This seems to be the first occasion, though, on which the Westburros are trying to do something even slightly helpful. You know these chickens never turn up at “gay pride” marches and the like, and only bug soldiers who by a vast majority abhorred homosexuality while they were alive. At least the Westburros are protesting this man who actually turned a blind eye to egregious homosexual sexual abuse, though his fate with God might be a question up in the air (if he got right with Christ, this highly damaging sin was not the unforgivable sin).
Joe Paterno was fired from his job but it is not clearly known or yet to be proven in court exactly what he knew, when he knew it and what exactly he did or didn’t do about it. So far we only have media reports, some of which I take with a grain of salt because I take nearly everything the MSM says now days.
Am I a Joe Pa fan or supporter? No. Not at all. But even if Paterno was complicit in a cover up, what good does having these freaks show up at his funeral going to do? It’s not helpful by any stretch of the imagination. If anything it will garner more support for Paterno. And even if Paterno should have and could have done more, why does his family not deserve to bury their family member in peace and without the circus of the Westboro media whores.
These people (Westboro) are without conscience and nothing they do is for a good reason.
