Ding dong the witch is dead! Wouldn't it be funny if people start causing problems at this clown's funeral.
I know exactly what motivated mister Phelps. The complete and utter lack of a working heart and brain.

I suppose it'd be stupid to say hatred would be the inappropriate response in a case like this?
It isn't just about being the bigger person or anything like that. This was a hateful man. Their group thrives on conflict. It'd almost feel like...honoring him.
