Peaceful protests are a good opportunity to exercise your freedom of speech, a time when you can take to the streets and make your voice heard while surrounded by people with similar opinions and grievances. But as you can see from this hilarious list compiled by Bored Panda, freedom of speech applies to everybody, and some people use their freedom to mercilessly troll protesters who have alternative (and often ridiculous) views on things. Scroll down to see some of the funniest anti-protest protest signs we could find, and don't forget to vote for your favorite!

Pro-Life VS. Pro-Choice
I passed these anti-abortion protestors (who obviously had nothing better to do) with their signs outside a clinic on my way to work. There were a few guys there with "BRING BACK CRYSTAL PEPSI" signs right next to them....I nearly wrecked laughing so hard....
Even though I'm pro-choice and mostly liberal on social issues; this is one I still struggle with. I don't think the protesters are coming from a place of hate as the others are. It's not really a religious issue, or democrat vs republican. As an atheist I can easily see the moral dilemma, there is no denying that the fetus will become life if given the opportunity. Regardless when you believe life begins, it certainly is ending an opportunity for life. I also understand the many cases where abortion may be the best option for the mother. Like I said it's a struggle, but to paint those who oppose abortion with the same brush as the Westburo baptist church is just wrong.
I have never had an abortion and dont believe that i ever would, I even have a friend that was raped and decided to keep the baby. But I still dont believe that others should have the right to decide for someone else what is right for them. I do think that there should be time limits on when they can be performed but will never believe a man should have the right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body.
Load More Replies...Please use birth control, Please protect yourselves from STD's, they're real..... And please consider adoption or giving the baby away if it was an accidental pregnancy. People like me wouldn't be here today had the mother decided to abort. I AM A HUMAN TOO and I deserve to live just as much as any other "planned" pregnancy
I am adopted so this really hits home with me.....
Load More Replies...Yeah the last time I checked the baby wasnt the one who chose to be pregnant...
@idil The bacteria's aren't capable of becoming a human being like you, but the helpless child is
Load More Replies...When a man develops the ability to get pregnant, then he will have a say in how women make the choice to abort or not.
I love the old man trolling her, LOL! Pretty easy to make life and death decisions for other people! She might view it differently if she was the one on death row.
Sorry but abortion is freaking evil. The child has great potential. you could have killed the next big thing, you satanic jerk! Choose to put them up for adoption. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand here come the downvotes.
I am sorry but unless I wanted to be, if I became pregnant I would abort the child. I do not want to go through childbirth or pregnancy. It's my body, my choice. The baby is barely developed, it doesn't know it's being aborted.
Load More Replies...It’s easy being pro-life when you are not the one being pregnant. -> It’s easy to be pro-choice when you are not the one being KILLED!
The old guy rocks. He made the best point. Being killed is much worse than being pregnant!
Load More Replies...So if you rob a bank should you be able to just say I don't want to go to jail and walk away? You did the action, take responsibility for what you've done. Another point I'd like to make, if life doesn't start until birth, why do you get charged with 2 counts of murder for killing a pregnant woman, but if she wants to kill that baby, no problem, have it? Assisted suicide is against the law for termanally ill people, but killing a baby is okay? If you don't want a baby, stop having sex.....
Stop having sex.. why dont yu tell men the same dialogues?? And why dont yu punish the sperm fr it.. when it is the body of the woman let the woman decide whether she wants the baby or not! When yu force her to carry all the while, do yu think she will raise it.. NO HELL NO.. she will throw it in bin or drainage.. have fun with it then!
Load More Replies...So, if abortion should be illegal, because people "chose to make the baby" when they had sex.. Would you also want the morning-after-pill illegal..? Because these people too chose to (maybe) make a baby. How many days after a (possible) conception before it would be murder in your book? Just curious.
It always surprises me that across regions and cultures, people (both male and female) who have the least chance of "getting some" regularly, are usually the ones talking loudest about interfering in others' private lives. It is the same way all politicians talk about how great their country's military is and how most of them have never served or have anyone ever served in a war. Then they go on to ensuring the soldiers do not have decent vests, food, winter clothes or weapons.
The pro-choice sign is irrelevant. I was a teenaged mother, I chose to be a mother, even though doing so was the more difficult choice. I have no regrets, my daughter now has her own daughter. She grew up to be an awesome human and parent. Sometimes taking the hard way is more rewarding later on. I cannot judge anyone else on their choices, but I am definitely pro-parenthood. That’s my personal life choice, so her pro-abortion stance is wrong. Not all women treat pregnancy as a social stigma, or an inconvenience, or a sexually-transmitted disease to be “cured”. We have more than enough sexual education and contraceptive technology available today to prevent any necessity for abortion, for the most part; women didn’t always have that choice. Abortion is a symptom of serious problems with our human societies, not with contraception.
Actually, the guy has a way better point than her. I first thought he is trolling her.
*you think* he has a much better point than she does. Talking in absolutes is rarely a good idea.
Load More Replies...IF GOD OR NATURE CAN DO MISCARRIAGE WHY CAN'T THE WOMAN DO ABORTION ?
Because miscarriages are a scientific problem, an abortion is you killing another human being
Load More Replies...Wouldn't call it murder plus there are far worse things going on that are worth the protests...worrying about an unborn life when there are people who are alive suffering should not be priority not only that but let people do what they think is best
Load More Replies...And it's so hard to realize that protection isn't 100% effective.
Load More Replies...Sometimes it is not choice... It can be result of rape or some unfortunate circumstances . It can happen. There should be legal choice what to do.

