My wife was born in Bluefield, WV. We go back there from time to time. At a family gathering her cousin who is in law enforcement or something in one of the areas near there, mentioned that during one of the incidents in one of the mines a while back, some miners were trapped.

Lo and behold, the Westboro Baptist idiots showed up to protest who knows what. They did this in the sight of the families whose loved ones were trapped in the mine.

The local Sheriff decided to pull the a fire truck in front of the Westboro Baptist idiots. Well Fred Phelps gets all indignant and tells the Sheriff that "he can't do that" and "we have a right to protest". The Sheriff tells Fred, "You are mistaken, I didn't pull this truck in front of you to protect them from you, this truck is to protect you from them". He said "you see these hills around here? I imagine that anyone of these would be a good place to take aim from. That fire truck will provide you a little protection but make no mistake, these people will send you to Jesus. As a matter of fact, I fully expect one of you to meet him before this day is over".


Her cousin said that at that point the Westboro Baptist morons lost all taste for protesting, packed up and left. I can tell you I've been all over and the folks in that part of the country are a rare breed and aren't like folks I've met anywhere else.

Northern WV, southeast/eastern Ohio, and western PA I would say are more connected to each other than their respective states. It is northern Appalachia.

Pittsburgh for example has way more in common with the people of that area than Philadelphia on the other side of the state.


This. All of it.

You might as.well be in another state once you get west of the Alleghenies in PA. Pittsburgh is equal parts Appalachia(it is the capital and biggest city) and the Midwest.

I respect the history of that city. I do.

But saying that, the people who populate that city are pond scum. Filthy, angry, vile human beings. The same people who booed Santa and cheered a temporarily paralyzed Micheal Irvin as he lay on the turf at the Vet.And the city is absolutely dirty, hence why it's called "Filtha-delphia".

frick that city and frick the people that live there

Shake the oxy bottle with pills still in and you have the West Virginia mating call.
