This will not end well: Westboro Baptist to protest at funerals of TN shooting victims

Times Free Press story here

This is going to suck.

From the article:

Messages appearing to originate from the Westboro Baptist Twitter account indicate that the small church plans to picket the funerals of slain servicemembers killed in Chattanooga.

Claiming that God sent the gunman to the military installations in Chattanooga, Westboro Baptist on Saturday indicated that it planned to protest the funerals of the slain Marines and Sailor.
