Man pepper sprays Westboro Protesters

[ACM_Shadow]

I live in AUS so haven't heard about this to now, but how disrespectful is that, people who give up a portion of his/her life to make the world better. Get killed trying to do so, and then these pricks show up and shout those things. I applaud the man for pepper spraying them, and not doing something that doesn't cause permanent physical damage (which in my opnion these people deserve).

i do know that the WBC has been blocked from entering the UK, and that they were chased out of canada by a group. Litterally, they left with this group/mob on their heels.

I also know that the wbc's "church", "Virgin Sacrificial Podium", wtv was molotov'd a while back.

So, I tihnk they got off lightly. They're just looking for attention, and they're getting it. But eventually someone is going to physically attack them, and i don't mean with a pepperspray can.

Ihave an idea about how to deal with these assholes, heres what im thinking, some of the guys who go to this church must be old so eventually one of them is going to die and when they do organize a HUGE protest with signs that say things like...

"GOD HATES WBC"

or

"FAG HATERS GONNA HATE"

you get the idea, because i don't think these people understand what there doing to the people at the funerals they protest, and until they understand what it feels like to have so much venom spat at you after you've lost someone they can't understand/won't why this is so terrable.

And if they already do and they still proceed anyways then its time to knock some heads.

as much as I like the idea of them all getting beat into a bloody mess, we have to keep in mind that freedom of speech isnt for speech you like, its for speech you hate

Freedom of speech is a myth - and rightly so.

OT: Good. They're vile.

I seriously want Phelps and every single one of his rancid clan to be purged from this Earth because they are some of the worst examples of humanity on it. Not because they are inherently evil, sadistic or brutal but because they are something even more dangerous.

Brainwashed, elitist drones who honestly believe they are God's chosen and, besides, anyone who can come to the conclusion that God is killing soldiers because gay people exist is quite possibly the most...most...christ I can't even conjure up a word that conveys just how ridiculous that notion is!

I'm never usually one for outright violence but if I ever run into one of these c*nts when I am next in the 'States I don't think I would be able to restrain myself.

It's just a shame that the guy in the truck didn't paint: "Straight People Hate Fred Phelps!" down the side.

And by doing so he has guaranteed that they will sue him (which is exactly what they want) and his settlement dollars will pay for a few more "protests"

WBC is a cult and a pack of professional grifters who make buck by pressing provocative buttons and then suing people who rise.

I'm guessing that, eventually, the IRS will get them and stomp them flat before any other sort of justice occurs.

I just wish these people would come to Australia. This shit would not fly. Free speech my ass.

That's so true. I can't help bt think if they tried that in Australia they'd get the shit beaten out of them as soon as they pulled out the first sign. And we don't exactly have the First Ammendment... Like, we have laws, boviously, but no "super-barrier" of laws that instantly prevent it as free speech. If they started protesting here it would be instantly labeled hate-crime and they'd be jailed

And by the way, I am so against physical violence, but I wouldn't care in the slightest if Phelps was mysteriously shot through the head during a protest. It sounds horrible, but I can't help think it would make the workd a better place

Just remembered that my desktop background is a pair of gay couples photo-bombing a WBC protest. Man, I love that photo.
Anyway.
Why aren't these people gone yet? Don't real Christians hate them as well? That's what I heard, anyhow.

Not to steal a joke from Frankie Boyle, but you could give a shovel to every Homosexual, Soldier or anyone else sane and they'd dig a hole deep enough to personally hand Phelps over to Satan.

But yeah... Maybe he should have mount the curb and did the world a big favour. Sue your way out of death Phelps. However given that they are alive and well... I feel this incident will cause more harm than good.

Seriously tho, if they were in the UK, they'd have had their children taken away for reasons of psychological abuse by now, you just don't raise a child to be filled with that much hate.

Lucky for us... They'll never legally step foot on UK soil. Probably lucky for them too... We turn psychotically violent over what football team one supports... Never mind these lot protesting at a funeral. I doubt any amount of police would be able to stop that crowd from committing manslaughter.

True, but when someone dies to give you the right, or is prepared to die to give you the right to express yourself freely, you should have the common decency to either stay away from their funeral or keep your damn mouth shut. Over here (england) theres a muslim group which have protested and try to protest at wooton basset where we fly our dead back to, and aside from the entire crowd who despise them and the media attention they're tyring to get, the police seem quite happy to move them on their way. They also refuse their rights to parade and protest in a public street as there is already one under way. There are ways and means, and whilst i dont like governments refusing people their rights. In instances such as this, they are making the right decision.

That guys an idiot.
Its pretty common knowledge that the WBC have an army of laywers to help get money out of anyone that lays a hand on them.

He should have spent the time finding a way to rig a bottle of pepper spray to work like a tear gas grenade (I'm sure the internet would help).
In doing this, all he manages to do is get his arse taken to court and have his money taken to help fund their shit. And he'll likely have an assault charge added to his criminal record.

I admire the goal, but people need to come up with craftier ways of getting them.

 

[Ekonk]

Yeaahhhh spray those motherfuckers! Ridiculous.

 

[Shoqiyqa]

I'm surprised the man didn't start taking swings at anyone not knocked over by the spray.

I would probably have upgraded from "pepper spray" to "bat".

Combine harvester and not so much a drive-by as a drive-through ... only the "through" would apply both ways round.

 

[Chaos-Spider]

wurdz

umm, i can not unsee the title. i keep on seeing it was "man pepper sprays westboro protesters".

yuck.

And just like that, I burst into laughter.

Oh immaturity, you sure are entertaining.

You've likely seen this then, but either way, it's a great way of taking the piss out of the WBC.

Exuse me, but I have to ask, what do the figs have to do with anything? Ther're a fruit right?
As for the main topic, I'm surprised that the police have not already tried this method.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I wouldn't of had the kid with me, and I'd have been playing some Dio loudly out of the stereo.

Asshats deserve what they get.

 

[ultimateownage]

Spoiler: Problem, George?

It had to be said.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I've always had a thought if the Westboro church came to a protest:

Get a lot of paintball guns and a van.
Get a lot of people, make them wear black clothing and have on gloves and masks.
Put all the people in the van, drive to were dicknuts are.
Upon stopping, everyone runs out of the van and lines up like a firing line.
In unison, everyone lowers their weapons and shoots them.

It would be badass and hilarious.
