DISGUSTING! Fred Phelps is going to be in my area this Saturday...
with his family protesting the funeral of Sergeant Devin Snyder of Cohocton, New York.

I'm so fu*king angry that this hate is going to be brought to our community!

Thank you Freedom Riders for your support of the Snyder family and the picket that you will form to block these scumbags from view!

3. I'll probably be charged with assault and sued...
That's how these folks support this hatred.

6. Fuck glitter! Get a sling shot and fling bags of shit at them.
Or one of those tennis ball launchers they sell at petco. But stuff the tennisballs with shit.

If you do it from a distance they probably won't see you do it and therefor you are not going to get sued.

4. Don't count on it. They announce that they are going to be
everywhere, and they rarely actually show up. They get just as much press with the announcement. They said the same thing in my area and never showed up, but they sure did get the community out, just in case.

5. He may not.
The family stated that they would be in this area but never showed either.

Good thing-there was talk of violence and, from what I understand, a run on ammo.

7. They protested the gay friendly policies of the local university here
Two guys who later said they barely knew each other went into a big soul kiss right in front of Daddy Phelps. They said it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Daddy Phelps couldn't get out of here fast enough and canceled the rest of the day's "events."

He hasn't been back. I don't think he will be.

Just sayin'. You don't have to be violent to get rid of them.

as a free speech protest.

10. You have to wonder, since we have a Liberal President...
why he can't direct the miltary to edit DOD Instruction 1300.15 (Military Funeral Support) to authorize the honor guard to fire the volleys with mortars at any funeral the Phelpses plan to attend.

11. Do me a favor, go out and buy some air horns
and stand behind them and let them off. I'll even reimburse you for them if you post pictures. Blowing their ear drums out would be a good start.

12. OT at what level are air horns breaking the law? Say assault?
I ask this because I have had this debate at work. Provable damage, like hearing, is obvious but spraying someone with a garden hose has already been found to be assault.

13. they were in nashville the other day. heavy news coverage.
reporting days before that they were coming. reporting for a day after they left.

there were THREE people from the westboro church protesting...THREE.

now why does the media report on THREE PEOPLE PROTESTING....reporting for days.....


News of Westboro Baptist Church’s plans lit up social media sites, resulting in a counter-protest of about 2,000 people Monday outside Woodmont Hills Family of God church on Franklin Pike. In less than 10 minutes, two hours before the funeral’s start, the three Westboro protesters took their leave.

Earlier Monday, the three protested outside Gordon Jewish Community Center in Bellevue and the Islamic Center of Nashville on 12th Avenue South. During their short protest of the Islamic center, someone slashed the tires on their rented SUV. Metro Police took a report, but no one has been charged.
