I hope you will be able to follow-up on this:
The
awful Westboro Baptist Church will be protesting SGT Donna Johnson's
funeral at 10:15am Saturday Oct 13th at the Raeford Presbyterian Church,
128 Edinborogh Ave, Raeford, NC 28376. If you live close, please go
& help
The
volunteers stand in line between WBC & the family. If you can't be
there, please repost so others will know about it. SGT Johnson was
killed in Khost, Afghanistan on Oct 1st by a suicide bomber.

While I may disagree with their methods, two things come to mind...
ReplyDelete1. they only protest at PUBLIC funerals, not private, family funerals. They say "if the media is going to be there, and the family wants to turn their son or daughter's funeral into a media event, we will be there", do they not? From what I understand, they do not protest private funerals, and make that clear on their website.
2. Their message is that soldiers are dying because we as a nation have turned from God are experiencing Judgement. If that is not true, then we are truly living in the Matrix.
As I've mentioned before, the PTB won't be satisfied until they have a war in every country.
Deleteignore them! by counter protesting them, you are only giving them the attention that they crave. in order to truly get under their skin, pretend as if they aren't even there. that's just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteWe had over 1200 people come out to counter protest this hate group! At one point, one of the Westboro idiots threw an American flag on the ground and started walking and stomping it. Needless to say, being near a military base....An American Soldier from Fort Bragg tackled him and gave him what he deserved. Then two more soldiers grabbed the flag off of the ground and held it up with pride! It is on youtube actually. We counter protested because, while laying your child to rest, would you want to see people who is happy that your child is dead? We blocked it!!!!!! :)))
ReplyDelete1,200? Wow, would not have expected that many.
