Nebraska Students Tell Fred Phelps to Get Out of Dodge

A random Westboro Baptist Church protest

Damn, Nebraska! You're no Florida.

Police had to escort Fred Phelps and his minions from Dodge Street where they were protesting, as the police were unable to protect them from a crowd of high school students. The students threw hamburgers, and cartons of orange juice and milk at the members of Phelps' virulently anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church.

According to the Omaha World Herald,

Students chanted "Diversity," "Obama" and "Gay is OK." At one point, they broke into a chant of the Pledge of Allegiance, yelling, "Liberty and justice for all."

One student held a sign that said, "This Jew is not afraid of you." Fliers found on the ground read, "Zona libre de odio", Spanish for "Hate-free zone."
