westboro baptist at it again

[devilmaster]

According to cnn, everyones favorite protesting wackos in kansas are going to florida for the memorial to the two kids killed by their mother....
:mad: :irked:

[racer2c]

The church, which is not a true Baptist religious denomination but a group comprised largely of family members recruited by founder Fred Phelps, a pastor and disbarred lawyer, plans to protest the memorial service because the murdered teens' father is in the military and was stationed overseas at the time.

Do we get to go and picket their funerals if someone decides to go all 2nd Amendment on their @sses one of these days?

I have a very low tolerance for most radical theists as it is, but these clowns are pretty close to the bottom of the barrel...

[Napoleon]

I never got around to posting a link but in the last week or two they were in Park City, Utah and a bunch of kids from the local high school turned out to counter protest them

[opinionated ow]

The Southern Baptist Convention, the National Baptist Convention and the American Baptist Churches of the USA should launch a defamation case against these fw's.

[SteveH]

Makes you wonder where do they get the money to do all this? I'm pretty sure the church is very small. They continually travel all over the US and obviously are not working when doing so.

Answer my own question - probably donations from redneck racist homophobes. Probably don't even need to be a redneck.

It makes me wonder if the people who donate know who their donating to.

Never underestimate the power of a good hate wrapped in self-righteous indignation.

[Ankf00]

they make money to keep doing this b/c they sue the **** out of everyone, municipalities, LE orgs, enraged citizens, etc. who interfere with their legal actions.

[Elmo T]

Maybe they'd go away if the cable news outlets stopped covering them. :rolleyes:

[cameraman]

They were all over town during Sundance. Hell they even picketed one of the local high schools for some damned reason. The appropriate response is wgaf.

[Insomniac]

"westboro baptist" should be a censored word on the forum. :)

[TravelGal]

I wonder if the Southern Poverty Law Center has these birds on their radar. They fight all sorts of extremist groups.

[cameraman]

They have for quite some time now

For those with a sense of humor seek out the Eastboro Baptist Church site.

Allow me to summarize:

So what you're saying is if an entire group of despicable, litigious, self centered suckholes were to disappear one night into the cold dark prairie, then no one would be in a hurry to look for them, the cable networks would finally stop covering them, and no one would file a lawsuit?

I look forward to their next roadtrip. :thumbup:

On the road again (http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/03/westboro_baptist_church_plans.html)...



Westboro Baptist Church, the controversial group that just won a free speech Supreme Court case related to picketing soldiers' funerals, says it is planning to protest at the funeral for seven Perry County children who died in a fire Tuesday night.

Reporting this is a win for them either way. They announce they are coming and they get the press - no need to even pack the car. :rolleyes:

[Ripped]

Karma, being the bitch she is, will one day deal a healthy blow to these people. I only hope it is caught on tape.

The media should give them the "streaker" treatment. Don't report on what they plan to do or actually do.

Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers came home Thursday, April 14 2011, his body borne upon a sea of waving American flags and hands held tightly in salute for the Brandon, MS Marine killed in Afghanistan earlier this month.

(note: video is sped up in places to condense 14 minutes into 5.)

Westboro nutjubs were stopped by the locals.




A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protesters) ran his mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his ass waxed. Police were called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about what had happened.

Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things that were put into place that most will never know about and at great expense to the county.

Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over. Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the Kansas plated cars could get out.

A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out, after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they were allowed to go on about their business.

Rankin deserves a hand in how they handled this situation.

They learned those techniques when dealing with those desegregationists that came down from the North.

The MFers protested outside a local school just south of here in Hilliard (or as I refer to it Hickyard :gomer:). :saywhat: :shakehead

Here is how the Foo Fighter's handled them:

(I will see them this coming Tuesday. Also, 20 years since Nevermind).

Edit - I didn't see this until after the original post but the first link explains why Westboro was there and the second is the video it refers to which NSFW.

They're at it again. They're going to picket Wheldon's funeral to protest his driving the "traitorous" National Guard car. :shakehead

[Gnam]

Block their view of the funeral by parking a couple of buses or transporters in front of them, or on them.

[G.]

What's that saying making the facebook rounds?

"When I die, I hope the Westboro Baptist church protests at my funeral. Because that means, I've done something awesome."

[BarillaGirl]

They're at it again. They're going to picket Wheldon's funeral to protest his driving the "traitorous" National Guard car. :shakehead

Because God loveth the picketers, and therefore shall they find their place in Heaven?

Boy, are some people in for a surprise. :shakehead

There going to be in my neck of the woods protesting at a funeral of one of those 3 high school kids that were shot this week.

^^^cops used to deal with a situation where 99.9999999999999999 % of the people thought it was wrong by just beating the **** out of the party in question and escorting them out of town. I suppose they can't do that anymore. :(

I would prefer to use the Navy's new railgun on them, but this would work too.



Japan invents speech-jamming gun that silences people mid-sentence

The device works by recording its target's speech then firing their words back at them with a 0.2-second delay, which affects the brain's cognitive processes and causes speakers to stutter before silencing them completely.
