Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church to Protest at VA Tech Funerals

Thank you for that belly laugh on this very sad day. He will of course have his “deer-in-the-headlights” look on his face when he’s busting those caps. It would be a site to see, but then Gov. Kaine would get to name a new Senator, and God only knows what worse kind of nutjob it would be.

“Now I know Phelps is possessed by a demon.”

Phelps is not posessesd by a demon. He is one.

[clamper1797]

If they try to sound off with their hateful non-sense in Blacksburg or anywhere else in the region, then I predict that they will receive beatings of biblical proportions

That is EXACTLY what needs to happened to him and anyone like him ... and no one should see a thing. It is unfortunate that someone will probably see it and testify.

[AGreatPer]

"Phelps and his clan want to be threatened so they can sue and collect damages. That is their racket."

Exactly. When they were at Walter Reed they had 12 idiot protesters and 3 lawyers taking notes and pictures.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

and then they win lawsuits of many dollars to continue to fund their [expletives deleted] activities.

Well, I'm fully aware of their Modus Operandi. But my point here is that Southwest Virginia is much different than in other parts of the country, and vigilante "justice" against idiot outsiders like Phelps can generally be the rule rather than the exception, based on the region's 19th century style mountain culture. Lawsuits, or threats thereof, will have zero affect on people who are either already poor, or have zero respect for civil and/or criminal law. If Phelps shows up at a funeral there spouting his BS, then he (or his minions, as the case may be), will surely run into trouble from the outraged families. The law, in this circumstance, would most likely look the other way.

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about...

[Paleo Conservative]

That was about as safe of a prediction as predicting that the Detroit Lions will not go to the next Super Bowl.

I predicted that too.

[Cecily]

All juries trying “Westboro” cases should return not guilty verdicts against all defendants from here on out. The Phelps lunatics are abusing the system; judges and juries need to teach them a lesson.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

from a Patriot Guard Rider, that’s exactly what they want..best to ignore them since he (since disbarred) and all of his kids are lawyers..someone touches them, it’s lawsuit city..best to let law enforcement take care of them..

[JamesP81]

Are these fools identified as not Republican?

More than that, they're generally identified as "Not Christian" despite the fact that they're a "church".

[Busywhiskers]

May the Lord rebuke this odious little jerk.

[Paleo Conservative]

Lawsuits, or threats thereof, will have zero affect on people who are either already poor, or have zero respect for civil and/or criminal law.

He'd have to file any lawsuits in Virginia. I can't imagine any jury pool would have any sympathy towards Phelps.

[JamesP81]

One of these days, he and his little coterie will protest the wrong funeral, and there will be serious injury doled out. It’s only a matter of time.

It might be unChristian of me to say so, but that will be a day of happiness. Sometimes, it's the only way people learn.

Thanks for the notice, Grammy!

This is actually a WBC ping, rather than a PGR ping, but I figured most of you would be interested in this, too, so I hope you don't mind the ping.

 

To be on or off my PGR list, please FReepmail me!

[Biggirl]

I hope the Patriot Guards can help, because the families of those killed should not have to deal with these fools.

[pennboricua]

we need a bunch of strike breakers and ax handles.

[clamper1797]

All juries trying “Westboro” cases should return not guilty verdicts against all defendants from here on out

Yup ... won't happen the way our society is now though. Up to about 1960 these guys would have already had the stuffing beat out of them and there would have been no lawsuits cause no one would have seen a thing.

[StarCMC]

Hey ~ probably NOT as a group ~ PGR is fairly narrow in focus ~ more of honoring our war heroes who have given all than a counter the jerks organization. However, I pinged the PGR list because some of them may be interested on a personal level.

[SoldierDad]

I’m wondering if President Bush might attend the services for those slain at VT? If so, then I doubt that these pariahs will get anywhere near the service.
