Warning: Offensive content, hatred
The empty souls of the Westboro Baptist Church are going to picket the funerals of the nine people murdered in a terrorist act by someone whose beliefs have some crossover with the empty shells of hate at Westboro.
They are picketing because they say God sent the shooter to kill Pastor and state Senator because he supported Secretary Hillary Clinton. They say the shootings are a lesson to stay away from Hillary Clinton fundraisers.
They tweeted:
Lessons from #CharlestonShooting:
•Stay away from @HillaryClinton fundraisers
•Stop conducting lying Bible studies
“We aim to picket Charleston funerals to warn the living. Dylann Roof did an evil thing but so did Clementa Pinckney!”

And if you haven’t vomited yet:
So in case anyone was wondering, there is no low for the Westboro Baptist Church. They revel in death, destruction, and despair. They take pleasure in it. They rob victims’ families of even a funeral without hate.
The bad news for them is that the survivors have already shown nothing but forgiveness, denying hate even after being terrorized and watching their friends and family be slaughtered. Grace and unity surround the grieving in Charleston. It may not seem like it now, but Westboro and the hate that drove the shooter will not achieve their goals of turning others into the subhumans that they are.
Humanity will prevail because we will all stand up and make it so.

As deplorable as WBC is, I completely disagree with the statement: “There are times that the “freedom of speech” should be stopped!” Even stupid people have the right to spout off their opinions. What SHOULD be stopped s the constant public &media-enforced confusion of “action” with “speech”. If a fake religious, hate group that worships a god of evil wants to talk about their idiocies, that shouldn’t ever be banned. If, as the WBC does, that group takes physical action, including traveling to other locales to harass innocent people, then yes that activity would-be stopped and the offending party should be forced to pay for all the taxpayer-funded services it takes to stop them- the cost of police and courts to begin with. And if the WBC or any other group is bankrupted by the costs they incur, oh well… there’s nothing in the Constitution that guarantees “freedom of action”…

WBC …. shouldn’t even exist. There are times that the “freedom of speech” should be stopped! This is one of them!
