Putting the "boo" in "boo-yah" --
A federal jury today awarded the father of a fallen Marine $2.9 million in compensatory damages after finding an anti-gay Kansas church and three of its leaders liable for invasion of privacy and intent to inflict emotional distress for picketing the Marine’s funeral in 2006.
The jury was to begin deliberating the size of punitive damages after receiving further instructions, although U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett noted the size of the compensatory award “far exceeds the net worth of the defendants,” according to financial statements filed with the court.
Dude, I've got lint that far exceeds the worth of those pieces of genetic refuse.

I can't even begin to try calling him christian.
He fancies his group a church.
I would describe it more of a cult.
He thinks he's doing God's will,
while going against everything the Bible teaches.
Why haven't you guys run them out of your state yet? The rest of us want to get started running him out of the country!

Believe me, I've seen more than enough of these people, and there's a part of me that wouldn't mind a healthy dose of mob justice. But eventually I guess it'll do to see them undone by the system they've tried so hard to game for their own vile purposes. I have to believe the law must be capable of dealing with this, this most nakedly malignant sickness afflicting humanity. Yes, it takes longer, but we don't have to surrender to hate to win.

Sounds like a job for Jack Thompson.
Maybe if we clue him in to defending Phelps (using his usual tactic, from your description), we'll not only get him away from annoying the video game industry, but also help concentrate the evil into one spot. We'll waste less ammunition that way...
