Title: Fred Phelps dead

Hope that the Westboro Baptist Church crumbles at some point after this.
The man spread so much hate in his time, only fair he gets some back. He won't be missed by me, that's for sure.

Isn't the church super small?

Their following certainly isn't as big as their voice.

For me, his passing is met with indifference.

I would make a Castlevania joke, but it would be in bad taste and insensitive

This is a deep and interesting story. A perfect example of somebody that had a controversial point of view to start with. He did everything he could to discredit himself through actions that only a lunatic would have the balls to execute.

I don't care what your protesting. When you completely disrespect funerals to try and make your point, it's all over.

The church is basically their family with a other people. He had 13 children and somewhere in the neighborhood of 40+ grandchildren that were involved.

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC did a segment on the church last week, not an obituary mind you and she doesn't even mention his name.

She basically discussed how that group indirectly caused a lot of people to rally together and bring out the best in people in attempts to mock and block the Westboro protestors so that the families and mourners attending the relevant funerals wouldn't have to be subjected to their signs and chants.

Really though, there's quite a few lawyers in that family and they are basically grifters. They protest in the most hateful and abhorrent ways possible and then when you try to sue them, they counter sue you citing first amendment protection.

When dealing with people like that then call on Al-Qaeda to do the job, to take them and himself out all at once. The only real use for a terrorist  ;D
