Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs

[HarveyDarkey]

Shortly after protesting the funeral of Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey in Oklahoma, members of the Westboro Baptist Church headed back to their minivan, only to discover that its front and rear passenger-side tires had been slashed. To make matters worse, when they drove into town they were unable to find anyone who would repair it. Ha ha.

1. Lets hear those people who were denouncing a restaurant for refusing to serve TSA agents...

denounce this.

[Drale]

9. The difference is TSA agents are doing their jobs

they don't decide protocol, these Westboro bastards are some of the worst people that currently live on this earth.

[speltwon]

13. I agree

there is no comparison whatsoever. None. Fwiw, I have always been treated with respect by TSA agents. And they don't set policy.

[bluestate10]

22. I don't have issues with TSA employees.

Always been treated with respect by them. Several even worked their asses off once to get back to me an important item that I left at a gate.

[Modern_Matthew]

29. Following orders is never a valid excuse. nt

[Drale]

31. Not when people die its not

but in this case, I think I can forgive them. I have never had any problems with going through security at any airports, and I suspect that the only people who do start the problems by having an attitude problem.

[JVS]

32. The issue at hand is not whether WBC or TSA are comparable, it's whether it's OK for a business to..

deny them service based on their actions.

[Modern_Matthew]

27. +1! Hypocrites are in abundance. nt

[leftstreet]

2. Ah, the scotus decision at work

When people can't access the judiciary for grievances, they tend to take matters into their own hands

:banghead:

[Webster Green]

10. Not exactly.

This happened several months ago. I remember it.

[murielm99]

11. Omaha Steve posted a thread about the moral

underground.

I guess the people who refused to repair the vehicle may fall into that category.

[speltwon]

14. They can access the judiciary.

However, the judiciary is restrained by that pesky constitution. They ruled (8-1) correctly.

[MineralMan]

3. "We don't serve your kind here," sort of takes on a new

meaning, I guess. :rofl:

[jbnow]

18. Common standard "No shirt, no soul, no service" nt

[rrneck]

4. I shouldn't laugh. But I did. ny

[tosh]

5. Again??

:rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Ooooh. Hard to drive that way.

If all four were flat, the car would at least be level.

[TommyO]

7. I absolutely cannot condone the actions of those who slashed the tires

Those who refused to help these hate-mongers however are a different story, my hats off to those who refused to assist these hate-mongers.

[Lindsay]

12. I dunno. I've about reached the point

where if money = speech, maybe slashing tires does as well.

[jdlh8894]

8. You can't repair a "slashed" tire! n/t

[TicketyBoo]

15. Maybe nobody

would sell them new ones?

[TicketyBoo]

16. It happened last November.

For all you Walmart haters, Walmart took care of the van for them.

[flvegan]

17. I don't care how old the story is, I just love it.

[PBS Poll-435]

19. It is what it is...

Hilarious.

[FLPanhandle]

21. +1

:)

[Snoutport]

20. They should be shunned.

Old style.

[Vehl]

23. I would not shed any tears for them nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

34. me either n/t

[Obamanaut]

24. Vandalism can be condoned if it is perpetrated upon those with whom

we disagree.

I did not know that.

[Drale]

26. I think that we do more then disagree with Westboro

This is one of those few black and white issues. They are wrong and they are only hurting society. They give nothing and take everything from society and in my opinion, that is not covered by the 1st amendment. Now I've been overruled by the SCOTUS but thats still my opinion.

[Obamanaut]

28. OK. Or don't like. Still, it appears that some are filled with glee about

this act of vandalism.

[underseasurveyor]

35. Yes it does bring a very large wry smile to my face

and perhaps those people should thank their god that that's all that happened to them.

[Hugabear]

40. Honestly, if the earth opened up and swallowed that "church", I would rejoice

The only thing better than that would be if they were all inside when it happened.

[JI7]

25. i don't think it's right but i don't feel bad for them , but i'm waiting for one of their own to die

so others can do to them what they do to others when mourning.

[jillan]

30. Maybe Justice Roberts can do it for them.

[Canuckistanian]

33. Again? This just happened a few months ago

Still, it would take a lot of slashed tires to put these guys out of commission.

[progressoid]

39. I think it's the same one.

It says it was posted about three months ago.

[lpbk2713]

36. LMAO --- There must be some Biblical verse that applies very well here ...

But I'm not that well versed in the Bible so insert your own.


:rofl:

[Initech]

37. Fred can have his hate speech. Doesn't change that we still hate him.

[alphafemale]

38. Slashing a tire is criminal vandalism.

The same effect can be gained with a well placed toothpick. And removed in twenty minutes. As in NO EVIDENCE.

....donaskmehowIknowthis...shhh
