Fred Phelps and his merry band of misanthropes at Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket the funerals of those killed in the Virginia Tech shootings, according to a message on their website:
"WBC will preach at the funerals of the Virginia Tech students killed on campus during a shooting rampage April 16, 2007. You describe this as monumental horror, but you know nothing of horror -- yet. Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. 'They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads' (Eze. 7:18).
Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. Your military chose to shoot at the servants of God today, and all they got for their effort was terror. Then, the LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants."
Thank you for that belly laugh on this very sad day. He will of course have his “deer-in-the-headlights” look on his face when he’s busting those caps. It would be a site to see, but then Gov. Kaine would get to name a new Senator, and God only knows what worse kind of nutjob it would be.
“Now I know Phelps is possessed by a demon.”
Phelps is not posessesd by a demon. He is one.
That is EXACTLY what needs to happened to him and anyone like him ... and no one should see a thing. It is unfortunate that someone will probably see it and testify.
Exactly. When they were at Walter Reed they had 12 idiot protesters and 3 lawyers taking notes and pictures.
Well, I'm fully aware of their Modus Operandi. But my point here is that Southwest Virginia is much different than in other parts of the country, and vigilante "justice" against idiot outsiders like Phelps can generally be the rule rather than the exception, based on the region's 19th century style mountain culture. Lawsuits, or threats thereof, will have zero affect on people who are either already poor, or have zero respect for civil and/or criminal law. If Phelps shows up at a funeral there spouting his BS, then he (or his minions, as the case may be), will surely run into trouble from the outraged families. The law, in this circumstance, would most likely look the other way.
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about...
I predicted that too.
All juries trying “Westboro” cases should return not guilty verdicts against all defendants from here on out. The Phelps lunatics are abusing the system; judges and juries need to teach them a lesson.
from a Patriot Guard Rider, that’s exactly what they want..best to ignore them since he (since disbarred) and all of his kids are lawyers..someone touches them, it’s lawsuit city..best to let law enforcement take care of them..
May the Lord rebuke this odious little jerk.
He'd have to file any lawsuits in Virginia. I can't imagine any jury pool would have any sympathy towards Phelps.

This is actually a WBC ping, rather than a PGR ping, but I figured most of you would be interested in this, too, so I hope you don't mind the ping.
I hope the Patriot Guards can help, because the families of those killed should not have to deal with these fools.
we need a bunch of strike breakers and ax handles.
Yup ... won't happen the way our society is now though. Up to about 1960 these guys would have already had the stuffing beat out of them and there would have been no lawsuits cause no one would have seen a thing.
Hey ~ probably NOT as a group ~ PGR is fairly narrow in focus ~ more of honoring our war heroes who have given all than a counter the jerks organization. However, I pinged the PGR list because some of them may be interested on a personal level.
