Too shocked and digusted to think of anything useful to say. Stone the bastard to death.

Someone could turn the situation around and flood the park with sculptures that give a positive / tolerant message.
The Phelps dildo is a good idea, too.
I think a butt plug would be more appropriate, however.

I fail to see how this is a first amendment issue- he's essentially slandering someone who's dead and can't defend themselves. That's not a religious expression.
The town should invoke eminent domain and tell them to piss off.

That's sick. How is this even illegal? Can't the relatives of this guy just say it can't be done, since it clearly trashers the guys honour, and even their families?
Someone should beat this guy senseless.

Why can't somebody accidentally hit Phelps with a cruise missile or something? Y'know, he has to wander by a military testing range now and then, right? I mean, no one would be none the wiser. Just a big ol' crater left where Phelps and friends once were.

This guy goes against the Christian principles of Tolerence and brotherly love.

Denying permits due to the content of the "memorial" is a bit of a problem, legally, because most of Phelp's family are lawyers with nothing else to do, and the city really shouldn't have to get tied up in court fights over stuff like this.
I'd be tempted to good ol' boy it, and quietly let the word out that once that thing was installed, if it got "lost" or "stolen" or had a load of ready mix poured on to it, or any other form of "unfortunate circumstance" that didn't kill anyone or destroy city property, then the city wouldn't be too bent out of shape, and local law enforcement might just be a tad too busy to make a priority of investigating such unfortunate acts.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016.

@ Asher. I like that.
The reason that we don't arrest someone like this is because of "slippery slope" sort of thing. We'd rather err on the side of caution when protecting freedom of expression. And frankly, in the grand scheme of things he's insignificant anyways.Comment

I agree MM, but since Phelps is a preacher, everything his does and says, Rev. Phelps brings God into it.Originally posted by The Mad Monk
Please leave God out of this.
I wonder if the Baptist church will excommunicate him. This way he can no longer "speak for God." Of course, I'm not holding my breath for this to happen...
