Members of Fred Phelps’s horrible Westboro Baptist Church — known for picketing everything from Matthew Shepard’s funeral to Fashion Week — will be in Aurora to disrupt a 6:30 memorial for the twelve people killed in Friday’s shooting. The announcement of Westboro’s latest cause (via the Twitter hashtags #godsenttheshooter and #ThankGodForTheShooter) has riled up a group of Redditors, who are now planning a counter-protest in the form of a “giant wall of people.” So far, the thread has amassed more than 5,000 comments, which indicates that Phelps and his people will end up outnumbered, as is usually the case.
