But they’re an inspiring CHRISTIAN band! And…and…_ **Conservatives!** _ This is obviously some demonic plot to discredit and embarrass them and totally not yet another example of the endless hypocrisy of conservative heroes. ---

Don’t worry, he’s automatically forgiven because JESUS. ---

> [@G0sp3l](#): > > I had something about Kentucky and clans and it being inevitable and what-not but I ran out of creativity. Objection! This charmer isn’t from Kentucky, nor does he reside there. He was arrested in Kentucky because that’s where he was (to perform a concert) when the arrest warrant from Tennessee was issued. ---

> [@Human\_Action](#): > > He was arrested in Kentucky because that’s where he was (to perform a concert)… The link contradicts the [news release](https://tbinews.wordpress.com/2016/09/09/ashland-city-man-arrested-charged-in-ongoing-tbi-child-rape-case/) from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in that regard, which says they “arrested the 46-year-old in Greenville, Kentucky, where he travelled in an effort to avoid law enforcement”. ---

I’d settle for anything that doesn’t boil down to “watch these strange people so you can feel better about yourselves”. Hell, 20-year-old Animal Planet reruns would be an improvement!
