The Westboro Baptist Church is off to ruin another family’s final moments with their beloved.

Members of the Westboro congregation are planning to picket the funeral of late pop icon Michael Jackson, according to the group’s website. A recent update included the following statement:

“Michael Wacko Jacko Jackson is in hell! WBC will be there to remind you to stop worshiping the dead. We will be there to tell you to Thank God for the death of this filthy, adulterous, idolatrous, gender-confused, nationality-confused, unthankful brute beast. We will be there to remind you that God Killed Wacko Jacko.”

The controversial group is well known for picketing funerals of those who have died of HIV starting in the early 1990s, Matthew Shepard’s funeral in 1998, as well as the funerals for public figures and military personnel.

Staples Center was the space that Jackson was using to rehearse for his upcoming 50-show concert, which was to start on July 13 in London, according to MTV.

    This Westboro Baptist Church says they hate the Gay-Community.
    But, they also hate African Americans, Dr. & Mrs. King, Canada, Sweden, the
    Fire Department of N.Y., victims of 911, other Christian churches, the pope,
    Judaism, America, our American troops and the list goes on and on. Many of the
    groups they despise are specifically named on their hate propaganda, picket
    signs and their many websites. They not only hate, but wish death on all whom
    they abhor.

    This so-called “church” spreads its hate through picketing in
    our streets, provoking attacks, with abusive language and flag desecration,
    attempting to create a confrontation. This is not about protesting, this is
    about a life of hate. They are in it for the money and the press.  They are not a “church.” They go
    after any thing that can get them in the news. This group will protest anything
    to get its face on TV or in the news. This group is lost in the darkness of
    hate, and will put there children in danger to shield themselves.

    These people protest at the funerals of our troops. Do we have a
    real need to protest at any funeral? Is that a real freedom?

    The city of Topeka, the state of Kansas and the U.S. at large,
    its citizens and their churches, schools and events are all held hostage by
    this “hate group.”-always at the tax payer’s expense.
