Fred Phelps' Religious Group That Protests Soldiers' Funerals Must Face Its Day in Court

The Antichrist to Be Sued by Father of Dead Marine

Jetlag Democracy

I've come across some pretty fucked up stories but this one takes the fucked up cake.

The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, an organization led by Fred Phelps (a man who, for all intensive purposes, is the Antichrist) have decided to go around protesting soldier's funerals because a) they love God and b) they really hate faggots.

Initially, when I heard this story, I thought, "oh this Marine must have been gay." I have no problem with homosexuals in the army or out; that's just what I assumed this "group" was protesting about. Then I did some more research.

It turns out that the Phelps Klan protests as many soldier's funerals as they can; not because these soldiers were gay but because (they believe) our country (and subsequently these soldiers) represent a tolerance of homosexuality that needs punishment (it is God's will; they're just acting it out).

This kind of backwards thinking makes me literally sick to my stomach. If our government wants to do something productive, they can start by unleashing some "shock and awe" on the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka and then Fred Phelps' house. These people aught to be shot (actually tortured and then shot).

The Phelps Klan included little children who held signs that said "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "Semper Fi Fags" and "Thank God for IEDs," (referring to the improvised explosive devices that have killed many servicemen and women in Iraq).

I am normally not a fan of any kind of civil lawsuit or defamation case, but if there ever was a scenario that would warrant one; this is it. Must of these suits are frivolous and/or ungrounded, but not this one. The name of the 20 year old, fallen Marine was Mathew Snyder; his father is Albert Snyder.

How (or why) Albert Snyder didn't take baseball bat to the heads of these protesters when he buried his son is beyond me (I don't think I could have held back). He deserves every penny that Phelps and his fucking church have; he deserves their cars, jewelry, land, real estate; he deserves everything they've got and everything they've ever had.

At this point, the only fair thing to do to the Phelps Klan is to drop each and every one of them off in the really gay parts of the Village and hope they commit mass suicide; I mean, seriously, I see no other option.

I've got nothing more to say.

    It is easy to say you'd do something like that (and many have I'm sure) but would you, really? Even in such a circumstance? I don't think I could, unless I intended to kill as many of them as I could (but not the kids). I mean I'd be going to jail anyway, why not make it count?

    Though if Phelps is truly the anti-christ (and he's got the media on his side), there is no way he could be killed so easily, is there? =[

    Rather they need to be countered on their own ground, like the fine folks at this year's comic-con and previous examples have done.

    The case later this year may be overturned, but WBC will know comeuppance!
