Did WBC Picket MJ's Funeral?

[JohnC]

Did the Westboro Baptist Church ricket Michael's funeral?

I was reading on Wikipedia:

Westboro picketed the funeral of recording artist Michael Jackson after his death on June 25, 2009. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church have also recorded a song titled "God Hates the World", an adaptation of Jackson's charity single "We Are the World."

(You can see lyrics to their parodys here)

Here's 2 articles I found:

(note: I've only linked these for a reason, please don't post any quotes of their offensive statement in this thread, out of respect for those who don't want to read it)

So did they actually do it? or was it just 'planned'?

I cannot understand how anyone can be so pure evil as the WBC. Their whole agenda revolves around hate. To picket someone's funeral has to be the lowest and most heartless act anyone can do. And these people think they are doing God a favour? :mello:

I have to say though, some of their parody lyrics are very inventive (though deeply disturbing). They did MJ's "Bad" too lol:

And J5's "I'll Be There":

"We'll be there

We'll be there
Whenever God smacks you, we'll be there​

(Just look over your shoulders, rebels -oo)" :lol:

those people make me so sick i cant even stand to read about them. they no nothing about god or the bible if they honestly believe that spreading hate and protesting funerals is something that god wants them to do.those people will answer for their sins when their day comes. i they did protest Michae's funeral it didnt make the news and im sure fans and mj's family would have done everything they could to have stopped them.these people just want their names in the papers they dont care about anything but themselves. they are the poster childs of evil if you ask me.
