You can run...
... but you'll just die broke. At least that's true for the officials of the Westboro Baptist "Church." As reported earlier, they lost a lawsuit brought by the father of a slain Marine whose funeral they picketed. Well now not even bankruptcy can prevent them from this righteous judgement:
A federal judge in Maryland on Thursday ordered liens on the Westboro Baptist Church building and the Phelps-Chartered Law office.
If the case presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett is upheld by an appeals court, the church, at 3701 S.W. 12th, and the office building, at 1414 S.W. Topeka Blvd., could be obtained by the court and sold, with the proceeds being applied toward $5 million in damages Bennett imposed on church members for picketing a military funeral.
