Westboro Baptist Church Plans To Picket Leonard Nimoy’s Funeral

[DonViejo]

Never able to let a high profile opportunity go by without latching on to it, the Westboro Baptist Church – and I use the word “church” only because it is how they identify themselves – is tweeting their plans to picket the funeral of Leonard Nimoy.

In their usual fashion, the Westboro lunatics are spewing their message of hatred all over the Twittersphere.

-snip-

If Nimoy’s family decides to hold a public service, it is doubtful that fans will allow the members of the hate group to upset the proceedings. In past efforts to wreak havoc at a Newtown, CT memorial, a biker gang kept the so-called religious group from interrupting the service. Likewise, Santa Monica residents chased away the church members when they attempted to picket Santa Monica High School in Los Angeles for being too tolerant of gay students.

Among the many vile tweets on their Twitter page, they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bag on the president as well, Obama having made the terrible mistake of paying tribute to Mr. Nimoy.

1. If Nimoy could, I'm sure he would laugh heartily at these foolish humans.

The only thing I worry about is if some group does something to keep these Westboro kooks away, that someone may be injured and this might mar the solemnity of the occasion.

3. My wife read this and hopes Trekkies (even non-trekkies) would show up to create a human barrier

facing those nut jobs holding up the Vulcan symbol. If we where in the area she would to teach those idiots a lesson.

6. That is a great idea

I forgot that their are a ton of Trekie fans out there. No way Westboro will get near anything.

5. Morons.

Don't they always say they will picket funerals and such.

11. They've been to NYC a couple times -

for some reason, they don't stay long (turn up sound).....

[HappyMe]

12. lol!

Gee, I wonder what they didn't like about Times Square? I hope the naked cowboy was there, along with the usual suspects.

7. Now that's IF they actually show up...

The number of times they've said they would picket is more than the actual number of times they showed up.

[gratuitous]

16. They've taken to that more and more

At this point, they appear to be content to issue their pronouncement, upset a lot of people, then never show up. Like their late and unlamented leader Fred Phelps (who apparently had a little sexual misconduct problem of his own - surprise, surprise), they seem to have a yellow streak approximately two parsecs wide.

8. baaaaaaaaaaaakaaa tare!

馬鹿たれ They are idiots.

9. They're worse than Donald Trump

complete attention hounds

13. Wonder if we will get to see the practical application of Klingon Bat'leths

As someone who practices Iaido and Kendo I was always curious

14. They are so ludicrous, they are a parody of homophobia. They can't believe this shit, it's surreal.

I wonder who the hell is paying them for these stunts?

Oh, wait, one of them has a job in a prison in their home state.

Taxpayers pay for this shit!

15. Oh, FFS!!
