In their first protest since their leader Fred Phelps died earlier this week, Westboro members were met with peaceful signs from counter protesters.
The Westboro Baptist gang members were protesting at a Lorde concert. With them they brought the usual “God hates everybody” signs. But they were met by another group of protesters clearly offering condolences to the passing of Mr. Fred Phelps. The counter protesters carried signs that read, “Sorry for your loss.”
“We realized that it wasn’t so much about antagonizing them but sending out the countered safe that we are here for people who need that message and need that positivity” Megan Coleman, who helped make the sign, said according to Kansas’ KSHB.
But apparently, the good deed was lost to the Westboro members. “I don’t even know what they’re saying,” Westboro Baptist Chuch member Steve Drain said.
Im not surprised that the Westboro members couldn’t see the good deed. Hate is all they know, so the good deeds of others are confusing.
