The Dark Knight Batfans - One Last Time

[donk70]

My God, is nothing sacred anymore?

I hope this little party gets busted up

That's what Stormin's trying to do; get a troop of SHH'ers to go and curb these stone-cold-f**k-nuts before they picket.

They will probobly fly him back to be buried in his hometown. Unless he wanted to be cremated. But these jerks dont even probobly know he is from Australia.

I'm not trying to derail your thread IN ANY WAY, but in researching this I found something scary. This is Fred Phelps:

Now look at this:

Sad part is the one from poltergeist would be the one I want to hang out with. Even if he was in character the whole time.

LOL I gotta say, would be ammusing for the Ledger family if a line of Joker's banded together to thwart dumba** baptists who think they have the right to picket a funeral of a fine, outstanding young actor.

 

[JStorm]

This is my greatest fear.

This will need to be a matter handled with great delicacy.

I would say get as many Batfans as possible and just stand the perimeter of said funeral.

Wearing any sort of 'Batman' apparel.

When asked, what are you doing, all simply say the same thing and nothing else: "putting a man to rest, with decency and honor."

If provoked or mocked, stand without fear and "non-stooping of said person's level."


No signs; no chanting; no words - just arm and arm with your fellow-Batfan.

 

[DeaDheaD]

They should have his funeral here in Indiana, protesters have to stay 500 feet away from all funerals

 

[nbond99]

And THAT's why something has to be done, for those of you thinking it shouldn't.

I'm not saying a f**king RIOT should break out, but these whack jobs can't be allowed anywhere NEAR the funeral.

Someone's gotta intercept them and keep them from causing more harm to the Ledger family, as Norm put it.

CFE

Exactly, CFE. I strongly hope you guys do assemble and try to stop them. We've all praised Ledger, and in order to pay him back for what he's done for us, I think it's only right that this be done. Best of luck to those that go.

THAT is the PERFECT approach, IMO.

I love the idea. If we have the man-power, I want this.

If its in California then Heath's screwed, that state doesnt stand up for anyone.
Hopefully its in Austrailia

 

[xero1186]

I would much rather see the gay community of New York woop this guys ass. BBM was an important breakthrough in the film industry and I wouldn't want to see Ledger be chastised for it, especially at his funeral.

I'm not too worried about it though, these guys are from Kansas by the looks of it. I'm no New Yorker...but I'm assuming they can take them.

Heey, I'd stand up for him


*edit* oh nvm, you edit ninja you . I got what you meant...

 

[JStorm]

I dont have the money to go to the funeral. But I will post gay porn all over there little godhates***s website... and then ask a question, "WHY SO SERIOUS?" AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Degrading one's sense of morals only fuels the fire said groups feed on.


I understand your approach - but honor, in any 'belief' comes with a price.

 

[CFE]

JStorm is right, we'll be no better than them if we take the same de-grading approach to the situation.

these people cant be serious.

i was thinking about attending his funeral if its public

god is in his holy tem-ple.

creepy. as scary as he was in poltergeist 2 phelps is scarier. i see no difference between him and the likes of bin laden. using faith and religion to spread hate.

but as for your post norm, i had heard that the funeral will be held in perth so perhaps this wont be an issue. also i feel like the funeral arrangements will be kept private to prevent any kind of disturbance.

having said that i am on board. anything i can do will be done. there might be some sort of public memorial service and if there is its a safe bet that the wbc might show. i know that a few motorcycle clubs including the hells angels have provided security at a few soldiers funerals that were being picketed. i can see no reason why a phalanx of jokers could not be of similar service. if we can wait in line for hours to see six minutes of footage, if we can play online games for hours for an audio clip, and if we can run around major cities wearing clown makeup, we can not let this stand. we can do this. for ledger. for joker. for batman. and for human decency.

True, but what else can I do? I think it's very joker like, and I'm one of those people that if I could go to the funeral I would get arrested. I so furious I'm shaking right now.

But I respect where you're coming from.

These people are serious.

Dead serious.

Jesus, is that REAL?

That's outrageous and hideously cruel...Christ it hasn't even been 24 hours and THIS s**t gets pulled.

Unbelieveable. This is officially the worst week of 2008 so far, not just because of the obvious, but because this pisses me off to no end.

CFE

It's the real deal. I saw it on one of the tabloid sites yesterday.

 

[C. Lee]

Speaking as a Babtist.....the Westboro sickos in no way represent us. They are deranged lunatics who hide behind their own perverted ideas of freedom of speach and freedom of religion.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I support this move by Norm wholeheartedly but keep it intelligent and classy in here guys, this is about doing the right thing not Batman or indeed any kind of physical action.

These people contradict themselves to such an emberassing extent.
"love thy neighbor. Hm, that must mean we should love only people who do what we do and protest against everyone else!"
