Oh, wonderful. Westboro Baptist is coming to protest at the Penn State football game on Saturday.
Is it wrong of me to hope they end up in the middle of a mob of drunk and angry football fans?
Seriously, though. This just gets worse and worse the more news that comes out. A life-long friend of mine teaches at Penn State, and he's just beyond appalled right now.
What exactly are the Westboro Baptist people for or against in this situation?

Can there be anyone left in that congregation who was simply looking for a church community?

If the campus police are sworn officers, they are real police, just working for a university rather than a city. I'd guess that a 911 call from campus would be routed to the campus police
This. I know at the U. of Alabama, the campus police are actually state troopers assigned to the university. The U is considered a state institution, so they get state troopers.
