Thumbs up Westboro Baptist Church Goes To Mississippi – And Loses

Great to see this happening - especially the police bending the law for what is right.

quote:
On Saturday USMC Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers, who was killed in action in Afghanistan April 7, was buried in Brandon, Mississippi. That, by itself, is a sadly unremarkable – though certainly noteworthy and solemn – occasion for us to mark.

A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protestors) ran his mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his arse waxed. Police were called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about what had happened. Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things that were put into place that most will never know about and at great expense to the county. Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over.

Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the Kansas plated cars could get out. A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out, after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they were allowed to go on about their business.

Also took a few minutes to watch this. Dash board camera of the turnout for the marines return home:

Yeah, except the source has a bit of a clear bias, amplifying some spurious affiliations between Phelps and the Democratic Party.

i don't particularly care for the WBC folks. in fact, i quite hate what they stand for, and what their rationality (or lack there of) on what they do is.

however, on the other hand, there shouldn't have been any violence done to them. as much as i hate them, the guy had a right to free speech and the local had to no right to resort to violence for someone just speaking their mind.

in the end, i'm glad that they were not able to attend the funeral. the kind of protesting (hate speech, is what it really is) does not belong at a funeral (much less anywhere else either). but i think this episode also brings out the stereotype of "cletus"; some local country bumpkin from mississippi (who was probably fat, no less) who just resorted to violence against someone who has a basic right to free speech (The very same right the marine was fighting for). had this whole thing happened w/out any violence towards the group, it would have shined a better light on the southerners.

I know I'm going to get massive flames for this; and by no means am I siding w/ the WBC folks. and i'm glad they were unable to make it to the funeral; but the violence ensued against the guy wasn't necessary.

Apparently Fred Phelps is an activist Democrat in Kansas, who ran for the ballot in the late 80's and all through the 90's, 3 times as governer, once as senator, and twice as mayor. He also is closely tied to Al Gore's campaign in 88.

lol.... what's worse, that..... or THIS!!

Former KKK leader seeks office as mayor of Lake Wales, Florida



Democrat John Paul Rogers was the head of the United Klans of America, an organization that was one of the most violent branches of the KKK.

70-year-old Rogers wants to become the next mayor of Lake Wales, but critics say he could have a tough time bringing the town together because he’s a former member of Ku Klux Klan.

Rogers, who is currently a commissioner, spoke with 10 News Tuesday afternoon and says, “I’m not running for the Klan for Grand Dragon.” That’s because Rogers has already had that title.

http://www.wtsp.com/news/article/18...-Rogers-speaks-





I'm sure if this were a Republican, the national media would bury it like they're doing to this story.

I don't much care for the violence, either, but I have to admire the concerted effort at subverting their transportation.
