Article Source: McClatchyA notoriously anti-gay church plans to picket Saturday’s funeral for Charlie and Braden Powell and will be counter-protested by Occupy Seattle.
Margie Phelps, daughter of the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church’s founder, tweeted Wednesday night that the church will attend the boys' memorial service. The protest is to "remind" Gov. Chris Gregoire "they died because of her rebellion," a reference to her support of same-sex marriages.
In a later tweet referencing a story about Washington legalizing same-sex marriage, Phelps wrote “This is why God’s cursed you w Josh Powells blowing up kids.”
COH Please.

Not to mention everything was done "by the book" and this still happened.
This is just like putting salt on an open wound.
