Protesters greet those from Westboro Baptist Church in St. Charles

Demonstrators wait for members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, waving American flags on the steps of the St. Charles city government building in St. Charles, Missouri on January 6, 2011. The church which preaches against all form of sin, is known for showing up at military funerals to drive home their anti-gay point. St. Charles County has passed a law that the Westboro Baptist Church demonstrators must be atleast 300 feet from any military funeral or burial. The law is now being challanged in Federal court by the ACLU. UPI/Bill Greenblatt
