To everyone who is angry at Westboro:
Former colleagues of mine in law enforcement described to me when they, last year, had to "protect" thse shitbags at a Georgia protest.
They are ALL lawyers. Part of their "church" requirement is law school. They call ahead to the city and PD where they'll be and request protection. Their plan: Piss off people as much as possible, request police protection while they "excercise their rights", then, if anything happens...even so much as water thrown on them, they sue the city and PD.
They aren't right wing or left wing, Christian or anything else. They are all lawyers, and that is their plot for making money.
These shithead even do this: They rent several cars. They get a police escort into the protest. The cops escort them out. They then arrive in a public parking lot with several rental cars waiting, jump in, then flee in all different directions SO EVEN THE COPS cant follow them to the hotel.
At one GA protest, my buddy said there were almost no counter protestors, so these shitheads had looked up recently killed police officers, and began making comments to the cops about them, trying to provoke the cops who were protecting them. The PD was briefed on this action ahead of time, and luckily they didnt get their lawsuit. THey even saw one cop, a former Army guy, with a military tattoo and began shit talking him about his dual-service and dead cops and soldiers.
These people are the filth of the Earth. DO NOT do anything but ignore them, they want a lawsuit, dont give it to them.
