5. Matter of fact, much like inciting a riot is illegal... I have an idea brewing

My own past comes with an ugly encounter with Mr Godley Hatemonger himself, Fred Phelps. His local relatives, after holding a truly sick, reprehensible hate-fest directed uniquely at me, rallied up my entire small home-town's ire so much that I ran away from the bullying (much of it quite physical) at 16 years old. My pseudo-religious mother, redneck dad and equally ignorant school faculty did absolutely nothing to protect or curb my abuse/neglect combo. I also received genuine death threats from several of my classmates.
To this day I deal with multiple PTSD issues and limited resources stemming from a homeless start to my young adulthood. Brief synopsis of a long story, matter of fact a novel in the works.
But I feel it's past time the hatemongers were shut the hell up. And there's nothing like a class action lawsuit to do exactly that. I haven't ever looked into it, but have thought about starting up a website to collect potential plaintiffs in such. Most certainly first on my list of defendants would be that idiotic Phelps bunch.
