Bobby Jindal Threatens WBC

by

If the Westboro Baptist Street Theater Troupe shows up in Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal will make sure they receive state-funded accommodations.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal threatened to “lock up” protesters from the controversial Westboro Baptist Church if they demonstrate outside the funeral of the two women who died this week in a shooting at a Lafayette theater.

“If they come here to Louisiana, if they disrupt that funeral, we are going to lock them up,” Jindal said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

  2. @ hmm_contrib: What’s this? A liberal defending the Westboro Baptist Church’s constitutional rights? Well I never!

    How come you don’t respect other Christians’ rights to free speech and free exercise of religion?

  9. “Demonstrating outside” the funeral is not the same as “disrupting” the funeral.

    Fine. Why don’t you and your posse of Progressives demonstrate the uses of jesus-on-the-cross dildoes outside of the funeral?

    Amorality at least has 52,000 shades of relativity when it is the amoral ignor-anus who is offended. Otherwise, for the amoral throwing poo into the fan is A-OK, so long as the amoral are not offended.

    How convenient it is for moral relativists to ignore what offends others while going full metal jacket on those things which piss them off. Some see hypocrisy in that, moral relativists resort to their fascist tendencies and flip off their critics as mouth breathing numbskulls.

  11. Jesus told his disciples to walk away if people rejected them, not stick around and say, “See? God killed your son because you tolerate sodomites in your midst.” I would like to see some people explain that to them. Torches and pitchforks would be optional.

  12. These WBC folks are the biggest idiots, so I really don’t care if Jindal locks them up. BTW as per their antics–have they gotten locked up in other places. OK, your church views being gay as a sin–but what does that have to do with military funerals (where they have performed their antics) or these upcoming funerals? WBC does the word logic or common sense
    encroach into your vocabulary?

  13. @ Brooklyn Dave: Apparently, the WBC views the deaths of servicemen and servicewomen (and probably everybody else) in the country as the result of the fact that homosexuals live within borders of the U.S. without being arrested or executed, and God is punishing the country by directly causing all military deaths and major tragedies in the country. Even though, you know, Jesus debunked the idea that misfortune befalls people because of others’ sins.

  14. Eh.

    I view Westboro the same way that I do the Satanists; if you’re going to do that, at least do it right, instead of just half-assed trolling and outragery. Rape an infant, start a building on fire, do something illegal instead of just pissing people off.

    I understand Jindal’s point in this, but frankly, he’s wasting his effort. Turning your back on them is simpler and has twice the effectiveness.

  15. Sorry, guys, but the actions of the WBC have been deemed protected speech whether you like it or not. Deal with it.

    To be honest the ones who flip out are pretty much doing what those nutjobs want. Their whole MO is to piss some people off so much there’s physical confrontation, which opens the door to lawsuits. As they say, follow the money.

    Jindal will be facing a nice little civil suit if he does arrest them.
