#2 Because I hit the button too soon, again. I'm surprised it's still here.
Phred is as despicable as any terrorist but nobody has declared war on him just yet.

#3 Busting their heads REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAL good would have a better and longer lasting effect than just suing them methinks.

#4 We need to have some sort of "seriously sick fuckers" law that takes away the "human rights" of offal like the Westboro bunch.

Sort of "open season" all year long.

#5 why hasn't anyone kicked the shit out of these ppl yet. Freespeech or not someone needs too take the initiative on these fools. Maybe one day they will make it too the southern US too see how well the law enforcement protcts their asses.

#6 To judge from the video, I would guess that Reno hates their lame asses... nice to see they were shunned like the scum they are.

The reason that no one has kicked their asses, Sinese... is that they are all lawyers and make their boodle by provoking just such a reaction, and then suing.

#7 Sgt Mom - perhaps someone should anonymously pay some bums to perform the Indigent Person's street theater version of The Invasion of Iwo Jima against them... sue the bums all they want.

#8 Freaking out someone in morning like this is almost like yelling fire in a movie theater. You are eventually going to push someone over the edge and I think the Westboro group will not find many juries sympathetic to their injuries.

#11 Parasites.

#12 The problem for them is, they eventually will push someone over the edge. And if that someone is like me but with less restraint, the Westboro person on the receiving end of a beating will not be alive to file suit.

And they are from Kansas. As the Outlaw Josey Wales said...

I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas, sunshine, sunflowers and sons of bitches.

#13 These guys will get theirs; it's just a matter of time. I'd suspect the way it will happen is that the person they push over the edge comes to the Westboro group demo loaded for bear and starts shooting every one of those scumbags he can see. He'll probably off five or six before the police do him in.

Where the kicker will be is in the police response time. I have a sneaking suspicion that wherever this takes place, the police are going to be a bit more--oh, let's say, deliberate--in rushing to the scene to aid and protect.

I think that when Phelps and Co. lose five or six dead to an angry citizen, that will be the last of their show. The cost of their outrageous behavior will finally have been proven, even to them, to be too high.

OS, that was a great line from Josey Wales.

#14 Part of their MO, Old Spook (as I have learned from reading various links from Rantburg about this disgusting bevy of parasites), is that someone from their group is always standing a little apart, videoing any interactions. They make their boodle from the lawsuits they file, after someone in the audience at their little improv provocations does 'go over the edge'. It would make their day, to have one of their number have the crap beaten out of them, or even killed. The suit would perhaps keep them in pocket change for a couple of years. Fortunatly, I think that everyone - the volunteers who turn out to protect the families at these funerals and counter-protest the Phelps, the various courts, municipalities, and law enforcement bodies have twigged this. It probably frustrates the Phelps whelps that no one does lay an actual hand on them at these little demonstrations of theirs. Standing about two feet away, drownding them out with songs, bagpipe bands and pouring scorn and derision on their disgusting asses is about the best way to counter them - as well as not giving them an opening for some more than usually clueless court to award them damages.

#15 I rather liked the occasion in I think it was NYC where the mounted cops protected the Westboro scum by forming a line in front of them ... with the horse heads pointed away from the Phelpsers.

heh

#16 Sgt Mom - that makes it easy. Get the ones with the cameras first, and destroy the cameras.

Either that or do a Waco on their "compound" in Kansas.

#17 Agreed, OS. Time to hit them at home.

Listen, as one of those "radical fundamentalist/evangelical" Christians, I agree with Phred's assessment of the state of our nation today (morally). But, I would NEVER even think about, much less seriously consider, doing "protests" like this. Someone seriously needs to do some planning, and take out the video crews first. Then, "do as you will" with the rest of the Westboro sickos.

By the way...I like my "new" screename (Snakes Jiper2875). Guess I've been gone too long.

#18 Be good to find lawyers to do a legal "Waco" on them.
