The West Boro Baptist church should be forced to pay compensation to every single famialy of the fallen soldiers funerals they disturbed, and have all their homes and their church burrned to the ground whilst they all watch, then we need to get a large group of protesters to throw stones at them and drive them out the country.

Why should china have to put up with them? They should just be gasses with poison fumes and their bodies thrown into a furnace and their ashes flushed down a toilet or fed to piggs. Who ever commits the first murder against these people should be given $1000000's I hope the next time the arsonists attack, they are all trapped and burn to death slowley.

If you belive that, then you are just one of them and should be treated the same as them. I'm an athiest, I DON'T hate gays, or Jews. Get the hell over the fact some people are gay, their is nothing wrong with it, and your in a minority, who should be wiped off the face of the earth, **** the WBC, I hope they all get caught in the next fire and die slowley and painfully. EVERYONE HATES them, I speak for ever parent of every marine and every friend of every gay child or adult. It's only a matter of time before the WBC get what they deserve.
