Surprise, SURPRISE: "Westboro Baptist Church will 'super-picket' Colorado massacre memorial service"

Westboro Baptist Church will 'super-picket' Colorado massacre memorial service

http://www.examiner.com/article/westboro-baptist-church-will-super-picket-colorado-massacre-memorial-service

Whenever something tragic occurs in this world, you can be sure there will be memorials, memories, mourning, and also the Westboro Baptist Church. It was only a matter of time until almost anti-everything group threw their hat into the melee that was the Aurora, Colorado massacre which took place at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" on Friday, July 20, 2012.

The group took to Twitter and let it be known that they are planning a trip to Colorado in order to protest and have a picket line at a memorial service for the victims. Somehow or another, they managed to turn the victims of this tragedy into the bad ones.

When and where?

I'll be there, with bells on, with a big fat sign that says <- ASSHATS ->

And WHOSE GOD ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

.... or if they are just heading to eastern Colorado, there should be a bunch of ROAD CLOSED with barriers on the I-25 road.

We need someone in the plains to activate them when these morons cross, and sent back to Kansas.

Quite a few of them are attorneys, I think.

Make up an excuse - Prez O is supposed to be there, so all highways shut down or set up checkpoints and detain the Westboro assholes.

Easy enough to identify - they're carrying 200 signs for 10 people.

SCOTUS missed the calling on this. Other countries have stopped this garbage, but the US continues to let it thrive for profit of the Phelps Family. It's disgusting.

Think 'bout it... The WBC asshats have unintentionally made themselves the best LBGT rights supporters out there via sheer embarassing even many of the far right wingers to re-think their stance?
