WBC to Protest the Funerals of Virginia Tech Students
April 17, 2007 by
April 2007 has been a month ripe with scandals, heated social debate and tragedy. The Virginia Tech massacre has illustrated the capability of barbarism in human beings, and unfortunately, such illustration happens on a daily basis. It is not difficult
to scan the news channels and websites to find a daily death toll throughout the world that easily tops the 100 mark. Such a number is the result of murders alone, and many try desperately to understand what brings a person to take innocent lives. Sadly, to truly understand the mentality needed to massacre groups of people, a person would need to possess such a warped mind-set.
Nevertheless, deluded mentalities are not only held by troubled murderers. The Westboro Baptist Church (God Hates Fags) has announced on one of their many websites that they plan to protest the funerals of the Virginia Tech students. The following is taken from their site www.godhatesamerica.com:
"WBC will preach at the funerals of the Virginia Tech students killed on campus during a shooting rampage April 16, 2007. You describe this as monumental horror, but you know nothing of horror -- yet. Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. "They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads" (Eze. 7:18).
Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. Your military chose to shoot at the servants of God today, and all they got for their effort was terror. Then, the LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants."

Protestors, such as the Westboro Baptist Church, who picket military funerals and preach hate and bias, are protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I thought I had pretty much seen everything,and heard of more. Wrong! Moving to the Midwest from California was different, that's for sure. That's because back in sunny California, we didn't have Fred Phelps!
