Can we please stop giving these oxygen thieves attention now? (I know I am giving them attention here, shut up)

King Gizzard 07-12-2013 05:53 PM

^ it's the only way they're as known as they are, all of the attention they get from all their stunts

King Gizzard 07-12-2013 05:54 PM

and for newspapers/news sites that report on them, it's just for easy hits from outraged people, nothing else

Kind of in your Samantha Brick/Katie Hopkins category, stop giving them attention and airtime, but DM got loaaads of traffic from Samantha Brick

Publicity seeking A***holes....!!!!!

Give them all the fuel they want... They shouldn't (and won't) be anywhere near that funeral.

It's funny they get coverage isn't it?
There are 1000s protesting about savage cuts to public services and there's a media blackout on that.

King Gizzard 07-12-2013 11:42 PM

yeah, as I said, media only care about the hits and traffic and they'd get more interest in reporting this and not demonstrations over cuts which are often peaceful demonstrations

I hate the WBC, they deserve literally no response from people. They are just extreme attention seekers and what they do is vile but as hypocritical as it sounds when their head member pops off the mortal coil I hope people treat them and his death with the same contempt they treat innocent strangers.

The Westboro Baptist Church didn’t waste any time with its announcement to picket Nelson Mandela’s funeral. According to a Heavy News report dated December 5, the WBC announced its intention to fly to Africa to picket Mandela’s funeral within minutes of the announcement of his death.

WBC sites the fact that the Rainbow Nation has no ban on the Westboro Baptist Church.

WBC tweeted its intention at 9 p.m. December 5:


“THANK GOD for Nelson Mandela being dropped into hell! Westboro Baptist Church booking flight to South Africa (not banned) to picket funeral!”

According to the Sandon Chronicle, all roads to Mandela’s Houghton home were closed at 7:30 a.m. on December 6. Police are now barricading the road and are not letting people through.

Many are outraged at the WBC intention to picket Mandela’s funeral. It is unknown whether the WBC will be stopped from picketing the funeral.

The Westboro Baptist Church has tweeted several news agencies in an attempt to get details on the funeral for Mandela so that they can make plans to picket.

Several tweets in response to the WBC suggest that they will not be offered the same protections they receive in the United States if they try to picket

The controversial organisation, which has picketed funerals of US soldiers and other prominent people, tweeted that it will be travelling to South Africa to protest at the struggle icon's funeral.

"THANK GOD for Nelson Mandela being dropped into hell! Westboro Baptist Church booking flight to South Africa (not banned) to picket funeral!" it tweeted.

"'World leaders mourn the death of Nelson Mandela' #Madiba 'Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!' Jesus Christ at Luke 6:26," it later posted.

However, other Twitter users have hit back at the organisation.

"You are truly lost human beings, you claim 2 b people of god but you couldnt be further from the truth you preach nothing but hate," said user @Tuckthestrutt.

"South Africa will most certainly greet you with more extreme prejudice than authorities allow here in the US. Some may not return," said Twitter user @JimFTFD.

"Disrespectful scumbags. If anyone is going to hell, it's you guys," responded another user, @Hushpigg

Thought about this and cannot realistically think they would be stupid enough to attempt a stunt like this.

Nelson Mandela is so revered in South Africa that if anybody tried to picket his funeral in this disgusting manner with placards saying NM burn in hell, well to be honest they would not last 5 mins and would most like all be dragged into the nearest field stood up covered in tyres and then set on fire.

Come to think of it this would be a fitting end for the members of this sick cult.

So bring it on ... !!!!

..yeah, I totally agree, I'm sure it's just an attention/publicity thing..the self obsessed/selfishness of their mind set...

They will end up doing their picket at an American church which is celebrating Mandela's life and where they know they will be protected by the American police.

**** sake.. anyone remember that documentary Louis Theroux did where he went to their house for a bit and travelled round with them? it was the most awkwardly funniest thing ever, they kept telling him he was going to Hell every single minute he was there just because he had sex with his wife before they got married.

actually felt sorry for the Kids and Daughters though because they don't really have a say or are educated in anything else apart from their rules and in the end they are just brainwashed.. a good few of the main guy's daughters have ran away though and he has just abandoned them and refuse to even acknowledge that they exist anymore
