WBC to Protest the Funerals of Virginia Tech Students
Nevertheless, deluded mentalities are not only held by troubled murderers. The Westboro Baptist Church (God Hates Fags) has announced on one of their many websites that they plan to protest the funerals of the Virginia Tech students. The following is taken from their site www.godhatesamerica.com:
"WBC will preach at the funerals of the Virginia Tech students killed on campus during a shooting rampage April 16, 2007. You describe this as monumental horror, but you know nothing of horror -- yet. Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. "They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads" (Eze. 7:18).
Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. Your military chose to shoot at the servants of God today, and all they got for their effort was terror. Then, the LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants."
For those who find it difficult to understand the mental processing of someone who can so easily take the lives of numerous people, trying to understand the beliefs and ideals of the WBC is guaranteed to result in a mind-numbing pain. This group, headed by senile basket case, Fred Phelps, has preached their message of hatred for over 16 years, protesting the funerals of US soldiers in the process. Now, on the wake of the worst shooting in US history, the WBC has sunk to a new low. While I am an advocate for free speech, it is people like Phelps who make the nation wonder if unbridled free speech is an amendment worth protecting. Free speech is something worth protecting, however, there should be a clause added to the 1st Amendment. A clause that states: any person using their free speech rights to protest a funeral will waive their legal protection from physical harm done by those attending the funeral services.
While violence should never be the main course of action, the WBC does something so despicable, so unjustifiable that they are deserving of a swift beating. Such a vile message should not be tolerated in a country that tries to promote tolerance to all. And if the US government does not want to add a clause removing legal protection from funeral protestors, then maybe they should throw all the members of the WBC into an insane asylum because their message is far from sane.

all i have to say is god is the judge of everyone. he will do the all of the judging not man or this damn church.
Man it didnt have to happen like that. It was just mad to hear of 32 people dead. It made my heart drop to know that some of the people died instantly and some just had to suffer.
There WILL come a day when these wackados get everthing they've dished out...They are the ones whom are posessed. Pray for the mentally insane...
What I fear,
It's just another summer day in Baghdad. The warm dessert wind blows across our faces as we stand another 8+ hours in the heart of the city, the US Embassy. The Marines of Anti-Terrorism Battalion based out of Camp Lejeune, NC are tired, hungry and hot but most importantly happy. I love my job and I love being a Marine. I love the idea of being a Marine and having the honor of putting on this uniform everyday and having the responsibility of leading junior Marines. I take off my cammies every night and thank God for my family, for my 3 year old nephew back home and for all my loved ones. I pray he will take care of them and that he will take care of my Marines, grant them all a long, happy and prosperous life. Yet every night I sleep with a fear, I do not fear dying here or being mangled and dismembered. I do not fear the IDF, IEDs, small arms attacks or the sniper fire. These things a Marine accepts, we knew the day we raised our right hands and swore to defend that whi
Geez . . . why does this "church" have to be called Baptist? We have enough negative stereotypes to deal with already . . .! I despise when people twist the Bible to say what they want to to say for their own psycho beliefs.
wow, how pathetic and strange.
See this is what I was writing about in my article I live down the street from this jackal he has no boundaries, I wonder what his real motive was for this protest. Maybe he didn't like how one of the victims looked, he is sick and will one day get his just deserves!!
That group of people are just sick and twisted. There is nothing morally right in what they do in protesting funerals.
I would love to see a funeral law of some sort. That is one area that I would like to see protected from protesting. Maybe the penalty for WBC participants could be a court-ordered wardrobe of bright orange clothing that says, "Fags Rock!"
