Sigh. The sociopaths from the Westboro Baptist “Church” claim they’re picketing the funerals of the firefighters killed in the Yarnell Hill Fire.
The closeted homosexuals delusional “church” members claim God sent the fire because gay folks exist, or something like that.

The thing is, WBC threatens pickets a lot more than they actually show up.
You may recall that the loons also threatened to protest the funeral of 9-year-old Christina Greene, who was murdered by madman Jared Loughner during his shooting rampage in Tucson in 2011. They didn’t end up going, purportedly because a radio station agreed to give them some air time.
We’ll spare you the bizarre rant about these fires from WBC, but we’ll note that they somehow blame Democratic Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema for the blaze.
Whatever. To hell with ’em.
UPDATE: Yarnell Hill Fire 8 Percent Contained; Westboro Baptist Creeps No-Show at Vigil for Firefighters
