Arizona lawmakers meanwhile have approved a measure to bar a controversial church from picketing the funerals of the attack victims. The Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church has said it will protest outside Christina Taylor Green’s funeral because it believes the attack was God’s punishment for “idolatrous America.” The church has previously demonstrated outside military funerals to promote their view that military deaths are God’s punishment for homosexuality in the United States.
