishing the United States of America for being so lenient on homosexuals, so the soldier deserved to be killed because he was fighting for a country full of people they consider to be "fag enablers", so they should be able to protest a funeral because... Okay, I lost the reason already. Find out on your own.
