Title of the Article: Hateful,but not illegal

Date of the Article: October 06,2010

This article was about how the group from Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church
unquestionably second hands Matthew A Snyder’s funeral who got assassinated in Iraq March
2006. They secondhand his funeral because they wanted to convince Americans that the
Military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan was a sign that God was punishing them for acceptance
of homosexuality. They thought that Snyder was gay, but in reality he was not. The people
responsible for this problem is the Federal. This problem began after, when the Military deaths
happened. How the problem was handed, was by the supreme court.

Dissent - the expression or holding of opinions at variance with those previously, commonly, or

The positions held by the people in this article are the. How I feel about this event is that i
think that it was unfair to Matthew’s family because all they wanted to do was have a funeral for
him but they could because of the Westboro Baptist Church. How this event affects me is by
knowing that Matthew’s family never really had any peace because of what happened. What I
could do about this problem is figure out a way to help out people that need to have their voice
heard. What I am willing to do about this problem is go out their and protest for those who need
their voice heard.

This event is significant to me because I care how people are affected in situations like these.
Yes, I think that this event can be part of a larger issue. The reason why I think that, is because
people are getting hurt for what other people are doing or saying. The role should be someone
who knows how to handle the problem and help the people around them to face their’s.
