The city of Bellevue in the state of Nebraska has decided to pay thousands of
dollars to a controversial protestor who was accused of letting her son stand on
an American flag during a funeral for a soldier three years ago.
Shirley Phelps Roper is a member of that sinful church in Kansas (Westboro Baptist.) Now most of the people who below to that church are part of the Roper family. I guess they are the only ones who can put up with each other. That church goes to and pickets soldier's funerals. Roper sued Bellevue
after her arrest in 2007 for violating Nebraska's flag desecration law. Nebraska
shelved the law, saying it's unconstitutional. That church also has picket other places such as the funeral for the late Dr. Jerry Falwell. They also almost picketed the funeral for the Amish children killed in a school shooting - some years back. So we all can see this is a group which preaches and believes in hating others.
The city of Bellevue is settling with Roper, for $17,000. Roper in a phone interview told KMTV in Omaha the settlement is just the beginning. Good job Bellevue helps those who preach hate, based on what I saw in the news the majority of tax payers in this town don't agree with what their leaders did in this case. It is also very troubling as a follower of the Lord that people get the idea this is what Jesus is all about. That is not correct at all. By the way if I had a son who stepped on the flag his butt would be on fire and I for sure wouldn't encourage him to do that act unlike this lady. If you like to read more about this story People in
