...I don't even.

Recently, a local high school teacher here was killed when hit by a car. A sad thing, a tragic accident, but...

Westboro Baptist Church is going to be picketing the funeral Friday. (http://www.ketv.com/news/25753392/detail.html, http://www.ketv.com/news/25766842/detail.html)

What.

The.

Hell.

In.

Fuck.

This isn't some major political figure, this isn't some person who lived in the public spotlight. This was just a person like you or me, who lived a decent, normal life and who had that ended tragically early.

And Westboro Fucking Baptist Church is fucking protesting at her funeral.

I just can't imagine what this must be like for her family, friends (she was an friend of my stepmother's), colleagues, and students. I have no words. But I have so very much anger. These twisted, sick fucks have evil in their hearts.

People as a whole annoy the shit out of me and this would be one of the reasons why. The sad thing is, even if someone asked them how they would feel if people picketed the funeral of one of their loved ones, they would be too self righteous to even consider it.

Yeah, I feel the exact same way. It really makes me want to avoid everyone because people like that are out there. And it's the truth, what you say--but not only that, people like them are bullies. And I don't think they'd consider anyone doing the same to them or their families, because they've got some sick, twisted idea that what they're doing is *right*. It just makes me so angry I just about feel ill with it. I so hope for a day where that church doesn't exist anymore.
