Westboro protesters gassed
CNN reports that a 62-year-old man fired a cannister of pepper spray at a crowd of the Westboro fags who happened to be protesting at a funeral for a Marine at the time in front of a church in Omaha;
George Vogel, 62, who lives just north of Omaha, was booked for 16 counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of felony assault on a police officer for the pepper-spray exposure, police said. Vogel also faces one count of child neglect because his child was in the truck, Pecha told CNN.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, a member of Westboro Baptist Church, said Omaha police did not adequately control roughly 30 counter-protesters, who she said jostled with church members. She also challenged Knudsen’s and Pecha’s account, saying a few Patriot Guard members were among the counter-protesters.
The group was about 1,000 feet from the church when the driver came by. “Of course it was directed at us,” Phelps-Roper, who is Fred Phelps’ daughter, said of the pepper spray.
No, I don’t condone an assault on the Westboro members. Do I wish they’d all simultaneously fall dead of a disease? Yes. But they’re not worth a jail term – certainly not worth endangering a child.
And there aren’t words to express my gratitude to the Patriot Guard Riders for what they do for bereaved families.

Re: Patriot Guard. The amount of restraint those riders exibit is phenomenal. I cannot imagine how hard it must be not to jack a few jaws.

Can’t condone what he did, but I’m only surprised someone hasn’t done it sooner.
NHSparky,
It has been done before … I can’t remember the location (somewhere in the NE as I vaguely remember) but they were chased away and the windows of their van were broken.
Anyway, during a funeral for an American Veteran respect should be given by both sides of whatever issue. (my opinion???) After the funeral??? Let ‘er rip!!! However, the police usually escort them away from their protest. (keeping the peace you know). Actions such as committed by Mr Vogel only dishonor the veteran and his service.
The other thing is that this is how the WBC(ult) supports themselves. Lawsuits and video.
They are a disgusting lot and I certainly support the response of several of our young warriors from the 3rd Infanty at Arlington National Cemetary …
Dammit guys,
I have no idea how to post URL links or pictures on this site … sorry if you have to post the Copy/Paste to view the image

One more time … a smaller picture
I’ll be honest with you. I do condone it. Fuck em, hope they all got a mouth full.
Sweet weeping jesus John, you got my hopes up that we were rid of those ass bandits once and for all. I’ve been on over 20 missions with PGR and when the family of one of our fallen comes over and thanks you for being there its one of the most humbling feelings you can imagine. Makes you want to do anything to protect them from shitbirds like those.
Yeah Jonn I’d like to be able to take the moral high ground also, but I agree w/ Marine 83. This is something that appeals to my baser instincts and is getting harder to bridle as things keep on getting more FUCKED UP in this country. Geez I better go take my xanax, a shot of vodka and pop in an episode of “Sons Of Anarchy”.
I forgot to add my own little protest sign “Lions,Tigers and Bears Love Christians err I mean fresh meat. Honestly I have nothing againist REAL CHRISTIANS just the westboro kind.
Remember, kids, when Christians do abhorrent things, it’s ’cause they’re not REAL CHRISTIANS but when Muslims do abhorrent things, it’s because ISLAM IS EVIL.
How’s Scotland this time of year?
Scotland is beautiful this time of year. But then it’s beautiful any time of year. 🙂
I’m not a Christian, of any kind. But I was raised that way, and guess what, they aint. Hope every one of the bastards got a big lung full of the shit. God Damn, what the hell is going on with this country. I know, but it don’t make it any easier to swallow……
Well, Clement, I would love to debate you on this, but I think you’re just itching for someone to actually want to debate you on your stupid statement aka being a troll. So, in the interest of keeping things moving, I will just say something very un-Christian like “fuck off”.
As for the WBC, I agree with Marine 83 and Dirty Al.
Marine 83 said it best! I’ve only been on two PGR missions so far and haven’t encountered any protestors. I don’t know what I’ll do when/if that happens. Let’s just hope I don’t have to find out.
Putting aside the question of whether Vogel was right to gas the protestors, would it be right to nullify his conviction if you were sitting on the jury?
When PGR first came into being, I signed on. Then realized that as “one of them”, I would be limited in my response to assholes whom the WBC define so very well. I get the notifications sent by PGR in my 4 state area, but do NOT represent them.
Clement, Troll on dummy, just troll on.
Vogel is 62 and has his child in the car? How old was that child?
I was wondering the same thing, Caroline. Brings up another question… how old is his wife?
There comes a time when restraint proves counter-productive and actions beyond the pale of normal circumstance is not only warranted, but demanded.
In the case of these assmaggots from the Church that shall not be Named, I believe that it is high time that the citizenry provides the response that the law refuses.
There are certain areas of decorum that society demands of all it’s members, and which transcend political expression and personal feelings. The funeral of any of our Warriors and/or Veterans is one such time.
When the law, and those elected to represent us, fail to take the appropriate measures which a decent and good society demands, then the people themselves have every right, and I would say an absolute obligation, to provide that response, and see that the offending parties are punished to such an extent that they will not even consider such actions in the future.
YMMV, of course, but that’s how I see things.
I’ve said this before (not here) but it bears repeating.
These mouth-breathing, inbred, white trash pecker-woods have demonstrated at a church I used to attend when I lived in Leavenworth KS…I have seen them close up.
One day, they are going to defile the wrong Soldier’s/Marine’s/Airman’s/Sailor’s funeral. And then, some heartbroken, enraged family members will produce firearms and do society a big favor by removing the entire clan (men, women and kids…yep, I said it, KIDS…they are totally brain washed and cannot be re-programmed) from the gene pool.
If that happens, I will be the first to send a $1,000.00 check to the legal defense fund of the person/persons who rid of us these cockroaches.

Damn it. I should have stuck around longer last night. I still stick by what I said, REAL CHRISTIANS DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE them one’s at westboro. I also didn’t say a GULF DELTA thing about the muzzies. So Clement you can take a flying INTERCOURSE AT A ROLLING DOUGHY PASTRY and keep your cum burper shut. POS TROLL.
He should have had the kid spry them and then the cops could arrest the kid.
Marine 83 nailed it – Semper Fi!
I don’t know why anyone has to use disclaimers, like, “Not that I condone it…” Hell yes, I condone, encourage and applaud it, hope to see more of it, and think that the counter protesters should beat the living shit out of ANYONE who defiles a sacred time like that of a patriot family saying goodbye to a loved one. Leave their asses crying and bloody on the sidewalks.
I also think they should beat the shit out of any cops who interfere… the cops are always quick to jump on / tase / beat or shoot anyone who seems frail, civil or alone, rather than risk personal harm going after the real scumbags. They seem to only exist these days to protect the evil and persecute the innocent.
I once watched four douchebags at a pro-Mexican Illegals rally, trying to burn a US flag. A retired Ranger from the Nam era, must have been 65 or so, ran in and snatched the flag away from the bastards and got in their faces.
Guess who the five brave cops arrested??? Yeah, the Ranger. For defending his country’s honor. Piss on ’em.
