Their goal is to incite enough anger that someone crosses the picket line. Once that happens, they can sue city officials for not providing adequate protection. They have won lawsuits all over the country. The worst thing people can do is get angry at this bunch. Yet, so many people fall for it.

When someone protests a funeral we should be angry. Whether or not its for "religious" reasons or if its a scam it's still despicable.

it is, but that is what they are hoping happens. If someone charges them and crosses the picket line, they will sue and they will win.

here they are in Moore, OK as a crowd erupts and charges them. They have since sued the city of Moore and have been awarded thousands of dollars. They will definitely come back to Moore and these morons actually validated that organization. Look at the silly dude in the Captain America costume. The smart thing to do and the best way to stick it to this scam is to do nothing and ignore them.

These people coming out to counter protest them are not the brightest.
