Showing Original Post only (View all)Westboro Baptists protest Moore, OK. Residents rout them and run them off. [View all]
The ragged remnants of the Westboro Baptist Church staged a protest at Central Junior High School in Moore, OK, to underscore their belief that the massive tornado that devastated the town last year was "God's wrath" against "phony 'Christians.'"
Pretty much the whole town showed up to counter-protest...and then started crossing the street towards the Westboro protesters in an ever-growing wave...and the Westboro people scattered like geese and ran.
Oh yeah, this.

You don't have to be sorry. However, you do have to show that what they were doing is illegal.

I get what you're getting at ... however, there's some 'protests' that are so blatantly fucked up

A nationalist mob threatening to attack peaceful protesters is not a good thing...

That is a pretty quaint defense of a nationalist mob running people out of town
