[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 128682, member: 1697"] Now that you explained, yes, I did hear of them, vaguely. I was in Marine Corps League Aux and me and husband would go do color guard etc at KIA services.....I think there was rumbling about this group- they did not show up at any of the services we did go to, at least not while I was there...but one day we had 2 services the same day, and half our group went to one, the other half of us went to another...and I think maybe this weird hate group DID show up at the service I did NOT go to. Altho, being in the midst of Marines, I paid it no nevermind, and I did not have all my kids with me, and we did not personally KNOW the deceased. I know I shouldn't let them intimidate me, BUT.....it would be me, my kids my little brother, my nephew....and my brother and nephew DO know the deceased and I am afraid that with the grief being so strong, and it already being so high emotion, if there is some bizarre nasty confrontation, it would cause further trauma to mourners.....and I just cannot be the one to put my kids, my much younger baby brother or my nephew into such a situation. The grief and shock are bad enough, protestors and possible who knows what? Nope, not good. I am a chicken, a mouse, non confrontational, and a wimp. A scaredy cat. Buffy has a hard enough time going out of the house, I try to only take her places where I have a pretty good surety things will not turn nasty. Grief is one thing, hate is altogether a different story. I think we will simply stick to PCs classmates service close to him, and leave it at that. AT least my brother and my nephew have each other. and their friends. That does help them. At least they will not be going totally alone. [/QUOTE]
