Time for a little masked vigilante justice...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

No, I don’t think that’s a tough call at all. On a thread yesterday I argued against that vociferously.

Here’s a link to my first comment on that thread. I would encourage you to look at all of them. Some of my comments may be a bit off base, but they pretty much express my thoughts on the matter.

Those turds know communities are fed up and pissed off with WBC’s antics. Someday some of them are going to cross the wrong folks.

““... for fear of having the s*** beat out of them.”

But they’re still going to protest at the other five funeral services! I don’t think the media should’ve negotiated with these evil people by agreeing to give them radio/tv time.

I think most, if not all, the Phelps’ spawn (I mean children) are attorneys as well.

I always imagined that was their game - to provoke and profit from litigation. It’s the explanation that makes the most sense to me. At least I can understand that motivation. It’s really hard to understand them otherwise.

Bet your backside that they will still try to show up and ‘protest’ the other funerals.

Mike Gallagher back in 2006. He gave them airtime on his show when they wanted to protest the Amish School shooting.

IMHO, they shouldn’t have been allowed to protest in the first place.

It isn’t lost on them that AZ is an open carry state.

Throughout the aftermath of the shooting, not a single word about these lunatics and their hate speech. More proof that the blood libel from the left is very, very carefully targeted, and deliberately intended to reclaim power from the republican party.

I tell you, if I lived near these idiots, cracking their heads would be worth the assault and battery charge.

Actually my dream is this: A big pickup with a tank of liquid manure and a pump that would shoot it about 50 feet. I’d start with their church lawn and then catch them at a protest. Just pull by slowly and let it rain, baby.

The fine or short jail term would be worth it.

Either they really believe the 9 year old was a sinner or not. Have they negotiated with what they believe is Satan?

Hypocrites.

I was thinking that the death threats were probably coming in hot and heavy.

>>Phelps-Roper says the group will picket the Friday funeral of U.S. District Judge John Roll<<<

Judge Roll was a Fourth Degree Kight of Columbus, and a Fourth Degree color guard will serve at his funeral.

The ceremonial swords can be pretty sharp.

According to a friend in Tucson, Westboro never applied for a permit to protest.

Who funds these Westboro assclowns? The answer to that one would be very interesting.

Half the family are lawyers. They've won a number of suits for having their first amendment rights curtailed.

Good, looks like they took the hint...

When Papa Phelps dies (and the rest of them for that matter)...He better be put in an unmarked grave...Otherwise it might become very well watered and fertilized...
