If you are going to SDCC, don't bring airsoft guns, don't go disrupt their demonstration, don't stand next to them and mock them, don't go simply to rant to them. Definitely don't trolll their website and spam it. Don't you hate it when people troll our site and spam it because they don't like us? Why would you do that to others?
They have a constitutional right to do what they do. I may not agree with or support it, and I think it's in very bad taste, but I will support their right to demonstrate in public areas (now if a cemetery should be designated a private space is something I support).
If you are going to SDCC, then go and enjoy SDCC. They shouldn't be on the center grounds so you can ignore them easily. If you absolutely, positively cannot live without interacting with them, then do so in a civil manner as an individual and with an open mind. While I have not dealt with the WBC, I have dealt with a similar groups at other conventions and at my school. They are individuals and vary in their own thoughts and feelings, and many do truly believe that what they are doing is to try and help people, twisted though it may appear to the rest of us.
It is not against the law to be where no one wants you to be. Their freedom to demonstrate does not infringe upon the attendees freedoms in any significant manner, and they do have the right to insult, just as you have a right not to listen.
Again, I urge 405th members to take the high road and do not engage, do not interact, do not get provoked. Just like the issue with the CCE, just leave them alone unless something illegal actually occurs.
You may only be partially kidding, though from what I've had to deal with working security at Fanime, it's not unreasonable to expect people to act on that. Half of the problem with protesters showing up is trying to control the crowd that shows up on the other side of the fence. Help the organizers, police, etc. by just going on about your day.
I cannot wait to see the older members of this cult get their teeth kicked in by going to another country and pulling this BS someplace else
Don't forget Chuck Norris and Ajax.I'm glad I'm Catholic so I cant be caught up in that crap! I'm not dissing Baptism, my best friend for life is Baptist, I'm just saying that those dudes just make Baptism look horrible and they arent! There is nothing wrong with nerds, gays, mentally ill people, crippled, and people who are just different! The only one to judge someone is God... and Peter the angel, the one that stands at the gates of heaven allowing people to enter.
If im not mistaken, what religious lifeform has a major hate for all things human (in this case also conventions) in a popular video game on these forums. And im pretty sure there are going to be a lot of UNSC there to kick covenant but.
Cult, Covenant, whatever they are or are not, its a semi riligous group that im sure does not care for spartans.
BRING IN THE MAC GUNS!
LOL
Wow it's people like this "church" that make Christianity look bad. Someone should tell them God hates sin, not people. I take offence to them saying they're christian because christian broken down means Christ-like and honestly they aren't. Jesus wouldn't protest comic-con. Then the deal with the soldiers funeral. Jesus would most likely give the eulogy. I say we protest them protesting.
I wonder where these guys backgrounds reside from, to make them dislike certain parts of society so much as to push against those that they dislike and disagree with.

So that means if anyone wants to stand about thirty yards to the side of these... well I suppose calling them people is a stretch, but nothing appropriate comes to mind.. so if anyone one wants to stand near the vicinity of this massive inconvienence holding signs with arrows poining in the general direction that say "do not feed the trolls, the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause hate them" that would be totally okay right? I would love to be in the front of that line, sadly I'm on the wrong coast.
