Westboro Neighbor Makes Bold Move


This is so cool.

Its happened to me. I posted a thread and someone else posts a thread and that thread gets more views ;-(

If possible, I try to link my thread to the popular thread and make it look like Im just helping out by showing something that might not be in the other thread.

But frankly, Im irked that the other OP didnt look through the page (and even 1/2 of page 2) when you think someone might post a thread about the same topic.

Life on a message board

The next thing that ill happen is that someone will question if that really is your photo

awesome! just hope he has video cameras on 24/7 cuz I wouldnt be surprised if they tried some of their sick shit or try to burn down the house by some "accident" . WBC is just too crazy. It takes some serious balls to live in their turf. But good for him!

[bankside]

Yes; excellent news….I still want those guys picketing my funeral.

[loveguys72]

I feel divided. It's really cool, but it gives the wignuts publicity. I do think it's pretty, though.

Ya, there's that.

And, too, it would be better if it wasn't such an ugly, run down, hodge-podged/eclecticuted old house.

The driveway is crumbing, and so is the chimney. And, those shabby aluminum storm windows - ick - do something.

And for crying out loud, at least get out a lawn rake before the next camera crew shows up.

[HunterM]

^ That's usually how a run down neighborhood gets transformed into a gay neighborhood. When more gays move in to clean it up, property value increases.

[GiancarloC]

LOL!

Genius move... simply genius. Why didn't I think of that?

So who wants to protest in front of Westboro Church now?

[ravenstar]

At least they don't have to go far anymore to picket homo's

Haha... actually, it's not a bad little house, and it looks like it was well cared for. Also, my house has those same windows, and although they look a little ratty when the aluminium is tarnished, they're pretty good. They keep out the drafts very well, you can open them wide and let in a lot of fresh air, and they're incredibly easy to dismantle for cleaning. Plus, if you ever replace them, you can take the frames to the salvage yard and CHA CHING!

One more thing I just have to add... Aaron is HOT! (of course, he looks a bit like a guy I kinda like )

It will become a tourist attraction. I've already seen pictures of couples posing in front of the house.

The locals hate the church anyway, and the city has sued Phelps before and lost because that scumbag has very good lawyers.

Actually, the family is several lawyers.

I understand that Fred himself has lost his license.

I understand that Fred himself has lost his license.

In 1977 he was disbarred, but it wasn't until 1989 that he finally surrendered his license. Freedom of speech is the family angle on the law.

[FPNY]

I think that guy has a good set of balls, he's taking those people on right in their own back yard. I agree that he should set up some kind of video surveillance tho, I think he could be in some danger..those people are ruthless..

[desertboi]

I think that this is really cool and a bold move. But I can't help but wonder if it's just asking for unnecessary trouble. The Westboro Baptist Church is full of crazies...

[GregKII]

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.. this man just threw a boulder! He's messing with the loony-bin, doesn't take much to get those freaks riled up. I think it wonderful how brave he is, but I mean...these people are out of their minds--he better watch his back.

[Telstra]

Brave move and the colours are like art school.

[Kahaih]

I thought the WB clan just made fools of themselves and get folks riled up with words.

Is there really some history of violence or criminal activity that I've never heard of?

[SC6201]

...and I hope they host LGBT "kiss ins" on the front lawn during WBC services!

Well it's possible the community may support him. The city doesn't want Westboro there, nor does the community.

I strongly recommend watching the Louis Theroux Documentary The Most Hated Family in America. If you want what is probably the most in depth look of the WBC, any outsider has gotten.
I felt some serious mixed emotions about this.At first,I wanted to beat the living hell out of every single one of those cult members.Then,I laughed it off and told myself that they are just crazy people and whatnot.Now..I just feel so sad for them. I feel sad because of how they are raised.Sad that they can't experience the world like we can. Sad that their own family traps them in a box,and they are to scared to leave.. All my ridicule and anger is gone and replaced with sorrow and disbelief..

I watched the video.
Yes a cult family. Their children are the victims.
The parents are beyond help.

One good thing about them, their family are not dysfunctional like some families.

[TheSpectatingLoner]

Fun fodder for the internet, but seems like such a waste of money. Especially since homophobia is only one of the millions of things wrong with that church.

[72-Jay]

LOL thats a cool one but the guy deff has guts to paint a house like that where its located

I also agree that he should set up some kind of video surveillance - ideally high def & with good 'night vision' ... and maybe an armed guard too.

[bike10]

To call the Westboro Baptist Church a church is an insult. It is cult of inbreeders. Now they get taste of own medicine.

[Adrock-JD]

[FPNY]

/\ whaddya mean?

[rareboy]

I love this guy.

Now. If only some more organizations buy up the houses around the WB compound and exercise their right to free speech.

[Adrock-JD]

/\ whaddya mean?

That's Joel McHale from The Soup television show, with his side kick, waiting for Westboro to do something stupid to the house.

[72-Jay]

Fully encircled by a strip of rainbow houses LOL that would be good!

[seven2go]

Hmmmmmmmm.......that took BALLS!.......

They won't attack.
Their kids are desperate for any outside social contact, even when it's just the media.
Louis Theroux did a second documentary on the family, and one of the daughters you could see had fallen for a student film maker from the Netherlands who had visited them. She was in tears over the idea of him burning in Hell, even though she knew she was supposed to rejoice in that fact. She along with Shirley's daughter Grace have since left the WBC.
Louis also talk with two of the kids who have been thrown out since he last saw them. One was really torn up over missing her parents, and her mom was too.
Those of us who have been disowned by our families can certainly empathize with what those two girls are feeling right now.

[Ninja108]

Good for him!

[Adrock-JD]

How long before this place ends up like Waco? Anybody remember that? I hope the FBI and CIA are keeping tabs on any weapons these Bible freaks have.

[CowboyBob]

How lovely! It should brighten up the neighborhood.
