http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/11/arizona.funeral.westboro/index.html?hpt=T1 But the good part of the story, a bunch of people are getting together to shield the mourners I don't use Facebook, so if someone that does would post information from the Facebook page, I would like details. I have long been heartbroken about the actions of Westboro Baptist Church and would like to stand with those who will the mourning from the hate. I did not know such a stand had been taken before. If there is a link on the Facebook page, please provide it. I want to contribute.
I don't get it, are they basically going to form a giant human wall in front of the Westboro asshats?
Holy **** does that infuriate me to no end. If you want to talk about taking up your 2nd Amendment right, it should be against these assholes at a funeral for an innocent 9 year old girl. I'm not condoning violence against them but yes I am.
They did the same thing during the trial for Matthew Shepard's murder. EDIT: Oops, it's in the article. Sorry.
the Westboro angels were born out of a theater group's presentation of "The Laramie Project" which is a play about Matthew Shepard, (as well as the murder trial as mentioned above) the idea was to build giant "wings" with sheets, surrounding the protesters and extend their wings out with their backs to the group in a peaceful, silent protest. the movement has now grown so that any time the WBC is planning a protest, there should always be a counter-group ready to block this horrid group of individuals who have taken advantage of the Constitution and the Supreme Court allows them to continue to do so. check out notinourtown.org for more info <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RmIfEXiU7l8?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RmIfEXiU7l8?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> i see the angels were at his funeral and trial as well. I also didn't realize that Westboro has been doing this since 1991...
I read about this yesterday. I didn't know if they'd protest the funeral of the 9 year old girl or not. I hoped that even they wouldn't go that far, but they are indiscriminate in their hate. This is disgusting. WBC press release. Don't click if you don't want to be incensed. Spoiler
I don't get how someone can even think of a reason behind picketing a 9-year old's funeral? How on earth could their be, even in a twisted mind, a reason to do this??
why can't God send a rod to kill every one of these disgusting human beings? sorry about that rhetoric
Wow, me too. I don't know what they were saying but it nearly brought a tear to my eye watching them stand together like that.

^^ although funny, you see those counter protestors show up at conventions like Comic Con where WBC will be known to picket. their (WBC) whole entire operation is to disrupt the peace. why can't they be stopped?
wait. what? she was a bystander here. what's their loony, misguided, hatefilled reasoning here? It's that she was catholic. And god hates catholics. Nutters.
I watched this a couple of weeks ago. What a horrendous group of people. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hmIr9P-vkSQ?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hmIr9P-vkSQ?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
