That's awesome that those ****ing **** buckets got blocked from getting down there.

And not to piss on the happy parade, but....
Spoiler!

Misread the post. Somehow got the impression that the truckers screwed with the wbc folks vehicles and not their own. And, yeah, diesel engines have glowplugs but not sparkplugs. I should've caught that. Duh!

It's kind of interesting seeing all the rumors on Twitter. No one really knows for sure what happened with WBC, but the truckers story seems to be popping up quite a bit. Also stories seem to be common that one single protestor made it into town, but the crowd chased them off.

I'll post a few things I see just because I think it's interesting. Keep in mind that these are Twitter posts, so a healthy dose of skepticism is probably warranted.

Steve Drain of Westboro Baptist Church is in police custody in Joplin for swinging at a truck driver and starting a fight at the Flying J Truck Stop. Mess with the bull, get the horns!

Well, I'll admit this sounds at least a little more violent than I expected:

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church scheduled a protest in Joplin, Mo., Sunday. One protestor arrived around 12:15 p.m. and was accosted by counter protestors. Police escorted the Westboro member to safety and used tear gas to control the crowd.

I've heard truckers around Asbury and bikers were reinforcing at Stones Corner.

**** that shit. The Joplin police department has MUCH more pressing needs than attending protests. They should butt the **** out of that shit right now. This isn't some random funeral. This is mass mayhem going on everywhere. This is the time that WBC deserves exactly what it gets.

Apparently the guys at the truck stop who were blocked in weren't WBC...

@heycameraman Tell the truckers those poor people at the Flying J are not with WBC, so they would like to leave now. (hee, hee)

This is the guy who was apparently arrested for swinging at the truckers at the flying J.

But he is still tweeting... some people think someone else is using his account and that he did go to jail.

That would be cool. If he goes to jail, hopefully he gets raped.

Yeah, I should have caught that too but wasn't sure how much truth there was in what I heard.

I'm actually posting from my truck and I personally ran over 3 WBC members. Their entrails are mixed with diesel fuel and kitty litter under my tires. I've been offered a key to the city Joplin but really, what use is that now?

I shouldn't have, but I laughed. I'll rep this comment for 100 million in casino cash.

If WBC was truly ran out of town, good for them! People shouldn't have to put up with their shit in times of crisis

I keep hunting for credible sources about what happened, but it's tough to find. My guess about what SEEMS credible is that most of them never made it to Joplin due to the whole truck driver boxing them in thing. One guy seems to have made it there (probably arriving separately), but the crowd was having none of it, and he was quickly escorted away by the cops.
