If a religious fanatic pickets a funeral and there were no cameras, did anyone notice?

Snark aside, maybe they were doing such things prior to all the attention they got -- but I bet they're doing it more now, and maybe getting donations from other like-minded nutters. When you get down to it, they're trolls -- and the media is breaking rule # 1 of dealing with trolls: don't feed them!

My point was simply that they did it before there were cameras so there must be something beyond just attention whoring for the cameras.

That's where the "nutters" bit comes in.
