Bolding mine; it doesn’t say, but I assume they intended to bomb any protesters. Since that would likely be Phelp’s bunch, I admit to a certain lack of compassion, but more practically we don’t need more religious violence.
Oh, I don’t know…The headlines would have made for fun reading:
Prince of Peace Supporters Blow Up Followers of The Lamb
While detectives comb the blast site for “human” remains, the suspects are led away sing “Pipe bombs for Jesus, pipe bombs for Jesus, we’ll blow your heretic asses away when we can.” The rest of the world doesn’t notice.
I was thinking more Funeral Bombed To Prevent Disruption from the stated motives of the would-be bomber. It has a nice “We destroyed the village in order to save it” feel.
Cool names. “Fundamentalist Christian Street Gangs on the Next Geraldo.” I’m seeing bling in the form of a gilded jawbone of an ass and crown of thorns.
Well, at least no one will ever call him “duhl” anymore.
Nothing new. Same thing happened when the Phelpsies picketed Mr. Rogers’ funeral.
“Meow-meow-meow I"LL FUCK YOU UP MOTHERFUCKER meow-meow-meow!”
Bombing protesters to keep the funeral peaceful.
I think my brain asploded.
It’s like raping girls to protect their virginity. or something.
