kcjen24 0 #4 March 20, 2013 Saw an interview this morning... there has now been a release this morning from WBC about all of this (can't find it yet). The guy that bought the house said that what that release said wasn't fit to talk about because it was so vulgar. Not sure if this is a good thing or not... by painting the house, WBC is back in the national news. Just what they're looking for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point - just like political "pundits" who say outrageous shit to get their name back in the news whenever their "brand" is getting stale; for them, there is no bad publicity. As an aside, I'm still rather amazed that nobody, so far, has used violence to act-out any anger toward WBC yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, just for fun, someone could walk up to old Fred, drop him with a punch, and probably raise enough money in online donations in 24hrs to cover the legal fees."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Alvin 0 #9 March 20, 2013 QuoteAnother sock puppet? Concerned about HOA rules? That's funny right there. There are lots of anonymous users here. The point is, if the paint scheme is a violation of HOA guidelines, then Westboro could use that to make them un-do the paint job, thereby gaining a win in the situation.

One of Fred Phelps' family members is a lawyer, IIRC, and they have used the law to their advantage to spread their hate messages and sue when that right is infringed on (in their eyes). You better be indigent and homeless if you decide to punch Fred's lights out. "touch me and I'll sue!" (PUNCH!) "sue me for what?"

Yes, John; we've lost count of how many times you've said this through your various sock puppets. Seriously? It's really worth it to you to take the time and effort to keep doing this? Sad, really.

That's assuming a purely hypothetical assailant would choose to engage in hand to hand combat. But the same Constitution that protects the WBC also hypothetically enables hypothetical people to use other hypothetical methods. Hypothetically.
