They might have gone too far this time. Some of the people in this town have nothing left to lose. I hear the have their RV blocked in at the Target parking lot.

Joplin Police Chief Lane Roberts said Friday at a news conference that officers are "ready" for the controversial church known for protesting at funerals of military officers. The police chief said Westboro members have the right to protest and will be given a designated area to demonstrate.

According to Westboro's website, its members are scheduled to hold a peaceful protest at noon on Sunday.

"WBC will picket Anti-Christ Obama who is speaking at the memorial service for the 126 God killed in his wrath with the whirlwind," reads the message on Westboro's website. "They all died for the sins of Missourians who have repeatedly lifted up their violent hands against God's anointed, despite plain warning not to do so."

Westboro Baptist Church, which has no affiliation with any Baptist denomination, is a fringe church notorious for hate speech and protest at funerals of troops killed in combat. Members of the church believe that U.S. deaths in the Iraq war, for instance, are punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.

The church, made up of family members of leader Fred Phelps, is condemned by mainstream Christian leaders as a cult and for teaching unorthodox views on predestination and God's wrath
 
I would greatly enjoy hearing that their RV was set ablaze with them trapped inside and the hundreds gathered outside claim they didn't see a thing.
 
They were spreading the word to deny WBC all services everywhere, effectively leaving them without access to food, shelter, or fuel that they did not bring from elsewhere.

That would be a pretty good way to handle it, provided that everyone agreed to do so...which they won't because greed trumps hate.
 
If the gov would turn a blind eye.I would personally go kill them ..all
With my own money and weapons.

If they came to my town after a disaster...thats exactly what would happen.
 
saw this on another forum

Correction. The Rv at target was a decoy. They are at the Capri hotel. The talk is getting harsh. They may get more than they bargained for here in JoMo

The time they got their tires slashed at that young soldiers funeral the only people they could get to even replace them was Walmart, no one else in town would help them.

Which is pretty inspiring until Walmart ruins it. Because greed trumps hate.
 
I'm curious what would happen if a tornado wiped out their little community. Would they protest the funeral and accept that god hates them?
 
I'm pretty sure they could just walk to one of the 50 places on the side of the road that are giving away food and water if anyone was to deny them service. I wish people would just stop giving them attention.
 
People need to ignore these fucks.

They announce they are going somewhere, then 3 of the fuckers show up and 3000 show up against them and they are ignored anyway.
 
Patriot Guard Riders

Only at funerals. They won't be in Joplin.

JOPLIN MISSOURI

The Patriot Guard Riders are not a counter protest group. We have a very specific mission statement that focuses on our Fallen Heroes that have served our country and citizens. As a non-profit organization we are bound by law to adhere to our mission statement. Violating that could prevent the organization from continuing to honor our fallen military and first responders.

We understand the sorrow these families are experiencing and offer our condolences in their loss and hopes that no protesters will attempt to twist their pain for some media exposure. The best way to prevent these folks from attending funerals is to deny them media coverage and attention. That is the only reason they would be there.

I wish the government would take their children and foster them out to heathens and pagans and atheists.

It would make for a hilarious television show.
