Peaceful Counter Protesters Confuses Westboro Protesters

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.

Westboro Baptist Church Founder Fred Phelps is Dead

The founder of the Westboro Baptist Church who brought himself and his congregation notoriety by protesting at the funerals of military troops, the man responsible for having a group of misguided people celebrate every time there is a mass murder (they celebrated when 20 kids were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School for crying out loud!), or celebrate when people die from a natural disaster, that man – Fred Phelps – has died. He was 84 years old.

A very hateful man is gone. I don’t think he will be resting in peace.

There is nothing else to report.

Westboro Baptist Church Founder is “On The Edge Of Death”

Fred Phelps

The founder of the Wesboro Baptist Church, Fred ‘God Hates Fags’ Phelps is reported to be “on the edge of death.”

The news comes via Nate Phelps, one of Fred’s estranged children, who wrote this in a Facebook post Saturday night:

I’ve learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the “God Hates Fags” Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the “church” back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made.

I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes.
