Hate Group to Protest Slain Officer's Funeral
Sergeant William Biggs, left, and Officer Tom Ballman were shot and killed at a city council meeting last week.
The Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, known for its disgraceful and disrespectful protests at the funerals of fallen American soldiers, has announced they will be protesting at the funeral of slain Kirkwood police officer Tom Ballman on Tuesday morning.
Officer Ballman, along with Sergeant William Biggs, were ambushed and brutally gunned down at a Kirkwood, Missouri, city council meeting on February 7.
The fanatical church, which protests just about everything they can under anti-gay auspices, has lost lawsuits totaling more than 5 million dollars for past protests at funerals of soldiers, sailors, and airmen killed in the War on Terror and has prompted legislation to outlaw protests and funerals.
The Kirkwood Police Department has suffered tremendously over the past three years following the 2005 ambush slaying of Sergeant William McEntee, whose killer was sentenced to death two weeks ago. A memorial erected in Sergeant McEntee’s memory was vandalized shortly after being unveiled and a group of local high school students are rallying to free his killer.
Please in holding the all Kirkwood police officers and the families of Officer Ballman and Sergeant Biggs in your prayers as this fanatical hate group attempts to diminish the memories of these two fallen heroes.

I'd like to park a tank on top of them, and have a sign on the side that says "God Hates WBC"

We are talking about a group that threatened to picket the funeral of the Amish girls.....
They are looking for press coverage.....
We had a full Ops plan in place when they threatened to show up for a soldiers funeral here...they never showed up.
And many thanks to the Patriot Guard for showing up...you rock!

I'm still not showing these funerals as mission rides. PGR will only participate by invitation.

I have a sneaking suspicion doing this at a police funeral might be a tad more dangerous for them than doing it at a military funeral.
The Patriot Guard (bless them) may not be of service when it could be handled more directly.

What in the hell would they be protesting about? As distasteful as I find them, at least the anit-war message has a shred of logic to it, twisted and hateful, but logic. What is their problem here??

It has not been on the news about them showing up to the funeral as of yet. Hopefully Beans can come in and confirm or deny the presence of the morons.

They hope that a fracas breaks out, or that someone tries to infringe on their free speech.
They make their money by suing people.
They also threaten to picket for the PR.

I heard that they were there. The news did not say anything but some guys did see those assholes from afar. Our department is handling all calls in Kirkwood until after the funeral so they can grieve.

I'm with you and it does not even have to be a good spot to lay.

We do that for a local PD as well when they have their annual officers memorial celebration.
Maybe just maybe the news is finally learning to respect the people that have given so much and paid the ultimate price in not giving these f'ing protesters any air time. But thats probably not likely.

Please do that. Take out every last one of them. Wipe them all out until there is no one left. WBC is insane and needs to be annihilated.
