The Avenger Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Looks like Fred Phelps and his band of merry morons is planning on picketing the public memorial for Ronnie James Dio in L.A. on Sunday. Something tells me it's a really, really, really bad idea for a small group of fundamentalist closet homosexuals screaming about Dio rotting in hell to get near a bunch of upset metal fans mourning the passing of their hero... Pehaps they'll finally get the beatdown they so richly deserve? Bad Idea - Really Bad Idea..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Oh...dear... Those crazy nutjob religious freaks are about to get an old-school metal ass whuppin. This will NOT be pretty, the cops better be out in force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that tax money and police time has to be wasted on their right to free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea as well, but if you're a WBC member who likes their teeth/life and thinks they're going to prance around with their signs and keep said teeth/signs/life it's truly a terrible idea..... There haven't been any riots at past funerals because most people can retrain themselves from giving these idiots what they want, but a bunch of despondent metalheads who don't give a flying %#@! and like a good brawl could certainly change all of that......

These miscreants aren't really a church, they go to every "picket" hoping to be assaulted so they can sue, its a con under a facade of religion.

Live&DieBillsFootball Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Maybe this is the cults suicide pact. Dr Kevorkian couldn't have dreamed up a better assisted suicide plan than this. Would be great if the police forgot to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 but that is exactly what they want. to be "victimized", to have their rights trampled on. bastards. Yeah, but if you get a beatdown by mob of people let's look at who gets what: WBC Member: -Publicity (already getting it by just threatening to picket) -The beatdown of a lifetime (as Visa says, "priceless") Metalheads: -Arrest (if caught) -Possible jail time (if convicted by jury) -Satisfaction of kicking the living sh%t out of a WBC protester WBC could also try and go after civil damages, but honestly, the type of metalhead who's going to kick your ass like that probably has relatively little assests.... I'm thinking that in this case the violence could happen......would love to see video of it with Sabbath's "Mob Rules" playing as the soundtrack.....

I'd rather see another creative counter-protest along the lines of the "God hates flags", "I have a sign". Don't give 'em the attention they want, just mock them and marginalize them.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Someone you have met presumably. Belief and rationality are NOT mutually exclusive. I'd think Isaac Newton would agree with that, as would CS Lewis, or any number of other believers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
