a few weeks ago my mother, who works at a jewish community center in seattle, was surprised to hear the infamous westboro baptist church would be protesting at her place of work (on a saturday, the sabbath of all days). the westboro baptist church is famous for protesting at the funerals of war veterans, lgbt events, places of jewish congregation, and other areas they believe the wrath of god should be felt. my hour or so long experience around them was interesting, they were friendly and non-confrontational, didn’t speak unless spoken to, however they projected beliefs i neither endorse or agree with. i don’t seek to promote their causes so i won’t continue to write about them, however i will let the video i took below speak for itself.
i’m all for free speech, however some people take it too far. i’m getting really tired of all the hate mongering that continues to pervade our society.
