Westboro was a no-show at the memorial service

yesterday in Aurora, but they presented a Photoshopped picture of themselves being there.

http://www.examiner.com/article/westboro-baptist-church-posts-photoshopped-image-from-aurora-prayer-vigil

The pic showed 12 crosses with a couple WBC members holding picket signs. Well, a number of those present at the vigil this evening let it be known that they never saw a single member of the protesters anywhere and that the image wasn't real.

That is exactly what the case is as the image tweeted by Phelps was originally taken with just the crosses and no sign-holders anywhere to be found.

Oh, and the tweet with the pic posted by Phelps was her last of the evening as well with not a single word coming through the rest of the vigil.


I guess they knew what could have happened to them if they showed up.
