NFL star JJ Watt to pay for funerals of Waukesha parade victims

NFL star JJ Watt, a Wisconsin native, says he’ll pick up the costs of funerals for the six victims of Sunday’s tragic Christmas parade attack.

The Arizona Cardinals defensive end, a Waukesha native who graduated from Peewauken High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, made the announcement through local media this week, Fox News said.

“JJ Watt is covering the funeral costs for everyone that lost their life in the Waukesha Christmas Parade,” journalist and author Cory Jennerjohn wrote on Twitter.

And the day before thanksgiving. Great Americans in our country for sure. Yes we have a few bad apples but the good like this guy are overwhelmingly more in numbers.

I hope they offered assistance to the victims that Rittenhouse killed too. Just sayin.
