Westboro Baptist Church

"This is judgment day for the Westboro Baptist Church"

BALTIMORE - Albert Snyder might have financially immobilized the Kansas church that picketed at his son’s military funeral to intentionally inflict emotional distress on him and his family.
The federal jury Wednesday awarded the York, Pa., resident $8 million in punitive damages on top of $2.9 million in compensatory damages.
....
The amount “far exceeds the net worth” of the militant, fire-and-brimstone Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, said U.S. District Court Judge Richard Bennett in Baltimore City.
