Only 100 Feet...........
But it's an improvement.

Saw this today at Innocent Bystanders.-

Funeral protesters must back off
"ST. LOUIS — Members of an anti-gay fundamentalist group known for their protests of military funerals will have to stay a bit farther away from such services under a measure Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law Sunday as the Illinois State Fair observed its Veterans Day.

In contrast with the shouting members of the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church who often engage in outside funerals, Quinn quietly signed off on the “Let Them Rest In Peace Act,” which pushes protestors back another 100 feet to 300 feet — the equivalent of a football field’s length — at military funerals. Protests remain banned 30 minutes before and after funeral services"

Damn, I hate those bastards. A pox on the lot of them all.

Gratuitous Picture for a Monday Evening-
That just had to hurt.
