WBC came to my high school last fall to protest our fall production of "The Laramie Project." They hype up their "scheduled" protests by posting awful articles about the whoever they plan to protest (as they did with my high school) on their website. When it came down to the protest there was 1-2 adults and I think maybe 3 kids. Really the best thing to do is to ignore them. They are looking for a reaction and they seem to always get one. I've seen several of their protests because they are located a few hours away from my home. It really is a shame and sickening to see how brainwashed the children are (holding signs saying anything from "rock chalk kill the faggots" or "gays caused 9/11"). Last I heard, Fred Phelps is in failing health so I just wonder how strong the church will be once he's passed.
