Pistol-packing Pastor Update

ArmsMerchant · #1 2003-09-26, 07:08

Regulars will remember this--two pathetic fucks broke into a church at night looking for food--the place was used as a food bank and had nothing of value in it. There WAS, however, a baby monitor that the wily pastor was using as a security system.

Instead of just calling the cops, the pastor got up, crossed the road (the church was a good ways from his home), hunted the guys down and shot them dead with a .44 magnum.

The pastor claimed self-defense, swore the guys were coming at him. WRONG, communion-breath--the medical examiner's rwport said the dudes were both SHOT IN THE BACK.

I bring this up because the perp's trial starts this week.

Opinions?

...it was dark and they were trespassing. Even if he shot them while fleeing- good. What kind of lowlife robs a church?

I have a feeling if it was some weirdo wiccan druid loser who ran over there with a magnum in one hand and a stupid rock tied to a stick in the other, and he killed some skinheads who broke into his church, you wouldnt think twice about it.

And he was across the street. Even with awesome police response time, unless he lucked out and there was a patrol around the corner at the time, the guys could have taken what they wanted and been on their way. And even if the cops were sitting out front chatting with the guy- its his fuckin church. If a guy broke into my house while i was across the street, damn straight Id follow him in.

An empty church is just another empty building.

What kind of lowlife? One who was fucked up n drugs, for one thing. A lowlife who was unemployed and desperate, for another. I am not surprised at your lack of compassion. If there is any justice in this world--and there is not, I assure--someday, you will be so down on your luck as to try to steal food.

And actually, I do not approve of shooting people in the back, regardless of the religion or lack thereof on the part of shooter OR shootee.

Weeelll, I was going to put in my two cents, but....

Oh, and I forgot to mention that one of the guys was running away and the pastor emptied his gun at him, shooting through a window.

This is responsible gun use?

Yes. No one else will try and break into the Church anymore.

And are you saying he was on drugs as evidence that he is NOT a lowlife?

And compassion can eat my asshole, it is worthless and weak and feminine at best.

No, I'm saying that being on drugs may have made him a pathetic loser, which is not a capital offense in my book.

You're saying feminine is bad? So what are you, one of those real macho men who only fucks other macho men?

I remember the story from one of the last updates. What are they trying the preacher for? Murder? Who is going to be the Prosecutions star witness?

I believe the preacher was justified in what he did....because....if it were me, and there was someone in my shop stealing my pissy tools....then they are trespassing, thieving and common criminals. I don't believe it is okay to shoot some people and not others who are doing the same thing in different ways.

What is the biggest argument for fighting gun control? To protect our homes and families. Personally, I think you enjoy this dilemma because it is a preacher who supposedly shot two thieves. As I said before, the preacher is just a human - he isn't Jesus or Buddha or any deity that is worshipped as perfect.

It's hypocracy to think it is okay for you to shoot a thief, but not for another person to do the same.

I believe in vigilanteism. Works much better than our current justice system.
