So I was sitting there this morning reading the news when I had discovered that Westboro had once again been hell-bent to be as socially unacceptable as possible. They had charges held against them for emotional distress from a father of a soldier who had died and was having his funeral protested by Westboro. They were protesting the funerals of soldiers saying that it’s America's punishment by God for tolerating gays. The charges were dropped after the courts had ruled that they were protected by the first amendment.
Here’s what I have to say about the whole thing. First off is what I would like to say to Westboro:
Stop. Just stop, you seriously have nothing to gain from your hateful campaign against gays or anybody else. If anything you are not only hurting people but yourself because you are being ungrateful toward the sacrifices the soldiers in the war and their families have been making to keep you free and safe from the fear of attack. So next time you feel like you want to say something that’ll hurt someone, don’t protest funerals.
To the courts, why would you let these people win? And to the father, me and the American people (at least the ones with a conscience) will not forget your son or the other soldiers lost and continue to stand with you. You have our full-fledged support. That’s what I have to say, if you want to add something post a comment.
