Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber was in Kansas City Wednesday night for a concert, which only means one thing -- the controversial Westboro Baptist Church decided to show up and stage a protest. What problem could this group possibly have with Bieber? Here's what they claim in a statement:
"Justin Bieber has a platform given to him by God to speak to this world... but he refuses to do that because he knows his concert halls would be empty!"
Really, though, it appears that this church is just more interested in having a platform to fire off their message of hate. They recently protested concerts both for Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga, which led to both singers reminding their fans of what really matters -- love.
A local Kansas City TV affiliate captured the scene outside the concert, which had some parents thankfully firing back at the church for protesting the concert of a 16-year old kid with a positive message.
What should be done to stop these protests?
