Royal Airforce Uniform Ban, What the hell were they thinking? Options

[Robert]

"ROYAL Air Force (RAF) personnel at an air base in England have been ordered not to wear their uniforms in public following a spate of threats and abuse from civilians."
"The ban was reportedly imposed after a seven-month review of incidents involving personnel who lived in the city and had been abused in the streets while wearing their uniforms when they were off-duty. "

That nutcase lives in Topeka Ks.
About 10 years ago my sister-in-law moved there from texas for a job.
Unknowingly she bought a house right across the street from the house/church of this guy.
She thought she was getting a really good deal on the house until she moved in an found out about the freak show across the street.
It took forever to sell the house even at a loss.

One of the famous website hacks involves the Phelps and his website
godhatesfags.com
In 1999 someone hacked the domain name an made it point to another site called
godlovesfags.com
The funniest part is there was a story on the fake site about how he changed his mind after
experiencing the joys of "hot man love."

They finally got what they deserved a few months ago. Losing a 11 million dollar lawsuit brought by a father of a soldier who died in Iraq, after Phelps and clan protested at the funeral.
