Westboro Baptist Church Gets Owned!

[countrycorey]

Welcome to Mississippi. This happened an hour from me and I loved it.

Anybody who can say what they say about our troops does not deserve to call themselves Americans. They deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell for what they've done.

 

[jon5212]

^^^ Yes really, whether you like it or not we ALL have rights, and you actually don't have a right to "slit" someone because you don't like what they are saying do you realize how stupid that is?

Again I will reiterate that I do not agree with that these people do... however they have a right to do it. Just as you have a right to ignore it or have them removed for trespassing.

Free speech?

Going to a young soldier's funeral who had nothing at all to do with your political message and saying "Your son deserved to die. God is punishing you!" is not one iota worse (or different) than saying Phelps "deserves to die". It's no different at all.

In fact, those who say "Phelps deserves to die" are at least directing their message at the target of their political opinion, so if there is any difference, it's that Phelps is even worse that those who say he should die.

Phelps is an unwanted sales phone call during dinner. A religious nut who rings your doorbell when you are in the shower. An email claiming you have $20 million in Nigeria waiting for you. A virus embedded in a legitimate website. Someone talking on the phone at a stoplight when it's green.

All of those are "free speech" I suppose as well, but they can all die too IMO.

how can a public cemetery have them removed for trespassing if its public property ?? And thats what makes this wrong . we as a free people should have the freedom to bury our loved ones in peace .

By the way Amen on that McRat !!!!

The reactionary responses of some people on how they feel toward Phelps is exactly what the douche bag desires. This is exactly the response that causes the fire to burn hotter on both sides. I do not condone anything that the nut job does; however, morons like this do not deserve moron responses. To do so only belittles the response and reaction. It's easy to punch someone in the mouth when they deserve it, or stick a knife in someone's neck. But what does it prove? Nothing, else your the idiot who let your opinion get the best of you, not him. Your the one sitting in jail.

Case in point: Dr. George Tiller's murder inside a church. That man was responsible for killing tens of thousands of babies. However, the man that murdered him was a pawn running a fool's errand. Do I like what Tiller did for a living? No. Was it right for him to be murdered for what he did for living? Ultimately, no!

There comes a time in everyones life when you say F---It and go with your gut feeling; right or wrong.

 

[McRat]

For me that time is usually every 15 minutes, except when I'm sleeping. Then I just dream of telling everyone to FO.

The way i see it is those people can use their freedom of speech all they want at their church or property. If anyone wants to listen to their BS they can go there to hear it. It looks like those church members could be arrested for inciting a riot at the very least. Hopefully other places will follow Mississippi's lead. Around here we stop when we meet a funeral procession and if you don't the cop leading will persuade you to do so. Some other States i have been in i have met funeral processions and no one stopped but me with horns honking behind me. Even seen one pass a funeral procession.

Amen! Some issues aren't that black and white and when your protesting a military funeral is one of those times. I don't care if the Supreme Court says it's free speech or not. It's downright disrespectful.

atriot::army:They chose their path.There is right and wrong and that can be blurred by politics.I understand both points but have some respect for those that have served and passed,cross the line and there is always more room in the obitchuarys.imo

Wtf is this world comin to?

 

[McRat]

Q) What is long and hard on the Westboro minister?
A) 4th grade ... Give him a couple more years.

Q) How many WBC members does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A) All of them, but CNN must be present or they won't do it.

Q) Why did the WBC member cross the road?
A) Not sure, but I hope they do it on the 15 freeway at rush hour.

Edit: Perhaps at night wearing a ninja outfit would be better...

How long until there is a Youtube video of a Dmax owner rolling past the protesters on the side of the street and flipping the DSP switch to the "smog" setting?:roflmao:

I agree we must protect freedom of speech. However, when it spills to a place like a funeral and is disruptive to any funeral service, military or not, the line has been crossed.

 

[jon5212]

^^^ Thats why the constitution doesn't have those "lines" in it. Once you start giving "The Man" lines that can't be crossed... they will never stop. As is already apparent with a lot of things in our country.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

 

[madmatt]

then I guess we can't leave it to the man and should follow Mississippi's lead?? If ANYONE was screaming at me what kind of piece of shit my dead kid was on the day I'm saying my last good bye,,,they will be the next one laying in a pine box,, end of story.
There's just some things you don't do and the gov shouldn't have to step on the constitution to stop it.
Put some fear in these idiots once or twice and it will stop.

Freedom of speech has never been without boundaries.

It is to stop the ruling government from throwing people in jail to silence their opposing political beliefs. Many countries do exactly that. If you believe in Democracy, and state it publically, you can be imprisoned or killed legally.

Freedom of speech is often capped off when it involves hindering other people's civil rights. The right to have a dignified funeral is one of the oldest traditions of all religions (or even non-religious services) in the history of mankind. It is a basic civil right, and for many it is practicing their religious belief.

Phelps has no problem with removing the religious rights of others. So any pretense that what he does is in the name of religious freedom is a crock. He does what he does in an effort to violate the constitutional rights, and civil rights, and religious freedom of others.

If he wants attention so bad, have him just wreck a car on YouTube or something.

 

[jon5212]

^^^ You do realize the first person that makes a violent act towards the idiots at WBC the SWHTF and thats exactly what the WBC wants.

I'm just trying to get the point across... yes many don't like what they have to say... I don't like it... But I also don't like what others have to say... but they have the right to say it.

Once you start drawing lines there will be no limit to the amount of lines that can be drawn. Thats not what this country is about.

Agreed. Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in, whether or not it's considered "legal"

The MAN, can only take away rights if the people let him. That is the problem with your logic.:thumb:
