This is unbelievable

I'm sure you're aware of the gruesome and random murder/beheading that happened last week on a bus in Manitoba.

Well, it turns out the Westboro Baptist church (the 'God Hates Fags' folks) will be picketing the victim's funeral.


Here is their announcement.

They've done this kind of thing many times before. I almost tried to explain their warped logic, but do you know what? It can't be explained. These people are hateful lunatics. This should come as no surprise to anyone who's aware of them, but this particular instance really struck me and sickened me.

Good people of Winnipeg, go slash their tires. No, nothing so adolescent. Form a human wall between them and the funeral so they can't be seen. If they raise their voices, sing songs to drown them out. Free speech and the right to protest are important, but this goes beyond that and into the realm of cruel and bizarre harrassment aimed toward people who have just suffered a terrible and senseless loss.
