Maybe they need to start slashing throats instead of tyres. If they got caught, I doubt you could find a jury in the U.S. that would actually find them guilty of anything lol.

I would like to urge everyone not to do any harm to any member of the WBC. That would be giving them exactly what they want. A martyr. The would milk that for absolutely everything. The only thing that you can do to hurt the WBC is ignore them. Pretend they do not exist. The Westboro Baptist what? I think Fred deserves to be beaten to a bloody fucking pulp and if that happened I would say that he had it coming. But he would love it. Plenty of attention for Fred and the perpetrator would have to be arrested just the same as if he did it to a human being.

Please, who would seriously attempt to harm them? Those scumbags aren't worth going to jail for; even the ragiest of ragers could see THAT much.
As far as the OT is concerned: QQ

Say, in which of the 50 states can we still get good ol' "Trial by Single Combat" (ok maybe that's not the legal definition) aka dueling?

I just want someone or something to off them so we don't have to hear about them anymore.

The WBC is only hoping to incite people into attacking them so they can sue and get more money.

Would they really be martyrs if it was a pissed off christian that did the job? (IE they go to far at a military funeral or something?)

Yes, because those Christians are the wrong kind of Christians for them. According to them, all other Christians are operating under the delusion that they are going to Heaven if they try hard enough, when really the only ones who are going are predestined to do so (i.e. everyone in the WBC). And if a member of the WBC were to kill them, well, clearly he isn't one of God's chosen (as his actions prove), so they're still martyrs. Basically, it's No True Scotsman Up To Eleven.

Protesting....kids funerals. Seriously? Kids funerals because someone slashed your tires? They're a sick sick group of people.
Ironbite-I want to slash their tires just to fuck with 'em now. See how low they'll go.

WBC is a bunch of IRL trolls who should be ignored to death. If no one pays attention to them, they have no reason to exist.

There is only one good way to deal with trolls like the WBC.
They crave attention, so starve them. Make their little movement die out from a lack of it.

I know there's not really much else to be done, but...when has "ignore it & they'll go away" ever worked? Seriously. That Nostradamus weirdo keeps coming back to spam the board & Fred Phelps is going to keep protesting shit until he either dies or regains his sanity. Probably the former.

Two things. 1. I'm sure it's been discussed before, but could WBC possibly be the most-effective, most-dedicated group of Poes in the entire world? This has indeed been discussed before, but unfortunately we just can't know for sure. By the nature of things, that kind of deep-cover Poe-ing strongly resembles a conspiracy insofar as any and every behavior could be explained away as being part of the deception, from the dead-eyed zombie look of the WBC members on TV to the disaffected angry ex-members who swear to the massive insanity of the cult.

The WBC is only hoping to incite people into attacking them so they can sue and get more money. Exactly. Never for a minute have I believed that Fred Phelps et al actually believe in what they're preaching. Offending people enough to beget violence on their church so they can sue for money has always been WBC's primary cause. I actually think the reason they go around picketing military funeral shouting 'God hates America' is to prevent the right from warming up to them for their anti-gay antics.

Just goes to show there is no low they're not willing to stoop to.
But yet again I think we all knew that.
