It is bad enough that three local students are dead and a lot more injured after a local school bus plunged off the I-565 onto Church Street in Huntsville. The community is dealing with that tragedy the best way it can.
Now we find out that Rev. Phelps and his band of moronic hate-mongers are coming to town to protest the funerals of the children killed in the accident.
Apparently, Rev. Phelps thinks that Alabama is going to Hell and has lost its godly way. Has he forgotten about Roy Moore and all of the other religious crap we have to deal with here in Alabama?
Because we found out so late that he was coming and the Thanksgiving holiday has closed the Madison County offices, we cannot have a large-scale counter-protest to this moron to let Alabamians and Americans know that his views are not tolerated here in Alabama.
However, as individuals, we have the right to freedom of speech and assembly and we will use those rights this weekend. As individuals we can stand on the street with a sign. As individuals we can line the street to let his people know they are not welcome and to let the mourners of the funeral know that we are with them.
Phelps is just one more reason why religion is bad.
