20 children, aged 6 to 7 years old, six adults, all dead after a mentally ill male, Adam Lanza opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As if the town of Newtown hasn't suffered enough, imagine them having to deal with people coming to praise those deaths.
The scum sucking bottom feeders at Westboro Baptist Church plan to march their sick butts into Connecticut to protest.
On Saturday, Dec. 15, Shirley Phelps-Roper
announced that the Westboro Baptist Church would picket Sandy Hook
Elementary School located in Newtown, Connecticut, with the following tweet:
Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment.

The responses to dear ole Shirley show clearly how offensive Twitter users find the group's plans.
Go add a little note to Shirley.

Members of the website Reddit announced their intent to form a silent blockade to counter protest the church.

In response, Anonymous released the personal contact information of members of the Westboro Baptist Church, including the home address, email address and phone number of numerous church members.
Preaching a hate filled gospel so obnoxious most Christians reject their teaching, the Westboro Baptist Church is an anti-gay Christian fundamentalist church notorious for its "God Hates Fags" signs and the picketing of soldiers’ funerals.
In addition to the release of personal information belonging to the church, Anonymous is also promoting a petition at whitehouse.gov asking the Obama administration to legally recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group. The petition notes that the church “has been recognized as a hate group by organizations, such as The Southern Poverty Law Center, and has repeatedly displayed the actions typical of hate groups.”
Wake up America has done quite a few pieces on Westboro members and disgusting antics and each and every time, I think the group can not sink any lower into the abyss of hell, and then they do something else and I realize they can.
This group should be declared a hate group and definitely should lose their tax exempt status. They hide under the guise of a so-called Church which makes their existence just that much more abhorrent.
I have an email in to Veterans against Westboro Baptist Church now to see if they plan to have a presence in Newtown to protect them from the scum that calls themselves a church. I'll update if they respond.
