Petition to define Westboro as official hate group.

[Cogman]

They are there to sue. The sooner people start ignoring them and stop putting up news articles about them, the sooner they will go away.

They do these protests at places of high emotion in hopes that someone will lash out at them so that they can sue. They are the scum of the earth, pay no attention to them and eventually they will rot away on their own.

They lose some assembly rights and can be treated as a hostile entity, within a certain capacity.

<facepalm>

Another illustration of our failed education system.

That petition is just one of those feel good things that is complete useless stupidity. As much as I hate those westboro scumbags, I'm not signing some idiotic and meaningless petition.

I'm not going to dignify WBC by giving them any official recognition.

One of thousands of Rightwing hate groups.

 

[Nintendesert]

Regretfully, they fall under the religion umbrella and free speech ammendment

YEAH! Free speech is only good if we agree with it!

What does it mean to be an "official hate group" ?

They can notarize their own documents, perhaps?

It means nothing. This petition is bullshit and the people who're signing it are idiots.

I look for them to push the wrong buttons and get massacred one day, masked rednecks with machine guns just mowing them down like grass, and the police showing up 10 minutes late, surprised and with no leads. *ahem*

I can't wait for that day.

What does it mean to be an "official hate group" ?

Apparently nothing.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I took the "hate group" label at face value. Without even thinking about it I accepted that there was an official hate group list, and that once on it your right to assembly and free speech were limited.

I've apparently become a liberal.

There's actually several of these petitions floating around at the moment. I think the end goal is more of stripping them of their 'religious' status, thus making them non tax exempt. Which I would find hilarious if they suddenly starting having to pay a lot to the government.

Hate group? I don't know. Dying-to-get-an-ass-kicking group? Definitely.

 

[zsdersw]

Wouldn't it be amusing if, during one of their protests, lightning struck and killed one or more of them?

What would the survivors of the "church" say about that?

 

[stormkroe]

They came to protest the funeral of a soldier I went to school with. The sheriff was very frustrated that he had to allow them a place along the procession to ply their b.s. Long story short, the only hotel that wasn't 'full' (with strangely empty parking lots) was 2 towns away. After finding a way to drive to their designated spot (their tires had developed hole in the night, they were probably pretty old) they found that a someone with farm access had piled it several feet high with manure. They didn't stick around and the funeral was a great tribute to the fallen.
That manure probably saved their lives and others a prison sentence.

Anonymous is working on it, no need to sign this shit.
