Picket Sign-Making | Louis Theroux | BBC Studios

[@TopDog69]

I think that "newsflash, brainiac" bit might be the most directly confrontational I've ever seen Louis being in any of these haha.

[@forrest225]

I was just thinking the same thing. I've been going through watching a bunch of his stuff. That's definitely the most I've seen him confront someone. Usually he just asks hard questions.

[@jkar1747]

forrest225 And even when he asks hard questions its quite like a slap in the face confrontation.

[@noone-jw7nd]

I think he's kinder with the family because he understands how brainwashed they are and how they are raised from birth to accept this. This guy is just an arrogant douche and was looking for a chance to feel superior. He consciously chose this for himself and his children.

Crazy to think. That means Louis has more respect for the murderers he interviews compared to people saying "mean words"

[@melvert33]

​@brucej.willson4764 I don't think it means he respects murderers, that's a very tenuous link. Also these people are doing a lot more than "mean words" they turn up to strangers funerals and picket them with their offensive signs. Imagine they did it at one of your relatives funeral.

[@brucej.willson4764]

@melvert33 Actually, they came to my high school during the winter season of 2010. So picketing a funeral is now equivalent to rape & murder? Seriously!? If we are gonna bring them down for that, we also need to bring down the internet for making "Memes" and mocking the deaths of celebrities.

He got off on the power, and control he had in this group, and I think his ultimate goal was to take Fred Phelps position when he died, because of his drive for power. You can see it in his eyes the sickness he is under. I don't know exactly why they kicked him out yet, but I do know that they also exonerated Fred Phelps as well right before he passed away as he started to get soft before he died, and started being nice to the neighbors who ran the Equality House and they did not like that, so they ultimately got rid of him too. It is a crazy, heartbreaking story, and it's great that they no longer have the power they once had.
