Members of Westboro Needs To Grow Up

by Cheval John

It seems to me that the members of Westboro Baptist Chuch don’t know when enough is enough.

The church is known for picketing funerals of soldiers who were killed while fighting to protect our country.

That alone is distasteful.

But what they are about to do crossing the line.

According to a report by Elizabeth Tenety of the Washington Post, these same members are going to picket the funerals of the people who was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting last Friday.

These people “believe” that this was God’s judgement on the state of Connecticut for legalizing gay marriage.

This alone sickenings me because they don’t seem to realized that most of the victims were children who were under ten years old.

They don’t understand the grief that the parents are going through at this moment.

All they care about is passing judgement on people in the name of God “believing” that they are doing his will.

What they need to understand is that it could have been their children in that mess.

They need to understand that those who survived this will be traumatized and will need all the support and prayers of a nation who cares about their well being.

What they don’t need is a group of idiots who want to go to funerals and protest all of their nonsense so that they can get their twisted message out there.

If they do go out to Connecticut, I really hope that along the way they realize that these were innocent people who were doing the normal routine of going to school and learning their ABCs and learning how to treat their peers with respect.

If that happens, that will be the greatest miracle that will ever happen in this nation.
