In reply to the discussion: Whitney Houston's Funeral To Be Picketed By Westboro Baptist Church [View all]jmowreader
(53,190 posts)32. I figure they're gonna bury Fred in the back yard when the time comes
and admit he died a week AFTER the funeral.
The alternative is to announce the event, and a day later there'll be a protest on 12th Street in Topeka that makes the Million Man March look like two guys with a bullhorn.

Couldn't they be stoped because what they do could be considered inciting a riot?

Understand - these people are not a church at all. They are a business.

They picket just to picket. They have lost all manner of respect or meaning a long time ago.

their protest has less to do with Houston that it does with face time on the news.
