I just found out the phony “preacher” and serial child abuser Tony Alamo recently died in prison.

Tony Alamo, a one-time street preacher whose apocalyptic ministry grew into a multimillion-dollar network of businesses and property before he was convicted in Arkansas of sexually abusing young girls he considered his wives, has died in prison. He was 82. …
The disgraced preacher was convicted in 2009 on charges that he took underage girls across state lines for sex, including a 9-year-old. The judge who sentenced him to the maximum 175 years in prison told him: “One day you will face a higher and a greater judge than me. May he have mercy on your soul.” …
Witnesses in the ensuing trial said Alamo made all key decisions in the compound: who got married, what children were taught in school, who received clothes, who was allowed to eat. They said he began taking multiple wives in the early 1990s, including a 15-year-old girl in 1994, followed by increasingly younger girls.
Alamo was convicted after five women testified they were “married” to him in secret ceremonies at his compound when they were minors — including one when she was only 8 years old — and later taken to places outside Arkansas for sex.
“There’s no telling how many little girls’ lives he destroyed,” …
Alamo also was accused in 1991 of child abuse after an 11-year-old boy told police he was paddled 140 times by four men on orders from Alamo in 1988 at the church’s compound in Saugus, California. …
Burn in hell forever, you scumbag.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I was keeping the piece of shit alive in my death pool a couple years ago. Removed him and bingo.
I have the power of good.
In his case, I regret the absence of heaven or hell in my beliefs because he should be dancing in flames for eternity.
I just came in to say “Yeah, screw that fuckin’ tiger!”
I’d never heard of this. But I’ll remember the Alamo.
What was the point in taking an 9 year old across state lines for sex? It’s not going to be legal anywhere (I hope).
It makes it a federal crime.
Of course. It’s just the wording from the quote: “charges that he took underage girls across state lines for sex” made it sound like it was some sort of strategic decision.

No, it’s just the official name of the action he was accused.
It’s people like him, that make me WANT hell to exist.
So if you want to boff children, Arkansas is not the place to do it.
