I’m not sure why I even clicked on this link. Our guardian angels at Westboro Baptist are at it again, showing us that even though our sinner’s way of thinking might have led us to believe that the Greyhound decapitation incident was merely a random act by a mentally deranged individual, it actually was a sign of God’s anger and a warning to all of us.
I’m not sure why you clicked either. These people are so awful I can’t even get upset about it at this point. But I wanted to compliment you on that excellent thread title.
When I watched the evening news about it the next day I liked their 91 year old neighbor who trash talked the Phelps’. Seems they’ve been wanting to buy her property for years. She’s one of two property owners on the block that aren’t part of their compound. The lady said they’ve been nagging her about selling, and speculated this was a ruse to scare her.
The National Post reports a bunch were turned back at the border, but one of Phelp’s wingnut daughters promised that a second group was going to make it at a different crossing.
I realize that the best thing we could do about the WBC is just ignore them and stop feeding them as the noisy trolls they are, but damn, it would feel good to see them stopped (I’m not suggesting any high-powered rifles or anything like that. That would be wrong.) They don’t stand much of a chance of upsetting the mourning family, anyway, since every mobile person in Winnipeg plans to come between them and the family if they do show up.
I’m with the last bit from Featherlou - every single person within driving distance of that funeral needs to form a human baracade to keep these lunatics out of site of the grieving family. This whole things has been one big tragic mess, and anyone who exploits it is worthy of scorn. Not that I can heap much more scorn on these guys - I think I’m all scorned out. What to do now?
