Turns out he wasn’t making idle threats. I’m glad the counterprotestors turned out in force.
Not to hijack, but did he really show up at Ground Zero and laugh at people?
Yes, he has. Here’s just one photo from NYC. There are others.
What a fucking cretin. I don’t think his family’s going to be able to keep this shit up after he dies, though. While we might have pickets, Phred seems to have provided most of the drive behind his silly fucked-up family. I certainly don’t think they’ll be able to keep up appearances of a church. If still maintain tax exempt status, they probably won’t be able to once the good reverend departs this earth.
Nothing would please me more than to see Fred and his ilk get beaten down. Nothing. Then again, being a part of that . . . Actually beating the shit out of one of the Phelps clan or refusing to call for help or perjuring myself to protect the assailant . . . well, I guess I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between myself and Bull Connor. Or James Earl Ray. Or whoever capped Larry Flynt. Or some redneck who beats up some other idiot who burns the flag. I say let him go. If he does something illegal at the protest, let the cops bust his ass. But don’t lower yourself to that. Unless you want to fund further protests with lawsuit money, of course.
Zombie thread.
