On Face the Nation today, host John Dickerson asked Louisiana Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal about the possibility of the Westboro Baptist Church disrupting funeral services tomorrow for victims of the mass shooting last Thursday at the Lafayette, Louisiana theater.

DICKERSON:
"Let me ask you a last question about that funeral service tomorrow.
The Westboro Baptist Church, which has disrupted other funerals in the past, is threatening to do so again.
What can you do to keep them away?"

JINDAL:
"If they come to Louisiana, they try to disrupt this funeral, we're going to lock them up.
We're going to arrest them...They shouldn't try that in Louisiana...We won't abide by that here.....Let these families grieve.....Let them celebrate their daughters, their children, their spouses, their loved ones' lives in peace....They better not try that nonsense here."

1. Collusion

Some whack job for Jesus governor arrests whack job for Jesus protesters........whack job for Jesus protesters sue the state and make money off them........then kickback some money to the whack job for Jesus governor's Presidential campaign

2. I doubt that the Westboros will even go to Louisiana,

because they are cowards at heart, and probably won't want to risk getting arrested.
(but that's just my guess).

Piyush Jindal is as much a "whack job" as they are, IMO.

5. Don't do it, Bobby! That's just what they want!

The whole Westboro Baptist Cult monetization process starts when someone violates their civil rights by locking them in jail, hitting them, towing their van away...When those people came to my town, we worked very hard to keep the populace away from the cultists to prevent them from having anything to sue over.

6. "towing their van away"?

Did that actually happen?

Was it towed away while they were busy disrupting a funeral?

7. No, but they did get two tires slashed in Oklahoma

They went to McAlester OK to make asses of themselves. While doing that, both tires on the passenger side were slashed. (You can google this; there are tons of links each funnier than the last.) No one in town would help them, so they had to drive on the rims until they got far enough from McAlester that AAA would send a rollback to pick them up.

Where it gets sick: A little while later, three little girls were burned to death in an RV accident. That worthless asshole and his put-on-the-Earth-to-make-the-Palins-look-good family threatened to picket the girls' funeral as the Phelpses said the deaths were God's retribution against Oklahoma for damaging Fred's van.

Why do I get the feeling if someone were to commit an act of extreme violence against the Phelps cult, the investigation would be short and inconclusive?

8. One of these days, they're gonna go to far,

and find themselves in "a heap of trouble"

9. That's why Fred sent all his spawn to law school

They know exactly where the line is drawn, at least as far as the law is concerned, and go exactly that far.

The real worry for the Phelpses, however, isn't the majesty of the law. It's that one of the people they're abusing is going to commit a significant act of violence against them (like...oh, I don't know, maybe waiting until they leave the state for one of their demonstrations then burning down every structure on the block in Topeka they own) and The Authorities will refuse to lift a finger to help.
