Re: Westbro Baptist Church Cheers Child Deaths
A neighbor had a really loud car stereo that he refused to turn down when he sat in the drive-way when I lived in San Diego. That stopped when he found a bundle of flares and an alarm clock taped to the hood of his car one morning.Ian wrote:Camoflaged IED set off by their van before they arrive at the protest.

I mean, uh... that's terrible. What deplorable behavior to threaten someone like that. For shame.

So many questions, so much bile.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

They have every right to say what they say. Thtis is America after all. And the courts have consistently held up their First Amendment rights.
But I still hope somebody kills one or several of them sooner or later. :twisted:

I don't think they have collected any damages...I think at most they have been rewarded attorney fees for when they have been taken to court and won.Charlou wrote:Re the bolded bits ..

Re: Westbro Baptist Church Cheers Child Deaths
Stepping back for a moment, one has to say that this is excellent news tactically. Backed into a corner by the use of violence and the refusal of an entire community to help afterwards, these beasts have been forced to up the ante. Only in their case the ante is to be even more outrageously disgusting.Ayaan wrote:http://www.koco.com/r/25833473/detail.html
I am completely at a lose for words......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.![]()
Let them act on this. They will only need to do it once for violence against them to really break out. They then have a choice of trying to keep acting the victim, which will bring them no sympathy, or responding in kind, which will show them up even more as it will be portrayed in the media.
Either way, they are now exposing themsleves to genuine danger, against which they will find little help. They do not have the privelege of anonymous acts of violence. Those they face (who number millions) do.
