FULL TITLE: Outrage as Westboro Baptist plans praise gathering outside Sandy Hook Elementary school to celebrate God 'executing his judgement' in horrific shooting rampage that killed 20 children and 6 adults
The tight-knit community of Newtown, Connecticut is numb in the aftermath of the heart-wrenching massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary school on Friday when a gunman killed 20 young students, all aged six and seven, in addition to six adults.
As families mourn the lives that were cut short in this unspeakable horror, an extremist group has announced they plan to congregate at the scene of the tragedy and offer praise to God for 'executing his judgement' - an unthinkable act amidst the sorrow overwhelming the quiet town.
A member from the Westboro Baptist Church, an unaffiliated religious group that self-identifies as a church, said on Saturday the group will picket the school in a so-called praise service, while the rest of the nation struggles to move forward after the tragedy.
Westboro, which has been widely described as a hate group, has often courted controversy by promoting an anti-homosexual agenda and picketing military funerals and high profile events to gain publicity.
The organization is led by Fred Phelps and is headquartered in Topeka, Kansas but representatives travel around the U.S. picketing events.

Fake liberal group of lawyers pretending to be a church in order to libel/slander Christians. The MSM knows and runs with it.
Don’t forget, the Phelps’ ties to Democrats-

Now Al Gore, this is a real example of “an inconvenient truth.”
Execrable, vile, revolting, base...there just don’t seem to be words adequate to describe those people. What disgusting human garbage.
A year or two ago a soldier from my old hometown in northern Michigan was killed and the freaks pledged on their website that they would show up to the funeral but they never did......
This “church” is just as much as a part of the decline of society as the shooter
These folks are just publicity hounds & not authentic & cannot be taken seriously at all: they cannot speak for God.

I can’t honestly and sincerely compliment a woman’s appearance at work without risking termination but these Westboro freaks can do what they do and they’re protected? WTF?
I didn’t know they were democrats. I’ll help spread the news, thanks

You’re welcome. I recommend whenever you mention them, always preface by saying something like “Democratic Al Gore supporter Fred Phelps”. Kinda like how Ann Coulter would always refer to Robert Byrd as “former KKK leader Robert Byrd”.
Never forget the Westboro Baptists Democrat Party membership.
Even though no one really wants to talk about it.
bump al gore
Just a vain hope.
This cult needs to get their Jonestown on. Just sayin’.
Vile, disgusting cretins ... praying for an asteriod strike.
Jim Jones, like Fred Phelps, was also a Democrat.
