Westboro are horrible, vile, evil people. They are very well-known and notorious in the U.S. and are so hated that even people who otherwise have bad reputations and are generally not well liked in society keep their distance from this group. They protests funeral sometimes, but make a lot more claims that they are going to protest something than what they actually do. We've become pretty effective in the U.S at having people ready when they make a claim like this and if they show up have these volunteers form human walls between them and those attending a funeral.
