Punk ProtestAlternative Press is reporting that members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church protested outside Less Than Jake‘s show Pensacola, Florida on April 16th. This isn’t the first time the Topeka, Kansas-based organization picketed a show as they also protested an All Time Low show in Philadelphia in late 2009; although they normally go for more media-frenzied protests such as threatening to to picket at the funeral of Christina Taylor Green, the nine-year-old victim killed during the January shooting spree in Arizona.

Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello tweeted: “Why would Westboro Baptist Church protest a Less Than Jake show? #3out5membersloveanalandtheother2lovesatan.” He told Altpress that the picketers were protesting “adulterers, womanizers and blasphemers.”

The church picket schedule says members plan to picket at a Florida high school on April 22nd “to remind this nation that these high school students act like hellbound beasts because they have been raised to believe God is a liar.”
