5 million dollar Lein put on Fred Phelp's Church and LawOffice,

[walldude]

Fred Phelps gets nailed to the wall!!!!!

A federal judge in Maryland on Thursday ordered liens on the Westboro Baptist Church building and the Phelps-Chartered Law office.

If the case presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett is upheld by an appeals court, the church, at 3701 S.W. 12th, and the office building, at 1414 S.W. Topeka Blvd., could be obtained by the court and sold, with the proceeds being applied toward $5 million in damages Bennett imposed on church members for picketing a military funeral.

The $5 million penalty is the result of a lawsuit filed against three of the church’s principals by Albert Snyder, the father of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder, whose funeral was picketed by church members

Apparently God's not on Fred's side!! Woo Hoo!

1. Awwwww

I'm so sad to hear that Phelps is going to loose his church .... not!

Sad thing is, the property is probably far from the value of the damages.

2. Too bad they can't lose their houses too...

make those homophobic MFers live in a cardboard box and wear newspapers for shoes.

I like to think I don't HATE anyone, but those assholes certainly test my belief system.

3. Well from what I've read the church (if you could call it that)

and the office are only worth about 600 grand. The judgment was for 5 million. With any luck... they'll take everything he's got before it's over.

5. I wouldn't wish homelessness on anyone as punishment.

I think making them actually pay for breaking the law is enough. Homelessness isn't a joke.

7. Not meant to be a joke...

I want those pieces of excrement to SUFFER. And yep, that does go against just about every moral fiber in my being, but I can't think of lower life forms on the planet than the "God Hates Fags" uh, "church?".

I'm an atheist, but if there IS a heaven and hell, these bastards will surely spend eternity in the latter.

4. Wow, karma strikes again!!

[Pastiche423]

6. Please let them lose their appeal!

8. It looks like the intent is to shut down WBC, not to collect $5 million

I got stupid once and watched the videos of Fred preaching on fred-hates-fags.com. You know how you can always tell when a picture is taken in the living room of someone's trailer somewhere? Well, that's what this looked like--cheap paneling, low ceiling, about three inches clearance between the doors and the ceiling...

Unless Fred's lawsuit business really took off over the last few years, Westboro Baptist Church is being run out of a doublewide.

9. A lien too, I bet.
