If these good folks think that they are going to get even one, bent nickle out of Fred Phelps' happy, little thundermug-full of degenerates, they really have been out in the noon-day sun for too long. quote:
Associated Press
MUNDY TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A Genesee County community is billing members of an anti-gay Kansas church $5,000 for seeking police protection for a protest at the funeral of a Marine killed in Iraq, then failing to show up, officials said.
A church member said the bill is a joke and will be ignored if it arrives.
This Shirley Phelps-Roper chick must be as nasty a piece of work as her dad: quote:
Officials said the church members asked for special police protection and broke an agreement for security service when they failed to arrive.
"They didn't even give me a courtesy call to say they weren't coming," township police Chief David Guigear told The Flint Journal.
Westboro church member and lawyer Shirley Phelps-Roper said group members bought airline tickets but said the Holy Ghost told them at the last minute to stay home.
Police "took an oath, and their duty is to keep the peace," Phelps-Roper said.
"If they do anything as foolish" as sending a bill, she said, "I'll laugh all the way to the trash can."
Me, I'd like to see her laugh all the way to Small Claims Court to explain why her 'church' is such a low-life deadbeat.
Any of you guys that are hip to the law: might Mundy Township have a decent case? Or was my first take on it correct?

Too bad their delusions don't tell them to stay home more often.
They may not get any money, but perhaps future towns will not provide special police protection for these "people".... |

I just had an interesting thought....
Old Fred is getting along on his journey through madness, and I understand that his health isn't all that good. He might be about due to go tits-up 'most any day now. I wonder what his funeral will be like.....
Maybe what goes around, comes around, eh?

| Whether the township is entitled to the money or not will depend on the nature of the (hopefully written) agreement they made with Phelps' brood. If they agreed to pay money for failing to show up, then they owe the money (and I don't think five grand will go to small claims court). |

Maybe, but who knows who is waiting in the wings to take over...could be even worse (though I'm not sure how) |
