Cross Post From AO Board:
Ags -
One of my long time family friends is a Harris County Sheriffs Deputy and he has told me that there has been word put out that Westboro Baptist is going to protest the funeral for Officer Goforth's the deputy who was shot at the gas station in Houston. This is the last thing the Houston Law Enforcement Community needs while they mourn the loss of a brother. Aggies have a history of helping those in need and standing up against these crazies. Let's show the world again that we are a force for good.
I'm looking for volunteers to make a silent Maroon Wall around the viewing and possible funeral depending on if they come through with their threat. Even if they don't show up we can still be a respectful show of support for the grieving officers and their family. Address and other details are below and I will update as I have more info. Pass this along to other Aggies and let's make sure that the cops have their time to grieve without attention seekers and lunatics parading around.
Location -
Second Baptist Church
6400 Woodway Dr
Houston, TX 77057
Viewing Starts 10 AM Friday, suggest we get there early to establish a position
Funeral follows at the same location at 11 AM
Will post more details as I get them.
