I find it disgusting that these old rednecks wish to picket the memorials of those that have died in the helicopter crash in Glasgow. For such a tragic incident, I find it repulsive that they wish to protest and claim that the reason this terrible accident happened was because gay marriage was legalised in scotland! Ridiculous! Should they decide to show their ugly faces I believe anonymous should take action. Anyone else agreed?
Unfortunately I am not tech savvy enough to link you to individual posts however, their twitter page is filled with vile claims. I shall attempt to find other links
What people have done in the past is to show up with white fabric suspended on pvc poles to block sight of the WBC from the mourners. There are never more than a few of them. You can use bedsheets.
And if they do show they'll be shunted out of the way so fast they won't realise it, no one in Glasgow will tolerate that shit at this time.
Hm, well I agree, no one in Glasgow will tolerate it. I don't believe everything I read or hear however, it seems they have put a lot of effort into this belief of theirs that "gays caused the crash" and I find it sick that anyone would picket a memorial service
I shall happily, however had you properly viewed their twitter, you would see it is bombarded with homophobic tweets and statements about picketing the memorial services of those who died because of the crash
Then you should fight back by not giving a fuck. See, the WBC thrives on attention. When people rage at them, they eat that up. It proves they're a big deal instead of the trailer trash they actually are. If you really want to make the WBC miserable, totally ignore them. Sure, put up some barriers if they are allowed to protest where some outdoor ceremony is taking place. But don't make a big deal out of them.
Lurk moar is a commonly used expression here, it suggests you read more before posting. Scrolling down to the bottom of the page is also helpful for you as there are even more links of interest.
My own take is that the WBC is a well-known entity. Everyone hates them: Lefties, Righties, Atheists, Fundie Christians, lapsed Catholics, Hasidic Jews, Black Muslims...I think even Klansmen watch these bozos and think "you know, that's just not right....". There's no need to warn the public about them, because the public is pretty well educated at this point. Whereas the true nature of Scientology, a far more insidious and dangerous organization, isn't all that obvious. WBC will die with Fred Phelps. Scientology, on the other hand, did not die with L. Ron Hubbard, so it is an entity worth protesting.
The helicopter that crashed into the bar was being used by Police Scotland, and in now way will they tolerate any protests anywhere near the scene or at church services either. They will be watchful of anyone who looks in the least suspicious and will deal with them accordingly. Give them credit ffs they are not idiots.
Did you know the WBC anonymously posts manifestos against itself for publicity? This is why you are getting shat upon here.
And even if they did, they would soon discover that there's a few laws again public disruption whose lack of US counterparts the WBC are exploiting as their modus operandi. They have threatened to cross the pond before, but have never had the guts to actually show up.
This is one occasion if they do cross the pond they will not be tolerated , the Police will not allow their own to be the subject of any disruption on this occasion.
