…check out my buddy Mike over at Ocular Fusion. He writes concerning the funerals of Nicole Ford, Tanesha Hill, Christine Collier and Crystalle McCrary, the Lee High students who passed away as a result of last week’s horrific bus wreck. Note Huntsville Mayor Loretta Spencer’s reaction to those who are choosing to protest at the funerals:

Protesters from “that church” are in Huntsville and are picketing the funerals. The Huntsville Times’ response to their presence was a mere mention in the Nicole Ford story. Huntsville Mayor Loretta Spencer confined the protesters to a small, cordoned-off space 100 yards away from the funerals. She then proceeded to park city buses in front of the self-appointed prophets so that those arriving at the funerals couldn’t see them. Across the street, anti-protesters held up signs reading, “God is love,” “Judge not and ye shall not be judged,” and “Let them grieve in peace.”

I like Loretta’s style. I heart Huntsville.

Well said, Mike. I heart Loretta and our fair town.
