Protestor Circulates Hate Fliers
WEST VIRGINIA....
In the aftermath of an explosion which left miners dead at the Upper Big Branch mine, a couple dozen coal miners and their friends showed up Thursday morning outside Marsh Fork Elementary School to turn away protest members of the Westboro Baptist Church, which is unaffiliated with any Baptist organization. The protestors, who usually carry signs like "God hates fags" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers," briefly demonstrated at the University of Charleston and the state Capitol this. Protesters didn't show up at Marsh Fork, but, at least one member, was circulating fliers that read, "God hates WV! The dead miners are in Hell!"
