A Sunday night protest in Kansas City by the Westboro Baptist Church was interrupted when someone drove a car onto a sidewalk and into the group.<\/p>\n
None of the 12 protesters was injured. The female driver eluded police who were monitoring the protest when the incident occurred just after 7 p.m. near 18th and Oak streets.<\/p>\n
The Topeka-based group, known for its anti-gay stance and picketing at the funerals of U.S. soldiers, was protesting an event at the CrossroadsKC at Grinders venue, according to Kansas City police reports.<\/p>\n
The venue\u2019s website shows that the group Panic! At the Disco was performing there Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the show, the band said on social media that it would donate $20 to the Human Rights Campaign for each Westboro protester. The band later said it would round up to $1,000 and add a percentage of its merchandise sales.<\/p>\n
According to police reports, two officers saw a gold Mercury Sable drive onto the sidewalk and \u201cinto\u201d the group of protestors at the corner of 18th and Oak.<\/p>\n
The vehicle then headed west on 18th Street \u201cat a high rate of speed,\u201d police reported.<\/p>\n
The officers attempted to catch up but the Mercury eluded them and last was seen heading north on Broadway from 18th Street.<\/p>\n
Westboro group members did not want to prosecute or provide information to police. They continued to protest for about 10 minutes before departing, according to police.<\/p>\n
