Default Riding my EG in protest 2

Joplin update: The Westboro bunch was seen at a local truckstop. A bunch of truckers blocked them in and would not move. They were unable to attend Obama's rally. A few got out, but local bikers kept them at bay. No violence. Mission accomplished!

All of my extended family is from the Joplin area. Makes me sick that those clowns even showed up.

I just don't understand the "no violence" being a mission accoplished. These bozos disrespect out fallen soldiers. A good beating is the only thing that will make them think twice about their disrespect for our fallen heros, and the very least that they deserve for their cowardly acts!

Good job and thanks for reporting it. While a good ol' whup'n is in order, I feel for the person who administers it. Those jerks know what thier doing and they've got thier bases covered. Whomever does the dirty deed will unfortunately pay dearly for ridding us of the scum. IMHO

Too bad they couldn't block the motorcade from heading to the golf course...

Some guys know how to administer a good *** kickin' and get away with it. Even if you do get caught what jury will convict anyone of educating these poor misguided souls about respect for our fallen soldiers. The brave fighting men gave their all defending us. They can't fight anymore, but we can. They gave their lives, I ain't scared of a night in jail. Small price to pay considering whom your standing up for. Sorry all you pacifists, but a good ol' fashioned *** kickin' is what these people need. It's the least we can do for those who gave their lives!

That's exactly what they want.

It would get them a boatload of publicity, and they're complete media ******.
Worse, it would get them more money to fund their parade of hate. Several of Phelps' inbread clan are lawyers (shocking, huh?) and they make money by suing individuals and local jurisdictions when they get assaulted.

These people are beneath notice or contempt. It's not worth giving them what they want.
