westboro baptist church

Arizona inhabitants are making strides to prevent the Westboro Baptist Church from disrupting the funerals for the victims of Saturday's tragic shootings in Tucson, with bikers and others planning a massive counter attack and state lawmakers fast-tracking a bill to harbor the group.

The Kansas-based Westboro church, (example of their protest pictured left) is notorious for showing up at the funerals of dead soldiers and other high-profile gatherings wielding anti-gay signs but when the church announced it would picket the funeral Thursday Gabrielle Giffords, Tucson- and Phoenix-area residents started organizing immediately. "It makes me sick to my stomach," said Glen Littell, who's bringing a pack of bikers from the Phoenix Motorcycle Rider Group to Tucson on Thursday. "They're a stench from a slaughterhouse."

So the Westboro Baptist Church are stoking more flames, this time at the funerals of the Arizona shootings and here's hoping that their presence is eradicated.
