"They're allowed to be within 500 feet so we'll be at 499".
That's the message from Jodi Hillman-Taylor of Mechanicsburg. She's organizing a blockade of love to stand united against the Westboro Baptist Church. The church says it plans to protest the funeral of 7 Perry County children who perished in Tuesday night's fire.
"They're going to protest saying God did this to parents the parents they deserve this," says Hillman-Taylor. "It astonishes me that people thinks this way."
The foul words fueled Hillman-Taylor to create a facebook group called Circle of Love.
The event is inviting people to wear white and meet at the Clouse children's funeral Tuesday to counter the cruel noise of the would-be protesters.
"We are creating angel wings for some of us and wear," add Hillman-Taylor. "Those wings will serve as sound barriers and everybody join arms, band together and stand guard."
Hillman-Taylor says she has received an army of support since she created the Circle of Love.
"I've had non stop responses," says Hillman-Taylor. "Responses from people I've never met just asking how do I do this?"
Like Hillman-Taylor, many of the facebook group members aren't directly affected by the fire, but their hearts have been torn a part by the threat of a Westboro protests.
