Pastor Spell Can Do God's Work in Jail

Why are supposed "Christians" so filled with hate.  Pastor Tony Spell, of the Life Tabernacle Church near Baton Rouge was enraged by a single man protesting against the illegal assembly of his parishioners on Sunday.  In an act of Christian tolerance he drove the church's bus at Trey Bennett, the lone protester, stopping within a few feet of Bennett.  His Christ-like example apparently encouraged a parishioner to drive his pick-up at high speed to within one foot of Bennett.  

This Sunday, Spell drove a church bus in reverse in the direction of the sign-holding protester. Spell acknowledged as much in a telephone interview with WAFB-TV on Monday. He said he just wanted to get out and confront the protester, but his wife talked him out of it.

Parishioner Nathan Boyce Thomas also faces charges of aggravated assault and reckless operation of a vehicle after being seen on video driving his white pickup truck to within about a foot of where Bennett was standing at the road side. Police said Thomas drove at a high rate of speed, then braked just before turning into the church parking lot. Dougherty said Thomas also planned to turn himself in later Tuesday.

Videos of the two incidents on April 19 were obtained and reviewed by The Associated Press. One shows the church bus making a sharp turn and then backing in the opposite direction of traffic on the shoulder to within a few feet of Bennett before coming to a stop. Another shows a white pickup truck swerving out of its lane and onto the shoulder within about a foot of Bennett’s body.

Christian tolerance.
