You guys have class

A fellow "Aggie", Ryan Slezia, came up with a plan to create a human wall to block any protesters from getting near the funeral, and invited fellow Texas A&M students and alum to join. One participant tweeted that over 650 people showed up in maroon shirts to create a "maroon wall". It appears that the Westboro protestors never showed up.

Yes. I drove past, beeped, and waved. There were enough of them to encircle any WBCers who showed up.

That's awesome.

WBC threatened on their website to show up at ceremonies recently for one of our home town fallen heroes. They didn't come (thankfully), but we didn't have any great solutions in place either.

Nice job, Aggies.

Great job by the A&M students!!!

I'm thinking about getting a road-trip together to interrupt their "church services" for awhile...

Activism can be a good thing, but these peopls just need to go away.
