Westboro Baptist Church members, best known for protesting military funerals, got more than they bargained for when they held an anti-military demonstration outside Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Seattle on Friday. A well-organized group of more than 300 zombies staged a counter-protest in support of the troops, grabbing the media spotlight so eagerly sought by WBC. You can watch a KIRO-TV report on the protest above.
The zombie demonstrators have now transformed into a Facebook group called "Zombie'ing for our Troops." Organizers hope their spirit of protest catches on around the country:
I have decided that the most violent free way to protest back is simple... a zombie apocalypse...
If they (the military) can stand before us against terrorists in other countries, the least we can do is stand in front of them against terrorists in America.
