Westboro Baptist Church 'graces' us with their presence?

[Mother Goose]

Anyone own a Barrett?

?

As with all groups like this, I'm curious as to what they're trying to accomplish. Not that reason necessarily applies here, but there has to be an end goal in mind doesn't there?

They think they are doing "god's work". That's why religion is so dangerous!!!!

[usmcab35]

i could get a barrett lol glad im in training during this, i would be one in the back of the squad car. My buddy who died in iraq with us, had his funeral protested by they retards, his dad and uncle beat the snot out of a few and went to jail.. now if we could set up something like they did in brandon, mi that would be pretty sweet!!!

Self-preservation is a goal.
The danger of all institutions is that they take on a life of their own and like all that lives, will do whatever it thinks will perpetuate itself. This one is sustaining itself through controversy and litigation.
My take at least...
I could be completely off-base here...

lol @ the pussification and pacification of our citizens. How many message boards are having and HAVE had this same exact discussion all with the same conclusion?

Bunch of fucking Ghandis all of a sudden. If one of these people, or ANY other person were at your parents funeral spewing hatred toward your parent and shouting how happy they are that your parent is dead in the name of faggotry, would you wine like a bitch on the internet? I don't think so.

You can have all of the reasonable and rational discussions you want about their right to free speach, the right to assemble, and how you should "just ignore them". Those discussons are not doing anything to stop them from their disgusting protests. But it does make you feel good that you can gather a posse of sheep that agree with you, so that has to count for something.

I for one want to snap their jaws off their faces so they have to protest with sign language. God hates sign language.

[Kim-n-Dean]

Doesn't take much to get you goin', does it?!?

You rollin' up to Hooter's tonight?

He'll be protesting across the street.

[salsashark]

Or we can all stand up, beat our chests, talk about what we would do, and then do nothing... yep, that sounds constructive.

The Guard is riding today, see my other thread if interested.

Will you do it?

Has anyone from the WBC ever died? I'm curious because they pretty much attribute all deaths to 'god hating fags'. What's their excuse when one of them dies?

When someone finally opens fire or drives their car through the WBC crowd, they're just gonna have to suck it up and admit that they are fags, or adulterers, or whatever else they're bitching about this week!

They'll probably turn their back on the dead and blame them for being closet fags or doing something that wasn't within their beliefs and thats WHY they died...

[modette99]

I'm not doing anything...but if it was a member of my direct family (like a son or daughter) yes I would snap, a few would die and I would be happy to go to Prison....but I would take as many as I could before going to prison or being shot myself. Main goal would be the whack job of a pastor they have and whoever else might try and step in should he disappear.

I like the story on the MS town blocking in vehicles...yep talk with tow companies before hand. Thats probably the most peaceful way to stop them from attending in large groups. That or just give them ALL flats the night before. Yeah, I like the block idea...all your out of is a tow...assuming a tow driver even comes and bothers with you if they knew what was up...or cut you a discount for what you did ;-)

As horrible as they are and as bad as you want to "snap their jaws off", by confronting them you are giving them EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT.

Read this: http://www.npr.org/2011/03/02/134198...baptist-church

Some quotes from the article that are relevant to how you should behave around them

They picket funerals to make people angry, she says: They want people to reject God and be condemned to hell. "Our job is laid out," she says, in comments sprinkled with biblical references. "We are supposed to blind their eyes, stop up their ears and harden their hearts so that they cannot see, hear or understand, and be converted and receive salvation."

Eleven of Fred Phelps' 13 children have law degrees. Four are estranged from the family, and most of the rest live in the family compound and practice law.
"They have a very well-respected law firm in Topeka," Sherman says. "People in town said, 'Well, we don't like them, but if we want to win a case, we'll go to them.' "
Church spokeswoman Phelps-Roper says their booming employment and family law practice pays the bills for their travels across the country, when they shout their anti-gay message.

the Supreme Court has decided that Westboro's right to free speech trumps the right of families to bury their loved ones undisturbed.

What I take from this is: They are good lawyers and know exactly what they are doing. They are trying to piss you off, and they are succeeding. They are hoping you will do something so they can sue your ass off (because no matter what you are in the legal wrong) and fund their crazy activities.

I would love to kick the crap out of them and if they showed up at one of my loved-ones funerals I'd take a lot of people to restrain me. But, ignoring these fucking wacko's is the only legal way of responding to them. (Patriot Guard FTMFW!)

lol, found this site: The 30 best anti-wbc signs: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-3...urch-protest-s

[brennahm]

That's awesome the small town was able to keep them away. THAT's an example to be followed.

[Kim-n-Dean]

I realize they're just "claims", but it's interesting how many people 'claim' they would throw their entire life away because some dip shits said something about your family!! Kinda funny, really!

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

We should dress up like Ninjas, bust into their hotel rooms at night, administer some serious beatings to them, and disappear into the night!

[WolFeYeZ]

We should pass out condoms, kindly asking them to cease any further reproduction with a nice little note

[dragos13]

Why don't we just fight fire with fire!

What I mean is, get a group of people and make the funniest fuckin signs we can think of. All the best shit we can come up with making fun of their beliefs and talking shit about THEIR church. Go out there and peacefully stand with their group. See if we can't get them pissed off at us and make them do something stupid.

Of course this will take a group of people with great self control so I might have to stand across the street and just take pictures. I think the idea of kicking their teeth in will end badly for us so we definitely need another strategy (though it would be damn satisfying).
