Westboro Baptist Church Protests at Clayton High School

Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest at two local high schools today. Patch local editors are on the scene. Nate Birt is live in Clayton and Joe Barker is live in St. Peters. Patch will provide real-time updates throughout the morning. Stay tuned!

  1. "Pure positive energy" in the St. Louis area today, according to local tweets, thanks to the counter-protesters who outnumbered the Westboro people and sent them on their way in record time in Clayton.
  2. Numbers don't outweigh the haters. It's the pure positive energy that does. Westboro Baptist Church has been defeated in #STL.
  3. Nice job making the #Westboro experience a more positive, love-affirming and solidarity-filled event than I thought it would be, #StL.
  4. RT @StaceyAdamz: Clayton High School students this morning during the protest from Westboro Baptist Church.... yfrog.com/kewssuyj

  6. Westboro babtist church. This is why I laugh at religion.
  7. Do Westboro Baptist members even have jobs? I can't imagine any job being ok with missing that many days to protest for stupid reasons.
  8. I don't even know what I would do if Westboro Baptist Church showed up at my child's school. These people are straight from hell!
  9. RT @PummeloWizard: Obama says Jesus supports higher taxes. Westboro says Jesus hates fags. A WA pastor says Jesus hates Starbucks. I smell lightning bolts.
  10. can't wait until these #westboro crazies reach judgement day...they're so delusional.
