Westboro Baptist 'Protesters' Can't Find Spock's Funeral. Live Long And F**k Off, Douchebags

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/03/1368202/-Westboro-Baptist-Protesters-Can-t-Find-Spock-s-Funeral-Live-Long-And-F-k-Off-Douchebags

The Westboro Baptist Church, long-associated with their deranged and ugly protests at the funerals of US troops, have been thwarted in their attempt to 'protest' at the funeral of actor Leonard Nimoy, who died on Friday. According to The Guardian:

The church posted a Twitter update lamenting its inability to picket the event, which it said was due to a lack of publicity over the location.


Awww...that's a shame: the crazed, rancid bigots couldn't make it.

that these jackwagons made a concerted effort to picket and then failed miserably due to their own incompetence. Gawd is obviously not their travel agent.

this is at least the third funeral i can recall that they threatened but didnt deliver. they had no intention. it costs nothing to threaten.
to do it costs money, and risks getting their asses kicked.

i think they are tired of the tactic, and will continue to threaten, but people shouldnt give them the oxygen.
