Is something going on? A lot of my friends on facebook have said they were proud of the kids there or were in prayer for the kids there? I looked on the news websites and didn't see anything pertaining to that....anyone have a clue?

All I know is my son was home sick with the flu so we just drove by to honk. We sat on Mission Rd. trying to turn left for a good 20 minutes. The cops did NOT have traffic under control.

There were people everywhere. My son got calls from kids he knows who were headed there from Bonner Springs HS, Rockhurst, Sion, St. Theresa, etc.

These people don't deserve the time of day. If people start ignoring them, they'll go away eventually.

I used to think the same way. But the Phelps church isn't growing. It's dying. I'm proud to know that kids have the moxy to organize a peaceful demonstration and show support for their classmate.

Completely agree. The more the spotlight is on this cockroach the less he will be able to dupe others.

I tend to agree with this as well. I thought the kids were doing a good thing protecting their turf. I think the 'cburch' are an acting troupe who get a thrill out of people by being outlandish. I saw one of them take an American flag out of a bag and blow her nose on it.

They obviously are acting out to get publicity and it works. Where I think it's wrong is that the MEDIA focuses so much attention on them. Let people put together grass roots counter protests like this one but keep the media coverage of them at a minimum.

Exactly. Giving attention whores attention is stupid. If 20 idiots stand in an empty field and yell "God hates queers" at the top of their lungs and nobody heard them, would they still make a sound?

Don't give an idiot an audience. When you protest and argue with them, you get demonstrations from Fred Phelps and 6,000 posts from DarthCarlSatan in 6 months.

Hey, now, DCS has a lot to say. I keep hoping he'll see a shiny object and get distracted and go away.

[Extra Point]

Interesting. Sounds like Phelps is attempting extortion. That's a hate-crime-wire-fraud slamma-jamma!

Time for the KBI to put an end to his crap.

Be careful or he'll photoshop "Honky Lips" down the side of your avatar.

Your son must have been incredibly embarrassed. Mommy driving him around while he's out with the flu?
What I'm about to certainly isn't earth shattering or unique:

You are weird.

I find the Phelps phamily to be more interesting.

Uh, I had to pick up my other son from school down the street from the high school. It was on our way. He wanted to go with me to see it since he'd planned on participating and had helped with some of the promoting and because he's friends with the person in question.

And he thinks I'm an awesome Mom.
