Westboro planning to protest [View all]

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -
Westboro Baptist Church, the church known for protesting at soldier's funerals, will be in the Midlands for the funerals of two fallen service members.

According to the Topeka, Kansas-based church's website, WBC members will be at the memorials for 1st Lt. Ryan Rawl and Spc. John D. Meador II.

Rawl and Meador were among three South Carolina National Guardsmen killed in a suicide bomb attack last week in Afghanistan.

Does anyone know if there will be a wall to obscure the families view?
