AUDIO: PASTOR SHOOTS ATTACKER MID-SERMON
The pastor of a Detroit storefront church fatally shot a man who was threatening him with a brick during an afternoon service on Sunday. Police said this was not the first run-in between the pastor and the victim: The man had been threatening the pastor with bodily harm. Police say the man walked into the service and went after the pastor with a brick. The pastor pulled out his Glock and fired several shots, hitting him 4 or 5 times, and the man died. The pastor was taken into custody for questioning, and the incident is “still under investigation.”
* Put your faith in God, but put your trust in your handgun.
* You can bet this is one congregation that pays attention to the sermon.
* I bet they really pay up when the collection plate comes around too.
* “In lieu of a cash donation, we will also accept gifts of ammunition.”
* Now that’s the Detroit I know and love.
* So much for the “turn the other cheek” part.
* “Sorry about the interruption, folks. Now, where was I? Oh, yes. ‘Love thy neighbor,’ sayeth the Lord …”
* Somewhere Sam Kinison is smiling. (Legend has it, he pulled out a gun in church and fired into the ceiling during his preaching days.)
* CLIP: Here’s some audio from the incident (the Samuel L. Jackson Bible speech from “Pulp Fiction”)
