Ignore it, leave the family alone. Don't give them the chance to play the victim.
 
I would hope people rise above the same wicked things he did in life and not protest the funeral, but we'll see.

I do think he'll be in for a rude awakening though when he stands before God in judgement once he does die.
 
You know protesting his funeral has a certain ring to it, but my better angels tell me just ignoring the guy and his family altogether is the better way to go.

Yep. I totally get the desire for the emotional satisfaction, but I'd rather think of their disappointment if no one showed up.
 
I am going to forget it and never think about him again. Course his "church" is still around.

This. It's an excellent opportunity to go the high road. Sure, my motive may be somewhat passive aggressive, but **** it.
 
Isn't it always best to "be the change"? IOW, wish him well and his family peace. It would be a little hypocritical to protest and attack him at a time like this.
 
Tell me it wouldn't be funny to have a bunch of people show up holding signs that show Satan banging Phelps up the ass or Phelps in the center of a big circle jerk with like 20 cocks in his mouth.

Eww, Phelps porn. :vomit:

Wayyyy too predictable.
 
Chips and dip seem appropriate. Nothing too fancy.
 
How about Phelps with a vagina and DDD titties?

I think a protest of any kind is predictable. The Phelps and his church are real life trolls so the best way to emasculate them would be to ignore them. Of course, this is real life we're talking about here and not my little internal fantasies, so naturally someone is going to feed them by protesting.

No clue what DDD is.
 
I just thought of a better way to "protest". Get some permits and hold a bunch of gay marriages just outside of the place the funeral is being held.

I think let the funeral go in peace and just desecrate his corpse afterwards. Or sneak in when they're preparing his corpse and dress it up in gay S&M paraphernalia.

I was thinking that a poster reading: "Proof. God Is A Fag" held up at his funeral would have a certain satirical impact.
 
Nothing. If anything it should be to send them well wishes and respect the dead.

Don't lower yourself to their level.

Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Sr. 'on the edge of death' - NY Daily News

I say we ignore it. Any attention whatsoever, especially any type of protest, will please the remaining members. I don't want to give them the satisfaction.

We won't, of course, but that's what would be done if it were my call.



Why is it even a question?

Why would anyone want to clime into the gutter they've been disgusted with? Payback? That's as bad as them.

You would see the whole church go up in spontaneous combustion at that point.
 
No, of course not you don't go protest his funeral. That lacks all originality.

You simply go to your local outdoor/gun shop and buy a few bottles of skunk scent. Then a couple hours before the service you spray it around the grave site. It should leave a fine scent for their farewell to Freddie.
