Thank you bikers, veterans and police for a peaceful counter protest. God bless our fallen soldiers and their families.
Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, visited Reno in January to demonstrate at the funeral of a Nevada soldier killed in Iraq. They cut their protest short after being surrounded by counter-demonstrators who were also exercising their first amendment rights. The "Baptist" Satanists were upset that they were not allowed to be front and center at the funeral. Reno police chief Michael Poehlman (probably Reno's finest Chief of Police, he always seems willing to listen) made sure their constitutional rights were protected. Christians were there, but they were not the people from Topeka. Christians are not this heartless, cruel and evil. These Satanists in Christian clothing from the Westboro Baptist Church are planning to show up at the Brianna Denison memorial this coming Saturday. Here is a copy of the Westboro haters news release. This is their protest schedule. Here are some movie clips from the film The Hatemongers, The True Story of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. Phelps was a big Al Gore supporter in 1988 when Al Gore was a conservative (remember Tippers crusade for warning labels on music). Pastor Phelps went to bible school with Billy Graham. Phelps also knew and was friendly with John Kennedy, Jr. Many of the things he says makes sense. But his mostly family group took a sad turn with these hate protests. These protests do not have the look or feel of God to them, so then they must be from ?.
