Word on the street is that the Westboro Baptist church is coming to Tacoma to picket the Powell boys' funeral at Life Center. My wife told me about this and we are thinking of ways to shield the mourners from the nut jobs. It looks as if Occupy Seattle will show up to protect the funeral goers from the Phelps family. I think that if people can form a human wall around the Phelps family, it would be a way to honor the lives of the two boys lost in the tragedy.
I know that our communities have been mourning the loss of the boys. It should not of happened and there needs to be fundamental changes to prevent something like this from happening again. I am disgusted by the Westboro Baptist church and I cannot comprehend how in the world they can afford to fly all around the states to go protest. It doesn't seem sustainable financially. How to they have all this access to capital to be world travelers? Why were they at that AC/DC concert at the Tacoma Dome in 1996? All these questions make my mind short circuit like Johnny 5.
