    Bad idea, it just keeps them there longer. The proper course of action would been to attach a JATO pack to the van.

    so is being a phelps cult member... in my opinion.

    I agree, slashing tires is counter productive, and illegal, but at the same time, what the WBC do is hurassment and abuse, which is a infringement upon the rights of others.

    WBC wants this sort of thing to happen. They get off on being attacked. The best way to counter them is to ignore them. All they really want is attention.

    And as we all know, it being a crime automatically makes it wrong.

    See this ^ Not only is it giving them attention that they shouldn't be getting, but it's making their enemies to be criminals, thus them victims.

    Anyone who picks sides based solely on who is a criminal is someone who I dont think is worth having on my side.

    Also, if you really want to encourage more people to look at their own religion in a critical and skeptical way then you should give more publicity to religious nutballs like Westboro.

    I would have blown the van up while they were protesting, and after they were disoriented by the blast just place them in a safe house that way they wouldn't know where they were at.

    Yeah, it was a crime to slash the tires, and it might help them say that they're the victims in the whole thing... but they're not going to fool anyone.

    Would I have done it? I don't think so. Am I sorry that it happened to them? Hardly.

    The people who advocate violence or crime against WBC don't get it.

    The only reason these people get any attention whatsoever is the counter protests. It's a half-dozen looneys that show up to the protests, led by a crazy, narcissistic leader (who almost all of them are related to.)

    If people just ignored them, they wouldn't have any clout, get any publicity, or be in the public eye at all. But people are constitutionally incapable of just letting them be, so they get exactly what they want... and, in turn, they keep getting more attention.

    Sheesh. When will people get it?

    This.

    Btw, everyone that's saying "let's just leave them alone, they feed off of attention, blah, blah blah," I can't help but to wonder, would they themselves be saying that if the WBC were to protest at the funeral of one of your family members or friends, holding signs that depict gratitude and satisfaction that your loved one is dead?

    To ignore such acts like that is nearly impossible for anyone. :dry:

    I don't advocate violence in any form. But it is hard to feel pity when hateful things happen to hateful people. Karma is a bitch.

    But personally, I think plastering their van with rainbow bumper magnets would have been much funnier.

    These cats were down in New Orleans last time I went down there. We just raised our hand grenades as we passed them, laughing, and just walked on by. :wink:

    They should have painted "GAY PRIDE" oh the van in many different places. That would be a very funny thing to do as well, and they wouldn't be able to remove it.

    Depending on the paint you used anyways.
