This means they are low on money.

Outside of the horribly offensive signs these people hold, they are notorious for lawsuits seeking damages from attacks and verbal abuse.

Those in the vacinity would be wise to avoid their words and signs.

I have a feeling this will not end well and probably end up on the news for reasons other than their intentions.

History suggests that is one of their intentions, along with drumming up reasons for lawsuits.

Well, considering that their main (and pretty much only) source of funding comes from the collections on the lawsuits they file because of assault (which they deserve anyway) - if enough people just turned a blind eye, eventually scum like this will be unable to continue there little fracas around decent American's.

The fact that there is still enough left of them for them to file lawsuits shows that somebody isn't doing it right.


But in all seriousness I expect the student body to come up with something big, should be worth watching. If the Columbus police has sense they just won't bother to show up for a couple hours or so, see what happens.

Very seriously, check your local laws. In some places, spitting on someone is considered assault. I know from experience. (Spittee not spitter)

What a shame because I would have come out firing.

My question is..how in the [censored] can these kids get arrested for disrupting a religious service (I mean the ones other then the idiot with the gun obviously)..

Yet they can't arrest and charge these idiots from Westboro with anything? Or at least put some laws on the books to divert them?

I'm not saying the kids are in the right they obviously aren't, but it seems like our desire to follow the constitution and protect the rights of citizens is pretty selective in no way that seems to make much sense.

Sadly, using a water gun to spray them would likely be considered assault and give him a way to make more money

My question is, who are they going to file the lawsuit against if say none of the perpetrators are caught :wink:. Not like the CPD never behaves in a questionable manner ethically, might as well make good use of that for once?

The right to free assembly, speech, and religion are paramount in this nation. It is always the speaker who earns the protection, not those who oppose the speech. Your analysis is completely backwards.

The best way to "hurt" these idiots is to ignore them entirely.

When the Westboro baptist church interrupts "the speech" of events already going on, funerals and the like they seem to be free to do that.

I don't see how its different from the kids interrupting a church service as long as they aren't crossing onto private property (again besides the obvious idiot with a gun but that wasn't what they arrested the others for).


We have a lot of values paramount to this country that we don't seem very committed to protecting, our current speaker of the house laughs at the constitution, people like Ron Paul who are strict constitutionalists get laughed at and called "radical". I'm not saying we shouldn't protect them, it's just amusing to look at how we go about picking and choosing
