speaking of Manitoba bus murders, though: Fred Phelps and Co were planning to protest the funeral of the victim, this coming Saturday in Winnipeg. Apparently the murder is god's punishment to Canada for being so lax on abortion, homosexuals and adultery.
The Westboro Phelpsites were spozed to come to Trawna to protest a play made up largely of verbatim quotes from Chairman Phred, moving on to Red Deer AB to protest a performance of The Laramie Project, and then thought to hit the funeral en route.
They were turned back at the border, as a group promulgating hate speech.
