WHY?
WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH TO PICKET THE ROYAL WEDDING OF PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE MIDDLETON Friday, April 29, 2011, from 7:00-8:15 a.m. Westminster Abbey, 20 Dean's Yard, London, UK
The reason for them to picket the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton escapes me. Oh, that's right...they haven't been getting enough attention lately! So what better way to get this than to gain an international audience by acting like " Ugly Americans". Maybe the free speech WBC enjoys here in the United States won't extend to England...or maybe they'll be totally ignored by an international audience, and the camera won't be pointed their way, in which case they have" Plan B"...to incite the wrath of the public here at home while picketing the launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor at the Kennedy Space Center because Rep. Gabby Giffords husband will be among the crew...
WBC TO PICKET REP. GABRIELLE GIFFORDS SEEING HER HUSBAND OFF AT THE LAUNCH OF SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR COMPLEX (STATE ROAD 405, KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL) ON FRIDAY, APRIL 29, FROM 10AM - 4PM---
As always, we here at Wall of Peace are encouraging those who will be going out to stand between WBC and chosen their target to be respectful and calm.

Re: the wedding picket, in particular...ridiculous. However, I believe that Phelps and at least one of his 'associates' were banned from Britain 2 years ago when they tried to pull one of their stunts. I would not be at all surprised if they were detained and disallowed entry into the country.
ReplyDeleteOn another note...have you heard about Brandon, Mississippi? ;-) Most successful protest-prevention ever.
Let there be peace on earth! The tongue is sharper than a double-edged sword so use it wisely.
