Quote:The Westboro idiots decided to protest a Foo Fighters show so the band went out there and rickrolled them.

 

I thought it was amusing anyway.

 

LOL.  I'm really getting old.  I had to google "rickroll" to understand what is going on.  

 

I do like the Foo Fighters' music, but didn't realize that was them in the truck until I re-read the story.

It wasn't a protest, it was the Westboro Baptist Church doing their usual "God hates f...s" shtick that they use when picketing things like concerts, film premieres, political events and, you know, soldiers' funerals.

 

The Foos didn't break anything up, per se. They just made life miserable for the Westboro thugs that, imo, should all be burned at the stake by completely owning the WBC both in song and in drawing hundreds of people in to surround the truck, all but forcing the WBC off the block as more and more people squeezed in front of them.

 

Normally I'm a "live and let live" type, but anything bad that happens to the WBC is a good thing in my book, and when the Foos are behind it, a grand old time was had by all.

 

I dislike the WBC every bit as much as you.  I don't agree with their message at all, nor do I agree with their choice of venue.  That being said, I do support their right to do what they do.
