KKK Counterprotests Westboro Church Picketing School Shooting Scene [View all]

The anti-gay group, Westboro Baptist Church, has promised to picket at the scene of the Newton, Connecticut elementary school shooting.

WBC member Shirley Phelps-Roper tweeted: “Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment.”

Westboro’s URL is GodHatesFags.com and the members can usually be found picketing fallen LGBT soldiers and celebrity funerals. In a word, they are crazy—so crazy in fact that the Ku Klux Klan plans counter-protest them. When the KKK steps in as the voice of reason, you know you are dealing with the bottom-of-the-barrel crazy.
