Cool WBC of Topeka KS Protest in Downtown Dallas at Cathederal - 07-12-2010, 05:43 PM

It was rather quite, now I didn't make the very start of the event but I don't think anything happened before I arrived.

One thing that I didn't like, but didn't say anything to the WBC people, was how they disrespected the American Flag-treating it as a rag-throwing it on the ground etc.

The counter-protestors, who I walked through a couple time, were just pretty much having fun and did sing a few songs and had a few chants. Other people shooting the event (both still and video) were pretty much having fun picking out their favorite counter-protest signs. (I personally like the Timmy and the I Farted signs).

Nice set -- thanks for covering it. Gotta love the one counter-protest sign, though: "God hates Vuvuzelas." Now THAT's some good theology!

It was easy to shoot and one that I was pretty sure that would draw a decent crowd. What was kind of funny was that there were about a half a dozen hispanic kids (about 10-14 years old getting ready to go to church) who were standing to the side under some trees in front of the cathedral who were pointing out some of the counter protest signs, they were in a bad shot to try to shoot them without getting their attention (would have had to use fill flash which would have caused them to want to pose) so didn't shoot them-wish I had now.
