Arizona residents are locking arms to stop the Westboro Baptist Church from disrupting the funerals for victims of Saturday's shooting in Tucson, with bikers and others organizing a massive counter-protest and state lawmakers fast-tracking a bill to hamstring the group.
The Kansas-based Westboro church is notorious for showing up at the funerals of dead soldiers and other high-profile gatherings wielding anti-gay signs.
But when the church announced it would picket the funeral Thursday for the 9-year-old girl fatally shot over the weekend at a Tucson grocery store by a gunman who allegedly killed five others and injured 14 others attending a town-hall session by Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Tucson- and Phoenix-area residents started organizing immediately.

What is wrong with these people?
I wonder if they will have trouble with their tires?
God must be weeping.
Was the shooter homo?
In that photo she is dressed like a Harlem Globtrotter
Nothing a crowd composed of the relatives of dead US service persons with bricks, bats, tar, feathers, and brass knuckles wouldn't cure.
There should be a way to get a permanent restraining order against this group. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for there going to certain funerals.
What happened had no bearing on Palin or the Tea Party, but, this could be a good opportunity for Tea Partiers to show their good faith and no ill will towards Giffords or the others, by helping to keep these jerks away.
No one should have to deal with these jerks at their funerals. It’s too bad that they are such attention whores. jmo
Trouble is, the courts protect those b-tards. Assault any of them and you could wind up in jail and/or sued.
Fixed.
Ignoring these idiots is not good enough. They need a proper and thorough beat down.
“Assault any of them and you could wind up in jail and/or sued.”
I wonder what would happen if anti-westboro people started showing up at their funerals nasty little signs?
How come no harrassment charges are ever filed against this group??
Why? He knows the evil that men can do. This is why He came and died for our sins. He came to change this nature.
Yeah.
These “church” members should hold up signs stating what they’re really trying to do... invoking reactions in various environments then claiming via law suits that they weren’t protected by the municipality... they then sue for one purpose: to make money.
Wouldn’t it be worth it?
Don’t these jackwagons have a comet to keep a date with?
