Westboro Baptist Church planning to protest Robin Williams' funeral

Well these clowns are in the news again for planning to protest the funeral of actor Robin Williams all because he played a gay person in the film The Birdcage.

A message posted on the group's official Twitter page reads: "Westboro Baptist Church Hopes To Preach In Lawful Proximity To Robin Williams' Funeral - To Warn The Living: Repent Or Likewise Perish."
WBC you just hit a new high in low.

Well if the funeral is anywhere near where he lived the WBC will likely get more LBGT loving than they can handle. Where's a good sink hole when you need one.

Disgusting and revolting. But if they do it in accordance to the law, then that is their right.
There is freedom of speech and association even for people I despise.

Sounds like a good way to chase those fanatics off.
Send the Village People to perform YMCA right in the middle of them.

I like the sinkhole idea too

Out of all the funerals they announce they are going to protest, how many do they actually show up at?

Let them!

All they want is attention and the worst thing we all can do is to rage about how outraging this act is, or would be.
My first reaction was exactly this. Anger and pure hate.

All they want.
Do we want to give them what they want?
I sure don't.

So let's just remember one more moment where Robin made us laugh or tear up, instead of wasting our time and energy to rage over these lost, pitiful souls.

You know the drill gents:
Don't.
Feed.
The trolls.
