State Senator Johnny Ray Turner says that Floyd County is prepared should a church group from Kansas decide to protest the funeral of a Floyd County soldier scheduled to take place on Friday. The Westboro Baptist Church is known for disrupting military funerals all over the country but Senator Turner says that, should the church come to Floyd County to protest the funeral of Lance Corporal Jonathan Thornsberry, they will be met with police from several agencies. Thornsberry died last week from combat related injuries suffered in Iraq. Services for Lance Corporal Thornsberry are scheduled for Friday morning at the little Rosa Old Regular Baptist church at McDowell.
