Why bother?
Not protest. Celebrate. Might cause me to get drunk, even. 
Great! You can come join me and MeanOldLady! 
I was one of the rare votes for attending but not protesting. I’m with the folks who are not interested at all in sinking to their level. But I’m also a news junkie and would find it hard to resist the opportunity to be at the scene of news as it was happening.
No. DNFTT.
I dunno about Topeka, but I know Wichita and Hutchinson both have awesome airplane museums. The one in Wichita has a bunch of 20’s biplanes, a Boeing 727, KC-135, and a B-52D (with a tail turret!) amongst many other assorted planes. The one in Hutchinson has a lot of stuff about the space program, and they have an SR-71 on display in the foyer. As in, if you were in a hurry and not paying attention, you might run into the thing.
Pretty easy to contrive circumstances, if that isn’t cause for a national holiday of rejoicing, I don’t know what is!
Personally, though, I don’t see the church suddenly ending on the death of only one of them (especially Shirley). I think there are enough truly brainwashed people in WBC to continue when one dies. Especially Fred, I think they know how old he is and I’m sure they’ve been grooming someone for some time.
It would be more rewarding to me if no one showed up at all to either of those funerals.
Seems unlikely; they are of a big family.
Anyway, though I would not protest as such, I do plan to attend Phelps’ funeral (garlic, crucifix, and AK-47 in hand) to make sure he’s dead.
I would feel like protesting, but wouldn’t, because it would be wrong. I would advise others to refrain as well. I would have no trouble protesting against this family of charlatans (is there a specific term for a phony cleric?) under most circumstances where they are alive, but I’m not going to protest anyone’s funeral.
Protesting at a funeral is just tacky. I’m not saying I would shed a tear for him, but I’ve never had it in me to celebrate someone else’s death.
Topeka has the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field.
Oooohhh
No, I would not participate. I think it is a gesture worthy of an asshole to ‘protest’ at someone’s funeral, and his demonstrations at soldiers’ funerals is a key element of my hatred of him and his false teachings. I refuse to sink to his level.
On the other hand, have you ever noticed you can’t spell ‘demonstration’ without ‘demon’? Coincidence? I think not!
No, but I might organize a gay pride parade past his funeral home for the wake…
Yes, I would totally participate in it if it turned into a fun public celebration! We could have confetti, noisemakers, big corndogs and turkey legs, and bright large signs that say: How’s Hell treating you, Phelps?" That asshole family deserves a taste of their own medicine.
If I did, I’d have some random signs featuring Ceiling Cat or something.
I wouldn’t be protesting…because I’d be too busy providing funeral libations for a modest fee, and DJing appropriate mourning music.
I wouldn’t sink to their level by protesting, but I’d probably drive by and snap some photos of those who did, just for posterity, so I chose “attend but not protest” as well.
They protested at the funerals of several of my friends who died from AIDS. This was before the general public gave a crap, since they were only targeting gays back then.
I don’t believe in fighting fire with fire, so I wouldn’t picket his funeral. But I’d be willing to participate in an over-the-top festive celebration . . . sort of a dancing-on-his-grave thing.
