Westboro Baptist Church (Phelps Family) demonstrates in Arlington

Not much to say about covering the Westboro Baptist Church protest Sunday morning. I think the photos speak of the craziness for themselves. An interesting note about the family, they are actually vacationing in North Texas and this is how they decided to spend their time. The story can be read on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's website here: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/07/11/2327719/counterprotests-drown-out-westboro.html
