Westboro Baptist Church will protest the finerls of the movie theater shooting victims

even though Gov. Bobby Jindal threatened to arrest them if they showed up. It's amazing these people are even still around. I can't say I was sad when Fred Phelps died a few years back.

Probably not. The threat has already elicited the desired response. Buns_of_Fire Jul 2015 #8

They are always trolling for a good civil rights violation lawsuit.

can we just assume they will protest every funeral and stop talking about them? They just do it for attention.

IIRC, the last couple of times they've promised this, they were a no-show. Perhaps some of the marginally-less-insane members of Phreaky Phred's* Cult may have decided that it's harder to spend those millions they collect when their heads have been removed from their shoulders with a baseball bat.

"Yes, Westboro Baptist Church hopes to peacefully picket #Lafayette funerals with a helpful message" -- from the article

Gee, I wonder what their "helpful message" might be?

* I apologize. Momma always said that I should only say good things about the departed. So here it is: Fred Phelps. He's dead. Good.
