Westboro Baptist Church counter protest - Richmond, Va today

[arcadian]

Mothra attacks!

Mothra and the Madame Hate-filled Butterfly attacked the Richmond riverfront today spewing their hate-filled message. Naa, it's just those crazy loons from the Westboro Baptist Church. They "protested" the Virginia Holocaust Memorial, two other Jewish Centers and a High school today. I met them head-on and confronted them at three locations. The Jewish man in the photos just wanted to talk with them and they responded with anti-semitic epithets.

1. I am LOVING the counter protestors!

I especially like the "This sign is neon" and "I has doodleboppers" signs. Nice job there! :hi:

2. There were a lot more counter protesters than just those pictured.

3. Four people "protesting"

And they had major press coverage, a police escort all over town and hundreds of people turned out to see what was what. In my opinion, these Westboro people are scamming everybody, they have their hate machine so finely tuned, their message gets out and the money starts pouring in. You gotta figure in a nation of 300+ million people I'm guessing they have found other like minded people who agree with them and send them money. It's a circus, a spectacle merely for the sake of being a spectacle. when I saw them I just couldn't believe that they are actually like that in real life. My opinion: scammers.
