According to the linked article in the Stars & Stripes Newspaper, Albert Snyder the father of a Marine killed in Iraq whose funeral was picketed by members of the Westboro Baptist Church has been ordered to pay the protestors' court costs.
http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?secti..."On Friday, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., ordered Albert Snyder to pay $16,510 to Fred Phelps, leader of the Westboro Baptist Church. The group has picketed numerous soldiers' funerals since 2001, including Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's funeral in 2006, using anti-gay and anti-military signs and slogans."
Snyder sued the group in 2007 and a jury awarded him $5 million in damages for invasion of privacy and emotional distress - the linked YouTube shows an interview between Bill O'Reilly and Mr. Snyder after the initial award. As the appeals court has overturned that decision, Mr. Snyder must now pay Phelps or the matter will go into collections, and Snyder could lose his property or wages.
Snyder has set up a fund to pay the court costs, accessible through:
