With the protections of the U.S. Constitution as a context for either of the two groups upon which you focus, the Westboro protestors are the ones who choose to deliberately IGNORE the rights of others and who routinely violate the principle of rational moderation: "We each have rights so long as those rights do not infringe upon the rights of others." These freaky far-FAR-rightwing extremists violate the First Amendment and refuse to consider the idea that the U.S. is NOT a so-called "Christian" nation---especially not the Westboro version of intolerant, judgmental, hate-spewing brand. Because of this intolerance, the deceived fanatical biblical-literalist Westboro haters would be both more prone to sanctimoniously hypocritical violence and the inciters of violence to peddle their hate-based ideations.
All of America should be participating in the "Black Lives Matter" movement, because there has for far too long been a deep-rooted underlying prejudice against young black males that has to be corrected. These demonstrators span the globe and are an expression of the freedoms granted in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. There are a few misguided participants (some of them actually paid to create mayhem, as one embedded reporter discovered in Ferguson---paid by pro-police forces who sought to poison any potential jury pool should the killer-cop Darren Wilson be brought to trial as he most certainly should have been). These demonstrators are not driven by hate nor are the vast majority of the demonstrators violent. If my health was better, I would be physically joining them, but for now I can only lend verbal support to their cause---a call for EQUALITY for all Americans. As a military veteran, I am in agreement with the "Black Lives Matter" and "Hands Up---Do Not Shoot" movements.

westboro is more offensive because people expect better from "Christians" and black lives matters are just reinforcing the stereotype. the general public probably cares less about black lives rather than more after protesters act like ignorant fools.
if there is a hell. westboro members will have a harder time keeping out because they have perverted the teachings of Jesus and no way are they really Christians.

Westboro by a long shot. I find it interesting that you think "Black Lives Matter" is hate speech. Perhaps if you could stop focusing on the ones the MSM finds gets them higher ratings, you would see that the vast majority of them are normal people without a violent bone in their body.

West Boro members are just mean-spirited and seek to do nothing more than violate the feelings of people who have suffered a great loss. The blacks demonstrating have at least a modicum of truth as a foundation for their actions.
