Oh and P&N is that a way, one link down
Eh, these aren't religious people. These are people on the make - they use the publicity and possibly the rewards from civil suits from the inevitable injuries sustained to fund their organization.

For those who don't know, they're a group of bikers that park their pipeless wonders beside the WBC members and just idle them loudly until they leave.

If that fails, assemble ATOT Va Tech Crew, pull off the mufflers, and park your cars in front of them.

Edit - Now with contact info. Someone local call them and ask for assistance.

good to see them do that. These nut jobs do have the right to talk but that doesn't mean that someone else can not find a way to block them out. I am trying to find out what part of PA they are from. I'd call them.

Can't say I'm surprised. The school should be able to keep them off school grounds though. I don't see how they can get away with what they do without ever being charged with exciting a riot, fight, something.

Can't stand these people.

According to the Bible, the results of living in the way God wants are: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

When I read anything about the WBC, I don't get the feeling that they are living the way God wants them to live.

You do realize that your comment is nearly as offensive as what this church preaches?

No, of course you don't. :roll:

if there were no freedom of speech, and someone in the government didn't like what you were saying, you wouldn't be able to say it.

freedom of speech goes both way. you are exercising it right now by criticizing somebody else. in certain countries you can't criticize others. in ours, to a large extent, you still can. yes, you can criticize anyone, all the way up to the top (the president).

do you like freedom of speech?

if you don't like freedom of speech, why did you post this in the first place? why didn't you just shut up like all the other people in countries without freedom of speech. just keep it to yourself, cause you can't speak out in public.

you, sir, are the definition of a stupid american.

Actually, I do, and I realize that there's a price to be paid for it. It's a heavy price, but it's worth paying. "make me want to reconsider" does not mean "we should remove the right to free speech."

if there were no freedom of speech, and someone in the government didn't like what you were saying, you wouldn't be able to say it.
That's right.

Yes, I do.

Because I think these people are disgusting pieces of filth, and they should be exposed.

why didn't you just shut up like all the other people in countries without freedom of speech. just keep it to yourself, cause you can't speak out in public.

You are an idiot who doesn't understand English or type it well. I support freedom of speech to the utmost. But I still get mad when scum like this abuse it.

It would be a shame if a hitman were hired to take these people out. A damn shame...

I wonder, maybe $500 a head.

lol, their songs are funny, like stuff we made up in elementary school (though "this land is my land, it isn't your land, I have a shotgun and you don't have one, now just get off or I'll blow your head off, this land was made for just me" might get me thrown out of school now)

That's what sickens me the most when I see similar groups protesting at my university.
