This is how we handle these morons in MY town!







Westboro Baptist Church Goes To Mississippi – And Loses

On Saturday USMC Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers, who was killed in action in Afghanistan April 7, was buried in Brandon, Mississippi.
That, by itself, is a sadly unremarkable – though certainly noteworthy and solemn – occasion for us to mark.
And in fact when Sgt. Rogers’ body returned to Brandon it was greeted by hundreds, or perhaps even thousands, of well-wishers who gathered at the roadside to honor the fallen American hero. The dashboard camera from Mississippi state trooper Elmo Townsend’s cruiser gives an indication of the scene last Thursday.

What is most notable about Sgt. Rogers’ funeral in Brandon, however, is what didn’t happen.
You see, the troglodytes from Westboro Baptist Church had threatened to spew their poison at Sgt. Rogers’ funeral.
But the Westboro mob wasn’t on the scene, and Sgt. Rogers was laid to rest without incident – thank God.
Why weren’t there protestors?
Planning ahead by the locals, as it turns out.


From an Ole Miss sports message board, a tidbit of information…

A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protestors) ran his mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his arse waxed. Police were called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about what had happened.
Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things that were put into place that most will never know about and at great expense to the county.
Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over. Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the Kansas plated cars could get out.
A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out, after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they were allowed to go on about their business.
Fred Phelps, the disbarred lawyer and Democrat activist who leads the Westboro congregation, will undoubtedly pursue some form of legal action for the way his people were thwarted in Brandon. Let him try. There isn’t a jury in Mississippi which will see things his way.
This is a template for how to handle the Westboro people. If lawsuits don’t work, other means will. Whatever it takes to keep them from harassing bereaved military families on the day their fallen loved ones are laid to rest.

I find these wackjobs detestable, and applaud the result.

However, municipal officials systemically looking the other way for certain issues?
Not cool.

This is different than a beat cop using judgement and deciding to give a warning, etc.
Stuff like this was how and why racism managed to linger on for so long.
Again, best possible cause for which to pull this kinda thing, but this is gonna leave a mark on a lot of officials involved.

Woulda been much more appropriate to just find a bunch of volunteers willing to live with a simple assult/battery conviction and pay a smaal fine and day or two in jail.

If they face an ACTUAL beatdown from a few concerned individuals everywhere they try to dishonor a fallen hero (and IMHO they dishonor God as well), how long do you think they'll stick with it?

But it's gotta be individuals, who then must actually answer to authorities, rather than any official.

Would a New Law Stop Military Funeral Protesters?
By Shannon Bream

Published April 20, 2011

The Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, Kansas, has succeeded in attracting plenty of attention by holding prominent protests at the funerals of fallen U.S. military soldiers and Marines.

In March, they scored a big legal victory when the Supreme Court decided in an eight to one ruling that the First Amendment protects Westboro members, and that their speech cannot be restricted simply because “it is upsetting or arouses contempt.”

Now a bipartisan coalition of U.S. Senators is stepping into the fray, proposing legislation that will set boundaries for those seeking to disrupt military funerals.

The SERVE Act would ban disruptive noise for a period of two hours before and after the funeral, and create a 300 foot buffer around the funeral services.

“Families of military servicemen and women should have the right, the ability to lay their loved ones to rest with dignity and peace,” Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., one of the bill’s sponsors says. Rubio predicts swift passage of the measure, adding, “I can’t imagine anyone being against it, at least no one in their right mind.”

Margie Phelps is the daughter of Westboro’s pastor Fred Phelps, and she successfully argued the group’s case before the Supreme Court. She says the legislation is completely off base.

When asked for her reaction to the proposed legislation, Phelps told Fox News, “These pandering perverts have no respect for the laws of man or God.”

Phelps also questions the validity of the law, calling it “grossly out of bounds of the Constitution.”

“I don’t know who the lawyers are advising these senators on this, but they need to be fired for incompetence,” Phelps said.

Arizona State University Professor Joseph Russomanno has talked with members of the Phelps family, and believes that in the wake of their Supreme Court victory, they are more emboldened than ever. He doubts the legislation, if it becomes law, will impact Westboro’s demonstrations.

“They believe they’ve been chosen to perform this particular mission, and I don’t see how they think that anything is going to stop them from doing that,” he said.

Russomanno also believes Westboro may have grounds for a legal challenge, should the church decide to sue over the buffers and noise restrictions.

“I think it’s entirely possible,” Russomanno says. “Having looked through the law I can see where they may find some places within it that are ripe for challenge.”

The House of Representatives will consider a similar measure.

Drafters of the bills believe they are narrowly tailored enough to meet constitutional scrutiny. But Phelps questions why the Senate is investing its time in this particular measure at all.

“Maybe next they can pass a law abolishing hell,” she said.

Film at 11.... 😟

In this case it was handled PERFECTLY!

When COMMON SENSE can be restored instead of mamby pamby lawyerspeak to solve issues then and ONLY then can America get off her knees!

Split them in TWO !!

These people are evil f'rs. Wish there was a hell so these idiots could burn there.

There is a Hell , hold on you'll see it soon enough ! ^^

YOU ever make a successful batch of Snickerdoodles? Tell 'em Fuzz...They're a BITCH! I only grade them and eat them though. I'm finicky about MY Snickerdoodles.

I only eat the ones that are made with the dough rolled between the breasts of mid 20 year old Danish virgin women.

They're out of this world!

They'll make you see CROS AND crop circles they're THAT damn good!!!![frypan]

Nuke Topeka!

Sure some aircraft might have to deviate from the flight plans but that should only add maybe 10 minutes to their trips.

Ahem...when you use words that have some sort of a kind of nature to create a loud sound and perhaps damage to buildings or people then you have to use the appropriate code/buzz word.

In this case, so as to avoid any detection with the fine folks that happen to work for the King of Queens but with an added 100 lbs or those monitoring the Matrix with Operation Raptor the correct codeword is

CROP CIRCLE

So, we're going to "crop circle" Topeka...got it?


Loose lips sink ships

Always knew I liked it down in Mississippi!

Much as I detest everything that these whack jobs stand for, this is too much. Way too far.

So, would it be ok to beat half to death anyone that espoused an unpopular opinion about abortion?

Is it ok for high school kids to beat up a kid that they don't like?

no - no - no - a thousand times no.....

Me personally, I think that drag queens should show up and have sex right in front of their protests - big burly bull dykes should have a friggin love fest right at the border of whatever area the westboro folks are set up in.

Porn actresses in minidresses and heels and mini-micro-teeny-tiny halter tops should show up and parade in front of them - no wait - those actresses should give a private preview to me in my living room first.

From the OP

"Fred Phelps, the disbarred lawyer and Democrat activist "

LOL

I know, I saw that. Didn't even want to bring up that absurdity. Hell, even saying 'Democrat activist' instead of 'Democratic activist' shows the bias.

/applaud

I like the way you think. Sorry if that means you may get lumped in with me on the hated train. 😉

So this guy rolls in and runs his mouth...we don't know what he said. Did he try to pick the fight himself???

Did he provoke it??? Was he full of piss and vinegar and let his mouth overload his ass????? I'm guessing yes...

If so...he deserved to get his ass WHIPPED! If not then, yeah....it's too much.



Rich, I know where you're coming from, but think about it......

Nobody HATES you Fuzz....You're a very intellegent guy....You're just radically left....most here are prolly just the opposite......but seriously....you NEVER concede a point. You only defend....you never give in....I can't ever remember you saying..."My bad...I was wrong on that..."....maybe I'M wrong but I just don't recall that....
