Leave it up to Westboro Baptist Church to picket the funeral of former Penn State Coach Joe Paterno.

STORY: Joe Paterno Dies At Age 85

Margie Phelps, one the main voices of the Kansas based church, announced on Twitter that the church would be picketing the funeral of 85-year-old Paterno, who died on Sunday from lung cancer.

Westboro has previously made it into the news for picketing the funerals of Apple founder Steve Jobs and Michael Jackson.

In the tweet Phelps said: “Penn State Penn Rape” rings in Joe Paterno’s ears in hell.

The church is well known for their extreme views opposing homosexuality. However, protesting someone’s funeral, regardless of your personal views, is just downright disrespectful.
