Westboro Baptist Church counter-protested by **MY UNCLE** and they ran away

I'm so proud of him. He is a biker vet who is part of the counter-protests against WBC.

Here's a video of him, at about 45 seconds in, he's the one crossing the street to confront them. You can't see his face, but he's a good guy and stands up for people who are being treated badly. Right after he crosses the street, WBC puts their cowardly tail between their legs and high tails it out of there. Their whole protest lasted between 7-10 minutes.



Let's give Uncle Mike some love. He's a good guy.

they threatened to come to Tacoma to disrupt the Powell children's funeral and we were able to get 4600 people to stand against them...they congregated about a mile away but never came near the funeral!

A long time ago my father told me that if you're big and strong, you're strong enough to be gentle and to take care of others who aren't. That sounds like Uncle Mike. Bravo to him.

PEACE!
