Snyder sued Westboro Baptist Church because its members waved signs saying "God hates Dags" and "God Hates the USA", defiling the funeral of his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who had been killed in Iraq.  The decision by a federal jury in Baltimore was that the group intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the family.  However, this decision was later overturned and the mourning father is now ordered to pay Westboro Baptist Church, instead.  The father whom Westboro Baptist Church would not allow to greive the loss of his son in peace, must now pay Westboro Baptist Church $16,510.80!
