TOPEKA, Kan. -- A controversial Kansas church is changing its protest plan after an incident in Oklahoma last week.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church said they want revenge after someone slashed the tires on their van during visit to protest a military funeral in McAlester. The group said it plans to now target funerals for Oklahoma children.

*Sharpens Stanley blade*
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

I was going to say "mindless revenge", but it's anything but mindless. It's thoroughly vindictive, and designed to provoke the most emotional response possible.

fuck em, who cares at this point. They protested DIO's funeral for fuck sakes, why anyone gives them any media attention is beyond me.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

:this:

attention Is what they want, and what the media gives them. Somebody needs to steal that by doing something that garners positive attention and takes it away from them. There's a reason why they don't protest gay events more often...because they would get buried by the gay community. :lol:

I care.
What about the families who will now have these assholes tormenting them at their child's funeral?

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