I just love the religious idiots with their "God hates" signs. When did God give you the right to speak for him? And doesn't God say he will be the judge, not man? Those people are one of the reasons I believe organized religion to be wrong and evil. Believe in what you believe in, but don't force your belief on others.
I fully agree. They preach that Jesus loves everyone and that he told his followers to do so. SO how do they get off saying God hates homosexuals ...where / when did Jesus say this ? They also believe that God created everything and everyone ... So therefore he must have created some people gay...why would he then hate them? I also believe that fundamental religious groups of any denomination to be very dangerous ... and very very wrong. Live and let live and do as you would be done by are very true axioms.
Load More Replies...its amazing that people who hate something so much based on a book thats been rewritten hundreds of times choose to spend their time and money protesting things that have nothing to do with them or that affect their lives.
I'll never forget when the Foo Fighters rickrolled Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas City in 2015 - LIVE, from the back of a truck, in the middle of a street and in broad daylight. It was EPIC!
Westboro Baptist Church came to the city I was living in at the time (Tulsa) to protest a gay pride picnic/parade (the first in several years). I got across from them and set up two signs - God Is Love and Fred Phelps Is a Wanker. A guy gave me the stink eye, set down his sign, and got directly across from me to wait for traffic to ease so he could cross. At that time in my life, I went to the gym religious, and I was in a muscle shirt and shorts. He got a better look at me, went back to the crowd, got a buddy, and came back to wait for traffic. I stared straight at them, smiled, and lit three torches without breaking eye contact, and began to juggle. Seeing as I was not only bigger than they were but also had "weapons," they looked at each other, said a few things, and went back to pick up their signs. I've always wondered if they meant to do me harm since they're not like that - preferring to make themselves targets instead so they can file lawsuits (a lot of them are lawyers).
Disagree with someone's stance? Fine, no problem. Hate them for it? Then you've lost my support, even if I may agree with some of your argument. Unfortunately, hate can be the squeaky wheel and appeals to some people to draw them in, possibly because they are looking for community.
I can't believe such stupid protests are made when there are bigger problems to solve.
Its relative. To a tiny mind, a small matter is a big issue.

Praise be to Hesus that I live in Australia and we don't have ANYTHING like the Westboro Baptist Church here. The freaky religious folk are few and far between and don't protest such hatred. They hang out at abortion clinics but laws were passed they have to keep a certain distance from the front entrance...like a long, long, long way away.
They do sneak into parliament though. Tony Abbott, Barnardi, rev Fred Nile and a few others are god fearing christians (by their own words). Don't you remember the Gay marriage debate?

Those were great, but like I said, I fear for the trolls' lives. They could get beaten up and end up in the hospital!
I wanna go to a protest carrying a sign that says "Citation needed" and "Anyone for Scrabble later?" XKCD, anyone?
While I am a Christian, I do support gay marriage 100%. The bible says that God loves everyone. God hates NO ONE. And those people with signs saying things like "f*gs" are terrible people. To those people, you know what else God opposes? The use of hateful language or "slander" is opposed right in Ephesians 4:31-32. And also, if you are ever facing prejudice because of your sexuality, while I may be Christian, I am here for you 100%!
As someone who has a great relationship with Jesus and reads my bible consistently, i cant seem to find the part where Jesus says he hates gay people.... I love it when people cherry pick Lavitical law and leave out everything else that they themselves would be put to death for. You see, we all sin every day. No sin is worse than any other. It's not our job to judge anyones salvation. God loves all of us the same. We will all have to answer for what we have done. People get so blinded by hatred because of a few morons. Listen up gay people JESUS LOVES YOU AND I LOVE YOU. because that is what being a Christian is about......
Who even cares about their stupid opinions any way? ...I think Ben Affleck sux at being batman.....does any one cares? No! exactly
so when the west bureau baptist church decided the protest across the street from my high-school all the student decided to go to school that day in tie-die shirts.
A couple of these I'm not sure which protesters are being trolled

This was funny at first then it got kinda depressing. All those judgmental people demanding I think like them.
There should be a protest tax. Want to protest great... It will cost you ten hours of volunteering at a homeless shelter or fostering kids and pets. You can have the right to free speech, paid for by your own good actions. Use all this free time to protest or anti protest constructively. Help your fellow man regardless of political views cause we are all just meat sacks flying through the universe until our inevitable death.
