Step too far for Phelps

It would be cool if Obama showed up at their location and said something simple like, "While you certainly have the right to do this, it is inappropriate. Be nice."
 
What to do with Phelps:

1) wait that phelps is alone
2) give him roofies , or whatever drug make him unconscious
3) photography him in gay sado maso costume with a lot of guy having obvious big erection. Slip him a viagra to make him have one. lotta photo.
4) put him back where his family can find him, put a lot of alcohol on his clothing
5) each time he yell something about gay in the future, publish one of the photo.
 
In our society, we have to put up with the Phelps whelps.
But we can make it very difficult/too expensive for them to fester as they do out of their sewer in Westboro.
Overt physical response will just raise sympathy.
Showing their psychotic approach to decent living is the only decent way to respond.
And if when the tires on their vehicles get slashed, the $2000 replacements (each) might be an aid to curtailing their journeys. :)
 
Has anyone ever picketed WBC (the Phelps home, if I recall correctly)? Do the same rules apply to standing on the sidewalk outside someone's home as standing on the sidewalk beside a cemetary?

I'm guessing that you write for Hollywood.

I suppose the same rules apply. But you cant come back day after day, that would probably be harassment.
 
If this were a movie, there would a Tuscon Sheriff with a cowboy hat who would sneak Jared Loughner out of jail, drive him to the funeral, put a gun in his hand and pat him on the shoulder while saying, "Son, I got a job for ya."

I think people have tried it in the past. But the Phelps' are smart enough not to engage them. They simply ignore them, until they lose interest and go home. Which is what everyone else should do.
 
The funeral rats have said they'll bypass the child's funeral, due to pressures.
Now, to lean on them to stop doing that at all!
 
They agreed not to do it in exchange for airtime on a radio station. I don't think radio stations should do this. Or if they do, they should require the interview be in-person at the station, not done over a telephone.

What makes you think they are not genuine in their professed beliefs? I can't think of anything I've seen or heard that causes me to doubt their sincerity?

I'm not saying I doubt their bizarre beliefs. But I doubt their conviction that every publicity event they seek out is because something about the event outrages them. In other words, there are plenty of places to protest your homophobic beliefs besides the highest publicity event in the country at the time.

...to prevent Phelps and his group from protesting near funerals.

If you think these laws are anything but an attempt to silence Phelps, then you are crazy.

"To silence Phelps"? Like anyone gives a rat's ass what he has to say? Come on. It's an attempt to get the guy and his horrible ideas from increasing the grief of unrelated people Phelps chooses to harass.


I believe CNN quit using Phelp's name and instead described the group more anonymously. Perhaps they finally get the fact they are being manipulated by Phelps.

Aren't cemeteries private property? Why can't the owners just bar them from the property?

That was my thought. How about closing the cemetery to the public the day of the funerals? If my relative were buried there I certainly wouldn't mind the minor inconvenience.
 
slingblade said:
Apparently not. That's the argument I've always heard: they're public places, or the grounds around them, like a city street next to the cemetery, are public lands.

eta: So if the public street they choose to stand on happens to be 20 feet away from a funeral in progress, they're not breaking any laws, because anyone can be on any public street.

It'd be unworkable to rezone every cemetery so that it has a natural buffer zone around it. Many cemeteries are closely bordered by streets on all sides.

There might be some cemeteries that are public, especially older, smaller ones. But I'm pretty sure most are private.
 
The time that the WBC group showed up in Houston to protest a military funeral, they were set up across the street from the church where the services were being held. They didn't go to the cemetary. Anyone coming to the service had to pass right by them in order to get in to and out off the church.

The Patriot Riders always offer to attend a funeral that the Phelpses are threatening to picket, to shield the mourners from the sight of those scum. But they always ask the family first.
They're good guys.

You know among my ideas to at least **** on the phelps parade, one that would seem perfectly legal and actually doable is the " Freedom Reekers"

There is nothing illegal about smelling like 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. And there is nothing illegal about standing by them.

So, i am thinking, get a decent group of people together, all not showering for a month plus, and beforehand getting a really good reek going ( milk showers, mayo in the pockets, eat a lot of gross cheese, i am sure you get the idea. ) And just be around them, don't get violent, heck don't even acknowledge them, just be disgusting.

Might not stop them from doing it, but it surely would put a rather large damper on their day. Kind of like a sit in, but more of a stink in.
