Westboro Church crazies to protest at funeral of 9 yo killed in AZ

[jemelanson]

The pseudo-Christians pseudo-humans are going to AZ to take their hate filled protests to the funeral of the 9yo Christina Green. The people of Tucson are planning a peaceful, silent angel wing wall to protect the mourners from the hate filled protesters.



"We want to surround them, in a non-violent way, to say that our community is united," Gilmer said. "We're a peaceful haven."
"You don't mess with Tucson," said Gilmer, 26, who described it as "a little dot of blue in a sea of red."
But political persuasions don't matter, she said. Republicans, Democrats, independents, right, left and center -- they've all offered their support. Forty-two people have signed up on a Facebook page called "Build Angel Wings for the Westboro Funeral Counter-Protest and Meeting" and more than 4,500 have signed up on another page to "Show Support for the Families of the Tucson Shooting Victims.

1. Let's hope there is no violent rhetoric in this thread

calling for the beat-down of people exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

And the whole No True Scotsman thing gets a little old. They are Christians. They have plenty of support for their position in the bible.

4. Even these scum don't deserve violence inflicted on them

And they do make a substantial part of their income (or at least they did at one time) suing people for assault. And yes they should be allowed to. In America even the worst scum get equal protection under the law. That's what is great about this country.

2. How could a 9 year old girl have anything to do with god hating homosexuality?

I think it's pretty clear that they are desperately trying to remain relevant by protesting whatever will get them on the news.

3. I hope they bring EVERY member of their 'church'.

.... for obvious reasons.

6. And what would that reason be? n/t
