My father and brother have attended a few funerals on their bikes in the past. The group they do it with is called the patriot riders. And from what I have seen and heard from them is its kinda like an escort to block out evan seeing these clowns. And they don't go on the cemetery property. So there is some distance and they just left their engines running no reving them up or anything just enough so the protesters couldn't be heard by family

Which city was it that the residents parked right behind each of these asshat's cars (well anyone with a Kansas LP) at the motel so they couldn't get out until just after the services? The Police picked up the members who showed up at the service for "questioning" about an "incident." Right after the funeral, the questioning determined they were in fact, not involved.

The article said some bikers plan on showing up and drowning out their drivel with their bikes. How hard would you cry if these bastards happened to "fall" on the concrete a few times returning to their cars? (or should I say laugh?) atriot:

NBPD might have to advise them to not be so clumsy in the future.

That was in Brandon, MS. Which i have to say for once i was proud to admit i'm originally from MS, and a neighboring city no less.

Ah, I see. I thought that it would be close enough to be an annoyance to the family and attendee's lol.

PGR attends ONLY at the request of the family. They DO go to the cemetery (again, ONLY with the blessings of the family). Until you see a procession of 30+ bikes flying American flags, you really don't appreciate the visual impact. Had I not had a meeting in Austin today, I *would* have been there, and would have been all too happy to have drowned out the jerks with my bike - or even blocked them with it and the 3 x 5 flag I fly on it for these processions.

I was already at a funeral here in SA or I would have gone with a bunch of motorcycle riding friends.

That's odd. I was at one in SA too. It wouldn't happen to have been a pilot's funeral would it?

I've seen a bike or two with the US and Marines flag. Even that few bikes looks badass in my opinion.

No. It was the guy on the motorcycle that was struck and killed on Potranco Rd. Sat night. Was on the news.

Thank God Nothing Happened. They failed to show up!

Funeral for Farias Unmarred by Protestors; Marine Laid to Rest | KGNB 1420 AM

The funeral went off with out a hitch. The only thing they did, was as a result of their visit, those that wanted to show their support were kept away also. However they did find a spot where they were well seen, to show their support.

I've seen the patriot riders out of Cut 'N Shoot escorting funerals. It's quite impressive. Every one of those riders is 10,000 times the human being than those Westboro scum.
