If there was ever a time that a riot in that area would be appropriate...

I can't wait for 3:49. This should be a free-for-all.

MJ was "nationality-confused"?

 
Walker [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 12:48:42 PM  
They gonna get killed. Those MJ fans are nuttier than a fruitcake. They take after their hero.

*Whew!* (They're going to need a bigger sign.)

Oh man, I might actually have to show up at this thing.

You got me on that one, no clue. But then again, what does WBC ever say that makes sense?

Can't argue that.

Maybe since he was a singer, they'll do their new "God Hates the World" Hymn:

Story starts at 1:00, with sample goodness.

Walker: Those MJ fans are nuttier than a fruitcake.

I honestly don't know which side to cheer for. I hope both sides follow a policy of MAD if they get into a fight.

kitryne: Oh man, I might actually have to show up at this thing.

You should hand out baseball bats and pick-axes to the combatants.

Can you just imagine the publicity the Taser Companies are going to get out of this?

 
Benevolent Misanthrope [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 01:18:04 PM  
Oh, HELLS yeah! It is ON!

God, I hope someone broadcasts constant coverage of this. Like PacMan, I don't know who to pull for. But it'll be entertaining to watch.

 
BunkyBrewman [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 01:34:25 PM  
Holy crap. This is not going to end well... at all.

 
Hollywood Cole [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 01:39:26 PM  
Wow I seriously hope those Jackson fans get Dangerous and go off the wall and beat it. It would be a thriller.

that's all I got

I wish it would end badly, but it won't. There will be some yelling and that's about it.

However, the message that God hates pedophiles is hard to argue with.

I think the point that they are (poorly) trying to make here is that Michael claimed to be a citizen of the world. Ergo, that by default makes him not a Real AmericanTM.

So ok- everyone knows that they do this in part in order to incite activity against them that they can take to court, which finances these shenanigans.

Has anybody come up with a litigation-proof way to express one's first amendment rights to tell these people to fark off, without risk of a lawsuit? Squirtguns with ice water, perhaps? Impersonating them, getting in with them, with signs they would find wholly offensive?

Someone needs a picture of that guy in the Letterman protest holding the "I'm a right wing nut" sign.

Here we have a chance for two wrongs to become a right.

 
Dr.Knockboots [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 02:38:00 PM  
Oh dear lord.. some of those MJ fans are some pipe-wielding negroes that will not take kindly to these idiot religious nutjobs.

I hope the Phelps crew gets massacred.. and the police turn a blind eye.

You forgot that that specific location is just a stone's throw from Watts, Compton, and East Los Angeles, not exactly bastions of civilization.

 
Prohest 2009-07-04 03:53:34 PM  
Michael should be melted into lego, then the kids can play with him for once..

You mean... EAST SIDE DAVE?!

There's a whole story behind that. He's actually the father of two, has a steady job, and has a beautiful wife.

 
gilgigamesh 2009-07-04 03:55:41 PM  
Well, I guess we won't have to worry about those kooks anymore.

Remember folks: the first amendment guarantees freedom of speech, not freedom from consequence.

 
Bleck 2009-07-04 03:56:15 PM  
It is just a matter of time before someone beats the crap out of these asshats- preferably someone that doesnt have any money and they cant sue.

Let's see...Jacko allegedly liked shagging little boys and they're protesting him for being "nationality-confused"???

It's like they're trying as hard as they can to be facepalm stupid.

 
Somaticasual [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 03:58:18 PM  
It's too bad these things usually stop at "shouting match"..

//I'm going to laugh if, after dying, phelps meets god in heaven. Then, after being scolded for a total lack of brotherly love, god boots phelps back to earth as the butchest lesbian ever.

//Now, I know rosie might be jealous..

I'd pay to see this shiat.

 
leonel 2009-07-04 03:58:45 PM  
Okay everybody shush about this! We don't want Mr Phelps to catch wind of what might transpire when you confront half a million MJ fans in LA, or he'll decide not to come!

 
Arkanaut 2009-07-04 03:58:51 PM  
I'm surprised the WBC didn't make it to David Carradine's funeral.

Gene Simmons:

'I want the kids who've accused him, to be blunt, of molestation, to have their say, the former Kiss singer told Canadian press. 'I want to hear what they have to say. Not celebrities. Let's celebrate the talent and everything later, let's just figure out if there are any victims here.'

They know that, and that is why they sue the city, for not protecting them.

The cops don't like them any more than the rest of us.

Exactly! What we need to do is get a group of homeless people to take up a cause that the WBC will protest. (I don't know. Homeless gay soldiers or something)

Give the homeless baseball bats and broken bottles and let them completely massacre the WBC when they show and protest.

The WBC will be dead and the homeless will have a roof over their head.

WIN farkING WIN!

 
GhostWing 2009-07-04 04:03:37 PM  
Worst possible outcome for Phelps and WC would be for MJ's fans, and the media, to ignore them completely.

Phelps would have to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire in order to get attention.

The parents got paid off for their "molestation" (if it actually happened) and can't say anything as a term of their payoff.

Yeah but the closest we come to looting, is a Woot Off.

NO ROOMBA! NO PEACE!

I fail to see a problem with this.

If the Phelps gang is ever going to be stomped into a wet pulp, it will be at this event. Tuesday cannot come fast enough.

From Fred Phelps:
We will be there to tell you to Thank God for the death of this filthy, adulterous, idolatrous, gender-confused, nationality-confused, unthankful brute beast. We will be there to remind you that God Killed Wacko Jacko.

From Jesus:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Mathew 5:22)
Raca, or Raka, in the Aramaic of the Talmud means empty one, fool, empty head.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Mark 4:24)

Fred Phelps, a tree is known by it's fruit, unfortunately, what you do bears no fruit at all.

I don't know, so I have a couple of questions.

Does that agreement extend to after his death? It's not like he's gonna go to jail.

Also, that agreement was signed on behalf of the minor child.
Once that child is 18, is he still bound to that agreement?

Hopefully, the MJ Mourners will tell them to just Beat It!

 
TheMega 2009-07-04 04:13:11 PM  
Thinking the same thing as mentioned above.. some fans are DIE HARD fans and might go royally postal on their asses. Even if they brought every member, supporter, etc. they will still be outnumbered 100 to 1 with fans that won't put up with it. SHOULD make for some interesting Fark headlines - 'some' meaning more than one, hopefully with photo and/or video goodness.

/Muwahahahaaa

 
baka-san [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 04:13:27 PM  
Can't wait till someone comes up with a way of suing them that works.
