Westboro Baptist Church protests Sandy Hook Elementary School?

[Erraticson167]

I don't see what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School as the judgment of God. However God took those kids to be with Himself. Ultimately they're His kids. He created them and He took them away.

Job lost everything including his kids and he said, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."

I doubt they would go so far as to picket Sandy Hook Elementary School. If they do, I will have to reevaluate my opinion of them. Anyway they are entitled to their opinion. Why are they being singled out? The left right now is saying that NRA members should be murdered. Why isn't that in the news?

Yea these Westboro bastards are always protesting and picketing funerals of our dead soldiers, gays etc. They hide behind our free speech.These people are full of hate. I think what they do, falls under ''hate speech''. I can't stand these hateful fools.

Other than the UK daily mail and a few scandal rags I can find no confirmation of westboro baptist church's interest in picketing but it would not surprise me if they did choose to picket. The westboro baptists are outspoken not only against homosexuality and claiming that the death of US soldiers is an act of god but they also vocally and actively oppose the teaching of evolution, climate science and sex education. If they show up to praise their belief that their god kills children to teach us a lesson then people in the US will most likely accelerate the turn away from organized religion. If the leaders of the wbc understand cause and effect relationships they will avoid protesting this one (but don't be surprised if they show up anyway). In answer to the issue of the legality of publicly protesting; the westboro baptist church is very organized and go to great lengths to protest within the limits of the law under the first amendment. They are still a despicable people with a despicable faith. They subtly incite violence from those most likely to commit an act of violence - the mentally unstable directed by extremist faith. All the while they claim they are opposed to racism and violence even though they praise their god for making others to kill in his name. They do have the legal right to protest and to say what they say but it is not presently known if they will protest this event.
