Just in case
anyone ever wondered what Fred Phelps was all about, read this
I’ve known about some of this crap for a while, but the link details the whole charade- Phelps et al, a bunch of lawyers, are out there trying to provoke reactions, and then sue when they get hammered.
It’s a tough game; I’m sure there is a fine line between the idiots having their asses handed to them and waking up in a burlap bag 9′ underground in a forest preserve. Someday they’ll have that happen, and they won’t be able to sue from the grave. Wonder what they’ll do then?
Meanwhile, these assholes have inadvertently begun things like the Patriot Guard, and that can only be a good thing.
I keep wondering if anybody at Westboro has considered that maybe God hates Fred Phelps.

The whole point is, it’s not much of a church. And they could give a shit about God. They just want to get attacked so they can sue
I had an encounter w/ these assholes about 10 years ago in little, Scottsburg, Indiana. They were on the corners of the main intersection with their, God hates Fags signs. I parked and walked up to one guy and asked him WTF the signs were about and what they were doing (never heard of them before that).
He started to explain things w/o getting all goofy but as soon as the rest of them saw me talking to him they swooped in like a “Palestinian Car Swarm”. Fred’s daughter, Shirley was the worst. Just started screaming at me immediately and really getting in my space. Freaked me the hell out. I put on my best Drill Sgt voice and out hollered them to get the F**k out of my face while backing up. A local cop intervened about then and told them to knock that shit off or he was gonna arrest the whole bunch of them.
As we all know, they’ve just gotten weirder w/ time.
Amazing to me that nobody has ambushed these assholes and sent a few of them to meet their maker yet. Yeah, I’m a Patriot Guard member.
Good for you, Unk.
