Westboro Baptist Church to Picket Funeral of 9-Year-Old Arizona Shooting Victim

There are so many word I'd like to say right now, but I'd get in trouble if I did

Seriously, why can't they leave people to mourn in peace? And what right do they have to be picketing this poor girls funeral or anyone else's? It's not "Freedom of Speech".

Trick or Treat @ Jodie ~*~ style-file ~*~ comissions ~*~ tumblr

So goshdarn sick of these people, I don't mean to sound awful but I really am wondering how they haven't all been violently beaten to death yet.
So many people hate them with a passion, like literally a burning hatred. And I've never seen any of them been so much as slapped to my recollection.

Actually, they won't be directly at the funeral.
AZ just passed a law that prohibits protests at funerals, but supposedly they're moving their protest about 1000 feet from it. :/
Can those idiots give it a rest?
We get it, you're dumb. You're giving the US a bad name.

How despicable. Really.

Quote:
Salon reported that a flier posted by the church on its website regarding the Tucson protest declared "God hates Catholics"


Eh? Anyway...

Quote:
Westboro Baptist, a small church in Topeka, pickets at funerals of military veterans and people who have died of AIDS because its members say their deaths are God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.


Actually, there seems to be no problem toward gays, considering these people hadn't been blasted off the earth yet.

Why can't someone blow these motherloveers up? All they ever accomplish is disrespecting the deceased and pissing people off. I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of hearing about them by now.
What the hell did this little girl do? She's loveing nine. I doubt she can tell the difference between being Catholic or anything else. Hell, I wasn't sure what religion I was when I was nine. Although, at that age, my family had long stopped taking us to church.

Every time I read about this church I just want to cry. </3
To the people who have had to watch their loved ones funerals get picketed, I'm sorry, no one should have to see that, people abusing their "freedom of speech" and using it to cause even more grief.
That poor girl's family, it's enough that she died so young, but it only makes it worse that these people have to add fuel to the fire and harass the funeral.

That's just... I have no words. Not even the worst could be applied here.
She's just a nine year old girl... what has the world come to?

On a positive hand, though...

Quote:
In response, Gilmer said she is planning an "angel action" -- a group of volunteers wearing 8-by-10-foot angel wings to visually shield mourners from the demonstrators, who typically number no more than a dozen but hold aloft offensive signs.


This. This is amazing.
This at least does something to give me hope for the human race. It's nice to know that when something like this happens, there's someone willing to help the victims of it.

[x] I agree that these people are severely off touch with reality and completely insensitive to the tragedies of others, but to say that you wish you could shoot them or blast them off the earth does not do any justice. The best way to fight these 'religious trolls' is to IGNORE them. They seek press, attention, and are just begging for someone to take action against them (i.e. start a fight, shoot, etc.) so they can start a lawsuit war of the likes you've never seen.

At my university, we get these people called "Repent America" who hold up giant flyers of aborted fetuses and signs that say "God Hates Fags" and all sorts of hateful sludge. Whenever they visit they bring a loudspeaker and disrupt our peaceful campus with their offensive slander and fear tactics, all in the guise of a 'protest'. The mistake that many students make, including myself, is circling them and taunting them. When we give them attention, WE ONLY ADD FUEL TO THEIR FIRE. An annoyed campus security guard walked up to me and told me to leave and just ignore them. Us giving these horrible, greedy people attention makes the cops' job more complicated and everything would be better if we paid them no mind.

The same principles can be applied to this pathetic excuse for a 'church'. The best thing to do is to counter-protest them peacefully and quietly by using human barriers. At my school we use umbrellas and offer to escort people past the awful images Repent America holds up (the school as since abolished our 'Silent Witnesses' program, so now we no longer have this comfort--thank you, budget cuts and greedy buttheads).

Dear Westboro Baptist Church,

Please go love yourselves. Your intolerance is repulsive and the fact that you must mock and torture those who are hurting in order to compensate for erm, certain things, is disgusting. You are petty, you are vain and you are liars. You do not know what God does and does not like. He does not sit in your pews, asking you to 'preach' his 'word.' You know nothing. It is not your place to determine the fate of people and proclaim you are right in everything you say and do. You are vile and do not deserve the protection the first amendment gives to you. So please shut the love up and get out of everyone's lives, you ass-wipes.

Warm regards,
Callais

Seriously. love these people.

Actually, the WBC's decided that being beaten to death by a mob wasn't their ideal Thursday morning.

They've canceled the protest.

I completely agree that the Westboro Baptist Church are disgusting, despicable people, and I do not agree with condemning, or any kind of intolerance or hatred toward homosexuals, but the Bible does speak against homosexuality. Romans 1:26-27 is very clear on this. Not going to post the verse because this is not the place.. just thought I'd point that out. That being said, the way that the majority of Christians treat homosexuals is horrid.

I am so glad these buttheads canceled their protest!

As a member of a Baptist church way over on the other side of the world - I'm ashamed of them. D;
For crying out loud, the girl was nine years old. I don't know any of the details, but that's just completely screwed up.
GAH I hate it when people go all bible-bashing-crazy like that. It makes us all look like fanatic-nutters. -____________-

We need to stop giving them attention. :/ I like to think we live in a world where talk shows and news broadcasts aren't so desperate for viewers that they give media coverage to attention whores like this boyization of a religious group, but I also like to think people aren't nasty enough to call nine year olds godless sinner-fags.

It's no secret that the WBC is full of outrageous, ego-stroking parrots. The only thing that surprises me about this protest by the WBC is that it was canceled; then again, they made the media their dog for an hour in exchange, so I guess I'm really not that surprised after all.

I'm a Christian, but I think the Baptist branch is way too judgmental. We went to a baptist church for a while, it was my dad's childhood church. There was a time when some members thought my dad would grow up and be the next preacher. Then my parents got divorced and after a while, my dad moved in with his girlfriend. They went to the church one Sunday and I was with them. To say 95% of the congregation shunned my dad and Trish is an understatement. Even I was given some unfriendly vibes I am proud to say that I'm happily of the Nazarene denmonination.

ANYWAY.

I cannot believe these people would protest a FUNERAL.

@Rinoa well 1.the catholic church is just as judgemental in my experience and 2. I think it does depent on the church. Damn near every baptist church in existance has denounced the WBC as being not a real branch of baptism...

That being said...epic username.

It's branches like those that give the rest of us a bad name. I should be able to show up to church in jeans and a nice shirt without getting looked at like a bug under a microscope.

@Jenni they did. Several thousand people as well as a hundred Hells Angels (and a few dozen cops). The church didn't show up to the little girls funeral, or to any other Tucson funerals thanks to a HUGE base of people (started on facebook) who were there to block their protest (not PROTEST their protest, because that would be just as disrespectful to get into a pissing contest with the church....they just stood in a VERY LARGE line along the streets to block the victim's family's view of the church)
