So, WBC is going to be in Fort Mill tomorrow.

They're going to be picketing at a firefighter/Marine's funeral in Fort Mill. I'm not exactly sure how far away this is relevant to Charlotte, but I THINK it's like 30-40 minutes from the NoDa area. I'm probably wrong though. I just found out about this when my friend (Who leaves for basic in September) called and woke me up to see if I wanted to help him put something together. Anyone interested in doing a peaceful counter-protest? No ideas for anything yet, just trying to spark some interest.

I support your Fred Phelps punching idea from earlier. Either do that or leave them alone because the more publicity they get the more ignorant assholes become aware and donate money to their stupid cause.

[DustinCarpenter]

That seemed like a really good idea at first, but if I did punch him in the face, that would do about as much as leaving them alone would. They'ed still be the biggest group of radical trolls in American History. Plus, I feel like after I did it, everyone would just laugh it off and let me rot in jail. Hahah. I'd probably do the same thing!

Maybe if you would've known earlier you could've set up a paypal account to have people donate for your bail fund.

Yeah, I'm totally one of those bleeding heart First Amendment-defending assholes that says they have the right to do what they do.


However, I remember reading about them going to Oklahoma or something, and when they tried to leave, they found that all their tires had been slashed, and their gas tanks were emptied. When they tried to go to a service station to get help, they were refused service.

We need to do something like that.

A similar thing that happened in Oklahoma happened in Nashville too.

anything happen here?
