Here's the story...
McALESTER, Okla. | Members of the Topeka church that protests at military funerals may have found themselves in the wrong town last weekend.
Shortly after finishing their protest at the funeral Saturday of Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey of McAlester, a half-dozen protesters from Westboro Baptist Church found that someone had slashed two tires on their minivan.
To make matters worse, as their minivan slowly hobbled away on two flat tires, with a McAlester police car following behind, the protesters were unable to find anyone in town who would repair their vehicle, according to police.
The minivan finally pulled over several blocks away in a shopping center parking lot, where AAA was called. A flatbed service truck arrived and loaded up the minivan. Assistant Police Chief Darrell Miller said the minivan was taken to Walmart for repairs.

Funeral Protesters Now Targeting Oklahoma Children's Funerals Posted: Nov 17, 2010 1:28 PM CST Updated: Nov 17, 2010 1:36 PM CST Protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church at an Owasso serviceman's funeral earlier this year. Protesters from a Kansas church who have gained attention through picketing at the funerals of fallen military servicemen are now turning their attention to protesting at the funerals of children to retaliate for their tires being slashed at a McAlester serviceman's funeral last week. Members of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas will be in Burneyville in southern Oklahoma today. That's where a funeral is being held for eight-year-old Jalen Wolfe, who died in an accident at the Love County Fairgrounds last week. On the WBC website, members say they are protesting because of the vandalism they suffered over the weekend while protesting at the funeral of McAlester serviceman Jason McCluskey. They say quote "the Lord curses them by killing Oklahoma's children and casting them into Hell." Furthermore, their website reads "Thank God For More Dead Children In Oklahoma!".
