News had surfaced this week that Westboro Baptist church intended to picket the funerals of the Tucson massacre victims. The church is mostly comprised of one family, the Phelps, who have made a regrettable habit of picketing the funerals of a number of high profile individuals and soldiers, in acts that are not kind. They have announced today they will refrain from picketing the funerals of the Tucson victims.

Westboro needs to stop picketing at funerals, period. As stated on this site previously, it is not good to spew hateful statements at people, especially when they are trying to burry their loved ones. In the Bible, Jesus never showed up at people's funerals condemning their deceased loved ones and heckling attendants. This is not the Christian way.
