Wesboro Baptist Church

I don’t know if many of you have seen the tragedy that happened in Pennsylvania in which 7 children died in a house fire on a dairy farm.  It happened in a very nearby community to mine.  The tragedy alone is sad enough, but add in Westboro and its just sickening.  They’re planning to come picket the viewings and funeral. I just cannot understand it. Its as if they see that a funeral has made headlines so they must go and disturb the grieving families. 

I understand all about the First Amendment rights but there has got to be something that can be done about them disturbing functions such as funerals. Its just not right.  I am so enraged by their plans to show up.

I remember when I was in college they would always show up in the area…and I don’t get it? Why here? What is in PA that draws them here? Relatively its a pretty conservative area.  Not that it makes it better for them to go into a more open area and do the same things, but I just don’t get why they are so drawn to this area?!?

When I heard they were coming to these funerals i literally felt nauseous. OMG. I want to punch Fred Phelps in the face.

The community is planning on making a human barricade to shield their blaring signs and disgusting faces from the family and friends.  I may go.

Their viewing is tues. night and the funeral is wed. morning. If you’re the praying type, I’m sure the family and everyone would appreciate it.
