So THIS is what Jesus would do
For those of you who don't know, 10 people recently died in a house fire not too far from Louisville. Most of the victims were little children. Some sick fucks see this as the perfect media opportunity to spread their love of the Lord.
Protesters may be arrested if they show up at funeral

Attorney General Greg Stumbo told law enforcement officials in Bardstown that protestors who plan to demonstrate at a funeral Saturday for 10 fire victims could be subject to arrest.
A group from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., plans to come to Bardstown to express their belief that the family’s deaths are God’s punishment for a nation that condones homosexuality. The group has protested at funerals across the country, often those of soldiers killed in Iraq.
In September, a federal judge ruled that peaceful funeral protests are allowed and barred enforcement of a law passed by the Kentucky legislature that would prohibit such protests.
But Stumbo issued an advisory today that reminds law enforcement officials that by law no person may block access to any funeral, engage in violent or threatening behavior, make unreasonable noise or create any other hazardous or offensive condition within 300 feet of a funeral home, memorial service or cemetery during a funeral or burial.
“It is critical that the rights of grieving families and communities are protected,” Stumbo said.
Janet Tonge, a sister of one of the fire victims, Sherry Maddox, said she is very angry about the Kansas church’s plans to protest as her family grapples with the loss of so many relatives.
Bardstown Mayor Dick Heaton said today that he is meeting with local police to determine a plan of action to be prepared for the protest.
But he urged people to try their best to ignore the protest, which he said is disrespectful and aimed only at getting media attention.
“The best thing you can do is really ignore them,” Heaton said. “There’s nothing that they stand for that has any relevance to this situation.”
I tell you this much, if one of those fucks showed up at the funeral of any of my family members, they'd be leaving with a few extra holes. I am not kidding.

Amen.
...Stumbo?
I just read in the paper that WLRS let them spout their beliefs on the radio station, and in return the church agreed to leave the funeral alone.
They're still horrible horrible people, though.
They are not Christians. They don't belong to a church - they belong to a cult.
Jesus wept when Lazarus died, and he would weep for this family.
