Bikers plan to foil the Westboro Baptist Church's Plans

[Mrsoupcup]

We heard earlier yesterday that WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) was planning to protest the funeral of a 9 year old girl who had been shot at the Saturday shooting in Tuscon, but surprisingly Bikers may have something to say about that. Biker groups like the Patriot Guard Riders and The Hells Angels have taken up the cause to help gather as many people as possible to keep the WBC away from the funeral. Surprising enough, this isn't even the first time this has happened, the Patriots and The Hells Angels have both counter protested the WBC before.
So it's official, criminal bikers are better Human beings than the WBC, honestly this act of human kindness by gangs has show the human race may not be a lost cause.

So um... Go Bikers? What do you Escapists think of this situation?

[sub]Edit: To clarify when I said gangs and criminals I was referring to The Hells Angels, not the Patriot Guard Riders. (The Patriots are a collection of old timers and bike fanatics who like well... Bikes.... And America...)[/sub]

YES! Go Hell's Angels!

I'm glad the Angels are there too. As dad said, the Patriot Guard Riders won't break the law to keep the WBC out...The Hell's Angels will do whatever it takes.

just one thing

why the fuck would the WBC want to picket the funeral of a 9 years old?

even for a religious fanatic it don't make no sense

oh wait

religious fanatic

nevermind

I'm happy to see the Patriot Guard Riders again!

I didn't see Hell's Angel's coming to help out, though. It's a nice twist.

It's actually a scam. They go to these things to protest and way whatever they have to to get someone to take a swing at one of them, then they sue... it's fucking disgusting.

A lot of the Hell's Angels chapters (or whatever the clubs are called) do charity work and stuff. Repairing low income homes, bringing christmas presents to orphans and such... A lot of them are still really fucking terrible criminals.

Quite frankly, this is just absolutely fantastic. It just proves that the WBC is the lowest of the lowest of the low. I mean, the Hells Angels? Though they are definitely guys I would want going against my enemies. So, yeah. Good on them both.

These being the same people who believe that Iraqi insurgents don't kill American troops, homosexuality does.

They're not the only ones doing this, I just used them as examples. I'm pretty sure multiple other groups and hundreds of people are going to show up for this. As I said in a previous comment, this is the very limit of what people will tolerate from the WBC.

 

[smearyllama]

Yeah, these guys are cool.

The WBC are mostly assholes, but I feel sorry for their kids.
They'll never fit in, and are being raised on a diet of hate and ignorance.

That said, those who threaten violence against them are worse.
Instead of trying to make them understand through showing compassion, they attack them for being different.
This is why I would provide them sanctuary in my home, if only to protect them until the authorities arrived.

Still, the PGR is an honorable group of men, and I'd definitely pitch in to just stand there in defense of the families.

EDIT: Ok, so they're not entirely about religion. Now it makes a little bit of sense.
As a pacifist though, I wouldn't stand for anyone being physically harmed on my front lawn.

Apparently, it's what they do. I don't even want to know what kind of disgusting signs they're going to have there. I mean, some psychopath gunned down an innocent 9-year old, and they're PROTESTING HER FUNERAL? Ugh.

 

[WorldCritic]

So I'm supporting the Hell's Angels now? Didn't see that one coming.

 

[Wolfram23]

What kind of accent does that guy in the video have? Is that like a normal accent for some region of USA or does he have a speech impediment of some sort? Sounds a bit like Ray Romano.

Anyway... damn WBC. So hateful. Any idea why they're going to protest at a 9 yr old's funeral??

Well the problem is you are playing from the wrong rule book. It's got nothing to do with religion, they do all this cause bereaved people (who are already not in their right frame of mind) to lose it and physically attack them. Then they sue. They are the worst kind of leeches.

I know right? Of course stuff always get's weird with WBC counter protests. Like at Comicon with all the guys dressed as Vikings XD

Well see, their...ah...logic, is that the gunman who killed her and others was sent by God to punish America for allowing people to be gay. In fact, pretty much anything bad that happens to anyone, anywhere is an act of God to punish us for allowing gays to continue living. Doesn't it make SO much more sense now?

Anyway, yeah, go bikers. That's pretty fucking awesome of them. It's better then throwing trash at their kids.(Which is what happened in a documentary where a guy went to live with the WBC for a while.)
