Superheroes vs. the Westboro Baptist Church
sv_libertarian writes "They've faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them at Comic-Con. After all, who can win against a counter-protest that includes robots, magical anime girls, Trekkies, Jedi, and... kittens?"
Well, I won't compare where I've been and what I've done with any Marine. But, I will say that I've been in two places where I was more than happy to see the Marines come ashore, and I've been in a couple of others where I WISHED the Marines would come ashore. Walking into that church or it's offices to do away with that particular group of douchebags wouldn't even compare, for "intestinal fortitude". MY PROBLEM would be the legal ramifications, very closely followed by the media circus.
Call me a coward, but I do not want to be on television for the next several months as "The madman who killed a bunch of religious nuts" or some similar title. The court? Only a fool wants to go through all that nonsense.
