Westboro Baptist protesters interview

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/24/westboro-church-protest-a_n_692827.html?ir=Comedy

The loathsome Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), best known for "protesting" the funerals of U.S. soldiers with signs saying "God hates fags" and "God hates America," staged another "protest" on August 13th, this time of the Jewish Federation. Presumably, the Federation's sin is being Jewish

I just read that these cocksuckers (sorry, nb, but no other word fits unless it invokes a form of the "f" bomb) were going to protest at the vigil for Alicia DeBolt in Great Bend tonight. Did anyone on here attend? If so, did the people at the vigil ignore these sick bastards?

Just heard that a large group of counter-protestors met Fred's Freaks when they arrived in Great Bend. Someone threw a brick through their van window and was arrested. There were 40 people waiting at the police station to bail him out before the cops even got him there. He made it back before the vigil began.

What insane reasoning did the phelpsies use for protesting the vigil?

Their main website says it's undergoing updates. We can only hope someone trashed it.

The insane reason seems to be that a 14 year old girl shouldn't be going out with men and going to parties. What sucks is that this is the closest I've came to agreeing with the Phelpses.

What proof do they have that she was "pursuing her lust" by "fornicating"? Why do all of the Phelpsies' protests center on sex? Yet Fred has about 19 kids that we know of and Shirley has at least one illegitimate child in addition to her others. Sounds like they're preaching against the very things that they themselves pursue in private. And we haven't even touched on why they hate gays so much. Makes you wonder...

Didn't say I like the Phelps brand of hypocrisy. The guy is a useless maggot of society. But I have to assume any girl that age going to a party with an adult male is probably not the purest in the pack. At least the girls I've know who were attending parties at that age also had other reputations. You don't have to like or support someone to admit they have a point though. This is one of those cases where you might listen to the message, but shoot the messenger.

So let's assume for a minute that the intent was "partying and fornicating," as the Phelpsie press release states. And again, there is no proof that this was the case. But going with your assumption, does that warrant being happy that she's dead? Does that warrant the further traumatization of a grieving family and a grieving community?

Read this part of my statement again EP. Then if you have to ask your question again I'll want to know why.

If you think saying Phelps might have a real point is suggesting that we should be happy the girl is dead and further traumatize the family then I'll have to politely asked you to get screwed. I don't like the Phelps cult. I don't like them protesting at any funeral.

Any more questions?

My 14 year old son is not allowed to go to parties at night with adults of either sex and I'm no saint.

There's alot of rumors coming out of Great Bend that there may be a gang connection to this. Wouldn't surprise me. The whole thing sounds more like a gang related type thing. Most killers prefer to try to hide victims or dump them in very desolate places. This was too radical, and in a place too well traveled to strike me as being the typical killer. It was like they wanted her found and maybe were making a statement with the burning.

My first thought was maybe she PO'd some older girl or girls by moving in on their men. That or the rumor it was a gang initiation both seem possible.

The key word in all of this is "rumors."

I think everyone is aware of that EP. I have no idea exactly what happened. I do however, think there's something a little more unusual going on in this case.
