It occurs to me that people from Westboro Baptist must die and be buried on occasion. Who shows up at their sacred moments? ---

For proper hatred, I think its spelled [_Westboro_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church). Right? I’m pretty sure those Patriot Riders are not involved with anything Westburo, but I might be wrong. Oakminster may know more on this (?). I am not meaning this as a snark at all since the tone was seemingly serious of your wanting someone to perform violent things upon all of Westburo’s members. Make sure to identify the proper target before hoping for violent actions, particularly when anything military is involved. It works better that way, I hear, and might keep a literally-crazy person from carrying out your specific wishes. (on preview, I see Attack got the spelling right yeah!) Sorry you lost friend(s). Honestly. ---

My sources (ie: his fiancée) said there wasn’t any incident and you wouldve thought he was a leader of a country by the reception that he got. > > Westburo was planning on protest another airman’s funeral who was killed on the same flight as my buddy. One of their tactics these days is simply to announce that they’re going to protest a funeral, get people worked up into a lather, and then not show up as they’ve already achieved their goal of being hateful trolls. Plus, by not going it saves them the gas money for travel. As much as it galls me, the best way to defeat them is to grit your teeth, ignore them and strive to be better people than them. Returning hate for hate is what they want. If you hate them, they win. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hate-those-westburo-people-so-much/544090.md?page=2)
