| "Angels" Help Mask Phelps Sickos |
| 2011-03-06 |
| Link fixed. When the Rev. Fred Phelps and his parishioners came back to Laramie the next year to protest at the trials of the men who murdered Matthew, they were in for a bit of a surprise. Several friends and I led a counter-protest, dressed as angels, silently encircling them, our huge outstretched wings blocking their vicious signs from view. All Phelps and his followers want is attention. They cheered this lawsuit that brought their cause to the highest court. They love the news stories and the controversy. It is what they want. Indifference is their greatest fear. Backs turned in silence worked great for us in Laramie. How you choose to use your voice is up to you. Just like Osama - I don't want him caught, I just never want me or anyone else in this country to see him again - alive or dead. I want him to die alone, in the dark, unremarked and forgotten. Like Phelps. Who pays for his travels? |

| #2 Why can't someone just slap them with a disorderly conduct charge? Or if perhaps the police were to receive an anonymous threat, they might take them into protective custody until the threat diminishes. In 2045. |

| #1 Link seriously broken. I can't even guess what it should have been. |
