The Westboro Baptist Church has a long history of media-soliciting
domestic and international hate protests, with pickets targeting the
funerals of dead children at Sandy Hook, fallen soldiers and celebrities
like Paul Walker drawing outsized attention.
Their next dive
into the fray is a triple-gainer by their historical standards, though —
a protest of Nelson Mandela’s funeral. In South Africa.
In a series of deliberately-provocative Twitter posts,
the church says it is buying plane tickets to South Africa and is
hoping to coordinate with South African police while they stage a
protest at the funeral, citing Mandela’s divorce and remarriage as
evidence of damnation. Full story here!
