What the fuck is their major malfunction…?!
How could any reasonable, or even mildly unreasonable, person think that this was the right thing to do?! Who the fuck allowed these junior-grade, last-class, lowest-common-denominator, microcephalic, thundering SHITHOOKS to become religious leaders?!
Gaaah! I don’t have the vocabulary to express my rage and disgust. I just wish I could say I’m stunned… Too much of this unspeakably vile behavior has been floated about for me to be surprised anymore. I’m grateful that I can at least still be outraged by this kind of shit. The day I hear something like this and don’t shudder and burn, ois the day that I’m offically dead to the world.
Fortunately, the kid’s family reacted pronto to get these abusive FUCKS off the street, and get their child the appropriate medical care.
what got to me was that when they dropped him back w/his parents, the account I read said they told the parents that the child needed ‘further punishment’.
Personally, I’d like to see everyone who was able to see or hear what was happening to be facing attempted murder, assault, child abuse and child endangerment charges.
I’m shocked they didn’t have to pry the kid’s parents away from the pastor’s corpse.
Yeah, that “further punnishment” bit got me, too… These CRIMINAL FUCKS obviously didn’t get that they’d just commited a heinous crime. They though they were doing “right”. How does someone so FUCKING STUPID get put in charge of a church…?!
The sad thing is, Texas has more than its fair share of religious loonies, some of whom were known to be abusive to kids (Brother Lester Roloff comes to mind).
At least these yahoos will be held accountable for their actions.
It wasn’t a pastor that beat him, it was his Bible Studies teacher and his brother. They’re both 23. He drove the kid from the “school”, TO HIS HOUSE, and beat him there. Suposedly, he was cheating on a Bible test. They then dropped him off at home and told the parents to discipline him further.
Niether brother has accepted guilt, and their lawyer is claiming it’s all “a missunderstanding” and that the “police didn’t get all the fact right.”
What? He forgot to tell the police they were kicking him while he was bleeding on the floor? GHAH!!! Both these guys should get locked away for LIFE and each put into a cell with very angry men who are both pissed off at being kept away from their sons (I’m talking loving fathers here, not child abusers. You know, the kind of hard made criminal that would rip a child molester to shreds). After listening to their lawyer talk, I feel he should get the same fucking treatment.
This beating had nothing to do with religion, the Bible or anyone’s spiritual beliefs. Oh, the perps may pay lip service to such, but in truth this beating was about abuse of authority. That the authority in question was religious (certainly not Christian in action) is of no consequence.
This is similar to when a schoolteacher mistreats a student, or when a sports coach molests one of his players. Trusted adult acts out, in a barbarically inappropriate manner, on an innocent child. Neither public schools, team sports, nor religion are to blame.
This is the same condition that causes the police to brutalize a suspect that ran: “How DARE they disrespect ME? It’s time for a LESSON!”
This unfortunate kid acted like an 11 year-old, and these two scum-smoking assholes took it personally. So personally, that they decided a 90 minute beating was only marginal punishment, as if they had some higher right to respect than anyone else. It wasn’t about religion, per se, it was about bloated egos and stupidity and loss of control and poorly trained, almost-kids being put in charge of actual kids, and a bloated belief that because they were religious leaders, they were somehow special priviledge: “How DARE this kid disrespect the Pastor?! It’s time for a LESSON!”
El Elvis Rojo, unless you’ve got another source of info, you’re mistaken. The linked article clearly calls the abuser out as a Pastor, and clearly states that the boy was brutalized in a private home other than his own, but does not state that the location of the beating was the home of either defendant. Do you have some other source of info…? A link, please, if you do.
Homebrew, there’s an enormous gulf between corporal punishment and this atrocity. I personally fnd corporal punishment highly distasteful, but not to the point where I’m going to say that it is impermissable. THIS event, though…
