Westboro Baptist coming to my town

[AreaCode707]

Protesting a a marine funeral tomorrow. How do I get in their way without getting arrested?

Just try to collect a diffusing protest about random things. At least, you will get attention.

They came to my town this last february, and our school organized a diffusion protest. It went really well.

Dry hump another dude on camera in front of their protests.

Stage your own protest about something absolutely ridiculous. You can't legally stop them (they're lawsuit happy) but you can help make their crap get lost in a sea of protests for crazy stuff.

 

[J-Money]

Protest straight people. Everyone should be gay!

Why would they protest a funeral? Seems kinda dishonoring to do that. WWJD... apparently they did not ask themselves that question lol.

I doubt any of them have actually read the Bible... ever. What they do is beyond ridiculous. I think you should totally counter-protest something crazy like bignate said. Maybe nipples? Yeah, nipples. Hold up signs saying how "nipples are the devil" and "if you have nipples you will burn in hell!!!" That would be kinda funny.... but you should be topless the entire time... along with all the hot women you know.... and take lots of pics... and post them here...

OP, it would be such a shame if several semis happened to break down right in front of them.

Have you been living in a cave? Also, should you really be talking considering your beliefs are closer to theirs than a lot of peoples'.

Actually, I'd guess they're a little too versed on the bible.

Lots of good ideas here:

Yeah that's real nice at a funeral.

These guys are the ultimate proselytisers. They know the bible all TOO well, and that's the problem. In fact, I'm willing to be if someone did a study comparing level or general nuttiness versus level of bible understanding, they'd probably find a close correlation.

Uh, not really. My pastor can pretty much recite it front to back and he can't stand them, plus he is one of the most grounded, least nutty men I know. He loves football, cigars, scotch, and Johnny Cash but can go toe to toe with anyone claiming Bible knowledge... and you know what? He's not a bigot in the least... it's amazing what actually understanding the Bible can do for you.

I'm not supposed to hate people but those tards from westboro are as close as I have ever come. I would not mind if they had some sort of massive accident... or drank some tasty kool-aid the next time a comet flew by...

 

[SSSnail]

Wait, aren't you from the Bay Area? Let me know where and when, I can bring some pipping wiggas to deal with them.

He makes a LIVING from telling FAIRY TALES, which he believes to be true, and you think he's grounded? Wow.

Your opinion, more power to you.

I'm not going to turn this into a religion thread, just wanted to make my opinion known about the westboro people, like most others here.

Ukiah, CA 10:15 tomorrow. Probably a little too far and too short notice to come. I wish I'd have known earlier, would have organized something to keep them busy and far away from the mourners.

The best idea my friends came up with, it being Mendocino County and all, was to see who we could round up who toke, and smoke them out. (We're not 420-friendly in my group of friends normally, but I can't think of a better way to get the WBC people dislodged than to cover them in a cloud of local product.)

bake pot cakes and donate to the protesters

 

[HAL9000]

All their signs and whatnot say "God hates fags" or "God hates America" etc, so I'd just go stand next to them with a sign the says "God hates Morons ---->"

when the ku klux klan calls you a hatemonger you shouldn't be allowed to keep breathing...

why haven't anybody killed these subhumans yet? what is the point of buying all those guns if you don't have the stones to use them against vermin like this?

While I may agree with you too some degree (and definitely with how disgusting they are), we value freedom of speech. Also, if WB is demonstrating within the law, what right would one have to end their life?

What if you are demonstrating something fringe but within the law, and a group doesn't like it, I would assume you wouldn't like them giving you an Indian beauty mark.

Nothing is free, even freedom of speech. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am still working on my first cuppa and for the most part I usually agree with what you say on the whole. Cheers Bro(heim)

edit: And don't think law enforcement does not care, I would be shocked if they aren't under surveillance to some degree (as law allows) and just waiting for them to slip up. We can hope.
