Westboro Baptist says members will picket ‘Jackass’ star’s public service

    Funeral arrangements are in the works for MTV star Ryan Dunn. So are the arrangements to picket his service.

    Dunn, known for his role in the Jackass TV show and movies, died Monday in a fiery Chester County car crash.

    “WBC will picket any public memorial/funeral held for Dunn, warning all not to make a mock of sin, and to fear and obey God,” reads a release from the Kansas-based church.

    West Chester Police Chief Scott Bohn told the Pottstown Mercury authorities are ready for any protest WBC members may stage and acknowledged the group’s right to protest.
