Six people died in the NIU shooting. The 7th was the shooters suicide. This will not stand.
And I am pissed, and I need to find the “people” out there from Westboro Baptist that are glad my peers died. They’re glad. I’ve started a peaceful protest over the phone. After some research I found their phone number and have had many conversations with these people. They’ve redefined insanity. I tried my best to give everyone this phone number to call these people and ask why they are doing this. My friend Evan sat next to me as he called and ask why they’re glad that his hometown friend was shot and killed. The lovely Phelps-Roper lady that kept taking phone calls (I believe her to be Shirley Phelps-Roper) said that his friend deserved to die.
I just called and told them we were coming to find them, camera and cell phone in hand. I just got their individual cell phone numbers. No violence. Words are much better. They need to see the blood is not on my hands.
Did you see the students with tarps? A clever, low-tech solution.
