Known for protesting funerals and its hate speech around LGBTs, and Jews, the Westboro Baptist Church is believed to be planning a major protest of E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
“Last year it was the damn biker gangs,” explains Officer Bob (not his real name) of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department. “But now it looks like we’re going to have to deal with this group of bible thumpers next.”
While the religious group has restricted their past protests mostly to military and celebrity funerals they have been known to protest at other major events where news cameras might be rolling, and there will be no place better for the church than at E3. With Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and several other major video game publishers showing off their new wares it will be easy for the church to infiltrate the convention floor.
