Connecticut School Shooting
December 15, 2012
By: Emma Riley Sutton
Less than 48 hours after the Connecticut school shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, which took place on Dec. 14, the Westboro Baptist Church is already making plans to picket. The Westboro Baptist Church is known for picketing and protesting at funerals across the country.
Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment, Shirley Phelps-Roper tweeted on Dec. 15.
They need to come back to Oklahoma, Bryan Weathers, from Moore, said. We know how to take care of them here.
Westboro 'God hates Fags' Baptist Church is planning to picket at Sandy Hook, to praise 'God's judgment,' Margie Phelps tweeted as well on Dec. 15.
Westoboro Baptist Church is known for carrying signs that read Thank God for dead babies and the like. It is unknown what kind of signs will be seen, if the Westboro Baptist Church actually pickets in Newtown, CT.
The Supreme Court ruled that it is legal for the Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals. Despite that ruling, many cities and towns have passed laws that force the Westboro Baptist Church to stay a specific distance away from funerals.

(12,336 posts)I was flipping channels one night and landed on hannity interviewing shirley phelps. She was spouting her usual insanity and hannity actually looked puzzled and said, "What's the matter with you? You look like a witch!" Just goes to show you that even a blind sqirrel can find a nut every now and then.
I hope that if they do show up, they are ignored. Just do not pay attention to them at all. I think they are attention whores so ignoring them is the best thing to do.
