More about Albert Snyder and Protesting Funeral Cars
On Wednesday, we introduced a story about Albert Snyder, a father of a fallen soldier, who is doing everything in his power to silence the hate group that protests at funerals of soldiers. They stand outside the funeral home or church and taunt, yell and scream hate at funeral cars as they pass by. Snyder recently won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the church which has about 71 members.
Snyder has no problem going public with his fight. He wants a law that prevents these protestors from bothering families trying to have funerals for their sons or daughters who have died in service to their country. He even has a website – MatthewSnyder.org – encouraging people to write to their elected officials to ask them to pass legislation that would prevent this from happening.
Unfortunately, Snyder’s actions have not stopped the hate group from making plans of protesting other funerals. They spread their message of hate to at least two other funerals this month and they are using recent publicity as ammunition to keep doing what they are doing.
“I think initially they’re going to come back and do something just to prove their point,” said Snyder about their most recent protests, “but I think in the long run we’re going to have a tremendous impact on that.”
