The bishop who oversees the church trump went to said that neither she nor the rector were told trump was going to be using teargas to clear out peaceful protesters so that he could use the church as a prop. Someone would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to see that as the photo op it was. He abused his power AGAIN and hurt Americans for a fuckin' photo-op.
Why should LEO inform clergy of the methods they would employ to clear out people? Assembled persons were informed to clear the area on more than one occasion. They failed to comply.
Where is the outrage and condemnation from the bishop and the dioceses regarding the vandalism, to the church, done by protestors? Yes . . . protestors! That's how the rector of the church described the vandals.
"The fire that rioters set at St. John's Church Sunday night is out and the damage could have been "a lot worse," according to an email sent by Rev. Rob Fisher, rector of St. John’s, early Monday morning.
"I am happy to share with you that I could see no other real damage besides that one room, and quite a bit of graffiti and debris around the exterior of the church," Fisher said.
He added: "Protestors easily could have done a lot worse to our buildings, but they chose not to do that. (The damage I saw to other nearby buildings illustrated this point.)"
Wait? Were they rioters or protestors? Seems the rector might be a tad confused.
Can I get a *Thank-you, Jesus!*
Everyone is turning this shit show into a photo op . . . not just Trump.
What I didn't see was a prayer rally by the bishop for calm, peace, forgiveness and healing.
The church is a supposed sanctuary for all . . . all are to be welcomed. Except Trump and the First Lady.
What hypocrisy!
Keep your flock safe, bishop! Get and keep them the fuck out potential harm's way!
How about following George Floyd's brother's advice?
Take a breath, for fuck's sake and practice the teachings of Jesus.
