Omaha, Nebraska — On Tuesday, the city of Omaha laid to rest Officer Kerrie Orozco after she was gunned down by a violent felon last week, and members from the infamous hate group, the Westboro Baptist Church, showed up to picket the ceremony. However, Omaha residents had a different plan in mind, and they ended up sticking it to the crazed demonstrators in the best way possible.

As Mad World News previously reported, Officer Orozco, 29, was attempting to serve a felony arrest warrant for 26-year-old Marcus Wheeler on May 20 when the violent thug pulled out a pistol and started shooting. Officers returned fire, killing Wheeler, but they also lost one of their own in the incident. Sadly, she died the day before she was supposed to go on maternity leave to care for her newborn daughter.

News of Officer Orozco’s death sent shockwaves through the Omaha community, and on Tuesday, hundreds of supporters showed up for her funeral. Unfortunately, so did about a dozen members from the widely loathed Westboro Church, who are known for protesting military and law enforcement funerals, but Omaha residents weren’t about to tolerate them, according to Omaha.com.

As members from the hate group convened on a corner near Interstate 480, community members numbering in the hundreds, accompanied by members of the Patriot Guard, lined up in front of them with large white sheets bearing a blue line across them, and it was all for one purpose – to block the view of the church members from mourners riding in the funeral procession.
The best part about their awesome show of solidarity was that the entire community had a hand in making the sheets, with about 1,000 people total signing up to participate on a Facebook page created for the event.

“Everybody just came together,” said Kate Kielion, 33, whose father is a retired captain with the Omaha Police. “Everybody wanted to help. Our purpose was to hide the hate and show the love, and that’s what happened.”
When community members caught wind that the church group would be showing up to picket, they sought out others to shut them down. Josh Swafford, a 26-year-old Omaha resident, said he wanted to do everything in his power to shield the family from seeing the demonstrators.

“We’re all in this together,” said Swafford. “Everyone should be able to grieve in peace.”
Their efforts paid off big time. Before the funeral procession even made its way to where the Westboro members were demonstrating, the hate-filled protesters had left the area, leaving only those who were showing support for Orozco to line the streets.

“Without the community involvement, this would not have happened,” said Kielion. “It was all them.”

The people of Omaha should be proud of themselves. Not only did they shut down the idiots of the Westboro Church, but they paid their respects to Officer Orozco and her family in a truly epic fashion. While nothing is going to bring her back, at least her family knows they have the full support of the community, and that alone has to be a great comfort, which is exactly what her friends and family need right now.

Thoughts?

I'm glad they did that, pulling together and showing strength like that. That group of so called religious people disgust me to no end. How and where they choose to protest .. Ugh. They make me angry. Lol

Way to go, Omaha! Although nothing will bring this mother back, it’s great to know that light and good that’s in the hearts of most Americans, will always outshine the evil actions of the Westboro Baptist Church members. Those people are the ones going to hell and shame on them for having children there!
