And of course Westboro Baptist "Church" chimed in right on cue about Orlando [View all]

Those sick fucks at Westboro had to spew their written diarrhea all over the place;

The largest mass shooting in the history of the United States took place overnight, and it is now known that gunman Omar Mateen is responsible for at least 50 deaths and some 53 others wounded at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. As the world sympathizes with the victims and mourns this tragic situation while trying to fully understand it, there is one group that isn’t as upset about it. The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken to social media to celebrate the shooting and say that “God sent the shooter.”

According to the Gaily Grind, the Westboro Baptist Church has now spoken out about this tragedy, and the very well-known anti-LGBT group thinks this was a message from God. The WBC believes that the mass shooting is “only right for Sodom America!”

Plans have not yet been revealed by the Westboro Baptist Church to know if any members will head to Orlando soon. In most big events similar to this tragedy and big-time happenings, the WBC does head to funerals or the sites of those that have died so they can picket and make their messages known.
