vertiaset: It is not like the LAPD and LA Count Sheriff department is going to have enough on their hands. Now the taxpayers have to pay to protect these professional hate mongers as well. It may be that Phelps has miscalculated here. Unlike a protest in front of a local church or cemetery this is going to be a HUGE event. The police presence will be significant but, due to the likely huge size of the event, will be spread thin. Despite their best efforts the cops may not even notice the Westboro idiots until the damage is already done.

If the cops are smart they will deliberately hang back until ALL the WBC are dead and can't sue them.

Hollywood Cole: budsterr: I wish hell existed. People like Michael Jackson and Fred Phelps deserve an eternity of torture.

Given the childhood MJ had, I imagine he was tortured enough already.


Even Joe Jackson didn't beat his kids with farking ax handles like Fred Phelps did. (Read Chapter Two, "Daddy's Hands") If he had, they wouldn't have been able to dance. MJ just sucked the kids off. Well, he probably farked a few of them that we didn't hear about. Ask McCaulay Culkin. But of the three, Fred Phelps is unquestionably the most sadistic evil scumbag who most deserves to DIAF. If it please God, may these worthless sacks of shiat die in the streets. Justice!

Fano: numb3r5ev3n: Snarcoleptic_Hoosier: The problem is any MJ fans that get killed in the ensuing riots are to come back "Thriller" style.

Fred Phelps deserves to face zombies. Westboro Baptist Church has picketed so many funerals. I imagine they'd be more reluctant to do so if the dead actually rose from their graves.

This is exactly how I imagine it happening.

I personally hope that every supporter of the WBC in attendance be brutally killed. I feel that about every time they show up, and while I think that this might be one of the few fitting turnouts, it's also the only time that I can reasonably hope that they all are murdered. Which I want at all their events.

/die

RadicalMiddle: If Jesus died on a cross today, Fred Phelps would protest his funeral and say he is in Hell as well.
After all, he hung out with 12 guys (obvious homosexual), and attacked the religious establishment at the time.
He would have said to old Fred, "But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you." (John 5:42)


Now that would be something to see--Jesus himself comes back to put a beatdown on Fred.

Once they're completely destroyed, we can completely ignore them.

 
simpsonfan 2009-07-04 10:36:54 PM  
They are saying the area around Staples will be cordoned off, those with the memorial tickets can get in, nobody else. Still, they'd probably hang around the perimeter. Or go to:

Jackson family Encino place
Neverland
Forest Lawn cemetary, rumors he will be buried there.

 
natas6.0 2009-07-04 10:46:32 PM  
This should be fun to watch.

If there's any 2 groups of idiots who deserve each other more.....

My grandfather is at Forest Lawn, I won't be surprised if he takes a few down.

Someday, someone somewhere will show up at one of these nasty picket parties by the wbc and pick them off with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into each and every one of them. I only regret that I will not be there to see it happen.

I hope the MJ fans kills one of them. I really do.

Or the other way around. Either would be fine.

 
Lee451 2009-07-04 11:43:08 PM  
That was a true dilemma. I do not know which I despise more: Fred Phelps and his distortion of God's Word or Michael Moore, the self-serving sack of sewage*. They tend to cancel each other out in my book.

*In other words, he is 10 kilos of shiat in a 5 kilo sack.

pay attention to us! we're cashing in on his death to get noticed!

It's soooooooooooooo ironic that the Bible says all sins are the same, and that condemnation is a sin. I guess these Westboro idiots are committing a sin that is as "bad" as homosexuality.

Everyone has a farking opinion. Get over yourselves.

 
ModernPrimitive01 2009-07-05 12:37:39 AM  
You know i found out the other day that if you google you can find Westboro's phone number. They have a hilarious automated insult system. I would recommend giving them a call, it's filled with hilarity

How in hell could a city provide protection for westboro against such a large crowd? There is no way a lawsuit against the city would go far.

I'm wondering why children's services isn't taking away their kids. They purposely put them in hostile, dangerous situations on a regular basis. The second a riot breaks out, I hope a few of the little brats gets ripped to pieces, just to see how westboro would react.

It's like suing a zoo for having your hand bit off after you put it in a lion's mouth. Mankind can fight darwin, and we do on a regular basis, but we can only do so much.

It's a pity we don't know exactly where the WBC be staging on Tuesday... because I'm sure all CPS would need is an anonymous tip that the kids are in a dangerous situation and haul them off.

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: Sword and Shield: TeddyRooseveltsMustache: baka-san: Can't wait till someone comes up with a way of suing them that works.

Here, sue them with this:

The 20rd magazine is a bit small. 50/100 round drums are where it's at for the Chicago typewriter.

I think drum magazines are illegal.


They are perfectly legal wherever you can possess magazines over 10 rounds.

And that's a 30-rounder, Sword and Shield

The problem with beating the shiat out of the WBC nutjobs is that they always bring children with them to hide behind. As much as I would like to put my foot up their collective asses, I wouldn't want to traumatize those poor kids any more than they have been already.

 
jso2897 2009-07-05 08:50:56 AM  
Cyno01: How could the WBC sue the city for not protecting them? Wasnt there a semi-recent supreme court case that the police have no duty to protect you?

This. There is no such tort in law. However, people are forgetting something: One of the WBC's more recent tactics, now that they are famous and the media picks up every story about them, is to threaten to show up at places where they have no actual intention of doing so. They get the same bang-to-the-buck, without the risk or effort.
I will be VERY surprised if they actually come to L.A. - this is enemy territory, and there is no way they would be safe here.

I know how you feel, but that's like saying you don't want to give your kid a shot becuase it would tramatize them. Sometimes, they need a little pain to get them on the right track. I'm not one to say that kids should be taken away for anything other than neglect, but these people have me questioning that standard.

I would like to see some sort of menacing counterprotest show up along with WBC some day. Maybe something along the lines of a hundred or so people in full "V for Vendetta" costume, just surrounding them for the duration and standing there.

I would also settle for Plague Doctors.
