I’m way behind the curve on this story, just finding it this morning. But from what I’ve seen on X and read on this thread, I want to commend this pastor for his restraint. He simply beat the shite out of this punk who had harassed him and his family for years, plus threatened to rape and murder his wife and daughter. He could have simply walked over and put a slug in his head. And IMO as a husband and father, would be justified in doing so.

He’s not the rants hero, you’re just emotionally invested in this story and acting like a bitch because someone from that church called the cops on you 20 years ago.

The only thing posters are supporting this guy Spell on is that if you threaten to rape and kill a man’s family, be prepared to defend yourself because hands will be thrown

Yeah, hopefully one that doesn't insinuate all of the excuses that you just came up with for screaming and threatening your neighbor.


You are most definitely a pussy, most probably an anti-evangelical, but most of all, you are what is wrong with this country. Kid said horrific things to the pastor, then got grounded and pounded, and should have learned a valuable lesson... but you want to make excuses.

I defended cases like this one - legally, no self defense but the "victim" was someone who needed his arse whipped. Without exception, a jury always finds "not guilty."

This would be a perfect "he needed an arse whipping" case.

My adopted son, who had never entered a church in his life, attends this church. It has changed his life for the better- given him a community and acceptance. Not to mention introduced him to Jesus Christ. I’m Catholic so I don’t attend.


He has told me about this harassment. He’s told
Me it extends to random churchgoers. It’s an orchestrated campaign of harassment and intimidation.Say what you want about the legality of this- but I’m old school- a long overdue arse beating was administered- it made me smile-and hopefully if it continues- law enforcement will get these lunatics under control.

As an aside- I want everyone to understand- these people say the vilest things to women and children- as they go into worship. Legal formalism may give them the right to call black worshippers “ N*****”” or threaten to rape the women but the Man Code often rightfully trumps Man’s law. FAFO is a more ancient and time proven rule and it applies here.

I don’t have a dog in this fight. I find it odd that a family can scream at church people dropping N bombs and not a single person has this recorded. That church is large and they have a lot of money. I would think if they were constantly being harassed there would have been a camera pointed at the house.

I didn’t watch the recording of Spell beating the 20 yr old, but it seems unhinged to run across the road to beat someone especially for someone who preaches. Record him, call the police, file a restraining order was any of that done prior to this event?

If this has been going on since Covid how does Spell not have a bunch of recordings of the neighbors. Why no application for a PFA.

Was the FBI watching the church because of Covid? That needs to be addressed.

Screaming they are racists is a good way to season a jury for nullification in EBR. No proof is necessary if enough people repeat the allegations.

Will be interesting if there is audio of the kid screaming he is going to rape his wife kids grandkids dog and neighbors goldfish. Spell surely after 7 or so years of abuse would have been advised to record that families antics.

Well I can tell you that I heard about the verbal harassment PRIOR to the beatdown. And that literally hundreds of people have witnessed it- so I’d expect we will hear more of that in coming weeks. I’ve also heard of another black individual who frequently steals iPhones and things from the church that had a visit from church members. Sometimes- if law enforcement can’t or won’t do their job- individuals will act to protect themselves. I think the answer here is just that- increased law enforcement presence .

Exactly. What sort of man just ignores some unhinged idiot, who keep in mind has been harassing your family for years, when they threaten to rape and murder your wife and daughter?

Could he even call himself a man at that point?

This is my point. If all this was going on to the point that the only option left was to march across the street to fight I get it.

But, saying the Central Police Department hates me so I have no other option is a child’s excuse. There are a ton of other avenues that were and are available for the Church. There’s EBRSO, the AGs Office, orders of Protection through 19th JDC, media, hell the Pentecostal as a whole could take out an add campaign. But the easiest thing would be to record it. Where are the church recordings?

If you say that everyone in law enforcement hates you then you go public just like every other organization does. Don’t wait until you are posting bond for committing a felony to do it.

I would guess that Spell has and has had a lawyer since Covid. The church probably had one on retainer. I’m sure the national church has a team of them.

Spell isn’t some Joe blow pipe fitter who’s making ends meet and doesn’t have money or time to address things. Especially when you consider it’s been years. There are probably close to 1000 members there.

I’m not excusing the behavior of the neighbor, but just like other organizations. A spike of donations roll in when they claim to be wronged.

Good luck in jail if someone says this to you and you attack them. This defense won’t fly if it’s just words.

Again, just like the blacks. They think mere words allow them to be violent.

Anyone who approves of the preachers actions is on the level of culture thinking.


You seem confused. I never said the preacher was "right", I'm saying I understand his reaction.

I think any red-blooded American man would want to do something similar to someone who was threatening to rape/kill his family.

If it’s just words, then do you really want to live in a society that condones violence just for words? That’s exactly what blacks do and everyone here calls them animals with fascinating behavior. Blacks get disrespected and start shooting. Unless this preacher and those like him get charged and convicted for attacking someone for mere words, society is no better off than what occurs in the ghettos.

And if you want the preacher to be let off, where’s the line for words?

It depends on if I'd perceive it as just words or as an actual threat. A lot of folks like yourself have written things off as "just words", then the threat is carried out, and they're on the news talking about they didn't think it'd actually happen.

Again, there's a big difference in feeling like someone disrespected you and in someone actually threatening the wellbeing of your family.

Threatening to rape and murder someone goes beyond saying mean things.

The preacher isn't going to be let off because of some of the extracurricular activity at the end of the fight.

But if we're being honest, the 20-year-old is the one who took this from "just words" to a physical altercation.

There's a witness that live next door the Methodist church up the road that has been hese agitators have been going on saying the same stuff to. And harassed. This classic case fafo. I don't think this is assault if the guy felt threatened. If somebody says the rape and kills your family that's a threat.

If words shouldn’t matter, as you are insinuating, then why does one get a visit when from Secret Service when they say/post something about wanting to kill the President? The 30-year said he was to rape and kill the man’s wife (allegedly).

Threatening someone with rape and murder are on a whole other level than simply calling someone a name that they don’t like as you’re referring to. Hell, you can be charged for a hate crime for calling someone the N word is some places.

All words are not equal in other words. Either you're arguing just to argue or have no common sense….
