Awww: Westboro Church Van Has Tires Slashed
— DrewM

The people who did this really should get what they have coming to them*.

Shortly after finishing their protest at the funeral of Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey of McAlester, a half-dozen protesters from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., headed to their minivan, only to discover that its front and rear passenger-side tires had been slashed.
To make matters worse, as their minivan slowly hobbled away on two flat tires, with a McAlester police car following behind, the protesters were unable to find anyone in town who would repair their vehicle, according to policeÂ…

I love that no one would fix their tires. Fine Americans in that town.

You can catch a glimpse of them slinking away at about 1:09 of this video (there may be some NSFW language in the video. These freaks bring that out in people).

There was some talk that maybe the church's case before the Supreme Court would be handed down today but not yet.

*Many free drinks at their favorite establishment.

7 There was a remarkable display of solidarity for Lance Cpl Honeycutt, who was laid to rest in Arlington today. Charles Lollar, who unsuccessfully challenged Steny Hoyer in Southern Maryland, helped the organizers rally a couple of thousand (by most accounts) people to black the Westboro assholes from getting close to the Maryland church where Honeycutt was being eulogized.

There are a lot of amazing pictures at Lollar's Facebook page.

Here's one brief account.

10 Unfortunately, Walmart did.

11 The poor dears would have fixed the tire themselves but it would have meant blowing a tube, and the Phelps men thought that was a little too, er Brokeback Mountain for comfort.

There's a place for street justice in a healthy, functioning society.

Fine, pass your laws. There's law and there's what right. And if the police choose to look the other way while someone fucks your church van up? Oh, well. The world's a better place and fuck process.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

15 Walmart was a ways out of town. They had to rent a flatbed to get there.

How does the Phelps family afford to do this?

They're lawyers.

20 And Obama wants to change this country? What a fool. It's already the greatest country in the world. It just needs a little fine-tuning, like a balanced budget and a return to the clear meaning of the constitution. But getting rid of Obama will go a long way toward that goal.

24 I'm kind of surprised no local cops haven't done a thorough check-over on the Westboro van with ticket book handy: "Sorry, Reverend, looks like I have to write you up. You've got a broken tail light, your headlights are misaligned, and that rearview mirror looks wobbly. We have to follow the laws, after all."

That's the thing I love about this blog, I get timely smart military insight, and I don't have to open a new browser to shop.

26 Speaking of the TSA, there is a "TSAslogan" hash on twitter that is pretty funny.
Lean forward

27 Welcome to Oklahoma. I hope you enjoy driving away with two flat tires.

28 God willed your tires to be slashed Fred...suck on that for a while.

Posted by: unknown jane at November 15, 2010 03:43 PM (5/yRG)

29 Is that it? Why weren't their windows smashed in and all four tires slashed? None of them had to visit the ER on the way out? It does sound like a good start though. Nothing like a little vandalism to remind these douche bags that I hate them with every fiber of my body. I wouldn't piss on one of these people to put them out if they were on fire......unless it's possible to piss gasoline.

Noticed it was a Honda. Typical. Glad they wouldn't fix it. I'm all for free speech but that cock gobbler needs to get the shit beat out of him and all his idiot minions.

Posted by: Bruce The Robert at November 15, 2010 04:13 PM (1jHuT)

Heh, they weren't smart enough to call AAA to pull them up on a flatbed right away, they were stupid enough to drive around on flat tires which surely ruined the rims.

Pobably another thousand there.

37 Sorry, those guys may be assholes of the first magnitude but vandalism is vandalism. It sets a bad precedent and possible escalation to violence.

Posted by: Aaron at November 15, 2010 10:11 PM (XUIJ5)

I just don't understand the thinking behind the tire-slashing.

Why would anybody want to make it possible for those creeps to remain in their town one second longer than necessary?!

With any luck.

That casino shoe fuels that muscle groups within your toes in addition to lower thighs to create durability in addition to strengthen in addition to increase activity.
