Those losers were everywhere the past few years but I been lucky to not see anything from them lately.

Figured they would have dozens in Vegas with that recent tragedy

I haven't heard about them in at least a year.
Why are you giving them attention now?

It's a tiny little 'church.' Membership can't be more than 20. Pretty easy to corral so few.

When people started allowing them to protest, it countered their real agenda, lawsuits. When they couldn't make money from suing people, they have faded.

I am surprised no one ever went ballistic on them.

Their goal use to be to provoke people in order to cause them to do something they could sue them for right? That is pretty fricked up.

Step One: Submerge Westboro in Salt Water
Step Two: Wait on nature to grow coral there.

ETA: Coral =/= Corral

Pretty much. About half of the members are/were attorneys.

Yep. Crazy enough, Fred Phelps actually did a lot of civil rights cases in Kansas during the 50 or 60s, when he was young. But I can't remember at what point he went bat shite crazy, and started suing everyone. I'm pretty sure most of his family also became lawyers.

People also stopped paying attention to them and stopped giving them free air time when they do show up. No shock value to it anymore for the media.
