Pastor/ Castle Doctrine/ AIDS

[Grammar Rules]

Rick may be right about re-organizing the Forum topics. Or maybe the world is becoming more complex. Do you ever find yourself asking, "What category is this story?"

Talk about the guest who won't leave, standing his ground, and passing on the gift that keeps on giving. The pastor has AIDS, recently disclosed. He's also discovered to have been sleeping with some of the women of the Missionary Baptist Church. The congregation has fired him (ya think????) but he won't leave, threatening "castle law" if they try to force him out.

Seriously: is this a Religion topic? Gun talk? I opted for Health, since it's more likely that someone will die of AIDS than a bullet in this case, but wow.

This would belong under a "Degenerates on Parade" topic.

Calling this guy a pastor is like calling Obabma a conservative.

End up in court? Doubt he would even show up in court.
Just raid the church and forcibly remove him. If he resists shoot his a$$.

Considering the mess "raids" have caused lately, and the likelyhood of damage to the building,
I would suggest a siege. Turn off all the utilities, including water,
and no one goes in or out, until he surrenders.
By the fourth day, I think he would be a bit more pliable.

[CenTexDave]

Good point.
If it was a mosque I'd recommend a MOAB. :)

[Mestral]

Good point.
If it was a mosque I'd recommend a MOAB. :)Common Dave,
Tell us how you really feel :)

This was not a "raid." They came to the door to serve a warrant and the perp opened fire.

MIDLAND, TX, (Local Big 2 News) - Law enforcement officials around West Texas grieve, following the death of one of their own on Thursday. Wednesday afternoon Dan Williams Higgins, was a wanted man, accused of aggravated sexual assault of child. Now he's facing a list of other charges, including capital murder for the death of a Midland County Sheriff Deputy. Numerous law enforcement agencies with dozens of vehicles responded shortly after 2 P.M. Thursday to a report of an officer down. At the time, Deputy Sheriff Michael Joe Naylor was serving an arrest warrant in Midland in the 3800 block of North County Road 1248.

"Officers went out, made contact with the individual in the house, talked to him, tried to get him to come out," said Midland County Sheriff Painter.

Then the situation went horribly wrong.

"There was an exchange of gunfire, alot of shots were fired, but the intial shot came as a surprise," he said.

It was a shot ending in tragedy.

"He shot the Deputy Sheriff Michael Joe Naylor in the head," said Painter.

Happened Thursday I believe.
Another nut job takes the life of a good man.

I must have missed it but I can't find where mac said it was a raid.

[Grammar Rules]

He didn't. Mestral did. Then mac posted the story about the West Texas deputy in response to Mestral's mention of a raid. This descends from our previous discussions of no-knock warrants and such.

OK. Sorry to hear that. However, what does that have to do with a "pastor" in Alabama?
