Wow... the idiots are thick today.

It's likely that the funeral will be in either California or Australia. In the former case, they will have to face Governor Arnie who won't put up with it, and the latter is too far away for it to be likely that they will follow through with it.

I hear there is a memorial ceremony in the USA, and the actual funeral is in Australia.

So they might try to picket the memorial ceremony rather than the actual funeral.

I'm fairly certain Australia won't let them in.

My concern is for any American ceremonies.

WBC are scum.

I personally feel bad for his friends and family who have to endure the media circus.

Oh, absolutely. :( It's disgusting the shit the media's throwing around with no basis in fact behind it.
