nothing like showing up at someone's funeral to spread your message of hate..

I'm trying to read the back of their t-shirts, it looks like "God hates .Net".

I'm sure that's probably true. If Jesus were alive today, he would be in the Linux/ open source camp.

On further review, I was actually mixing up two different t-shirts. Here is their site:

The mellow midi music is creepily at odds with the images.

Found this.. I wish it was on YT.

And now... for the rest of the story... http://www.current.tv/studio/media/5811576

Seriously, watch this video. It has the background video, and the video of them running into the van. It was a police van that window got smashed. They should have been scared.

Meh, so idiots are fighting idiots. The "rioters" didn't really prove anything by getting violent and if anything they only made these people more adamant about their mission. Protesting the protesters is a good idea but when stuff like this happens it ruins it.

Also, the wave to the people after the window broke told me that these people were more about the attention then anything else. The only point of waving would be to piss the crowd off.

"Scoffers."

I think it is in the First Amendment commentary. If you beg long enough for a riot, then eventually you will get it.

Or in terms maybe the WBC would understand - Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. Isaiah 3:11.

Is it clear to everyone that there are like 50 people in the WBC - mostly related to each other? It's not a movement, it's a tiny, dedicated cult. Beating them up is pointless.

"Is it clear to everyone that there are like 50 people in the WBC - mostly related to each other? It's not a movement, it's a tiny, dedicated cult."

One could argue that that is how extremists movements start. One small group of angry, uneducated people that slowly build in numbers by convincing other angry and uneducated peoplernto join. Beating them up is pretty pointless but it does send a message that the general populace is not going to tolerate their hate filled rhetoric, but that usually results in civil lawsuits from the ACLU who say their first amendment rights were violated and the necessity of a police presence where ever they go.

A better solution to the 50 or so people of this protesting church is 500rnpeople who will stand in front of them to block them and drown them out. Violence here is not the answer, but as soon as the WBC decides to start expediting other peoples passing to whatever afterlife they believe in, then all bets are off.

I can't imagine having a kid come back dead... then having to deal with these showboating nutjobs.

"On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both.

I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.'"
