[Jeff Head]

So, a vacationing church group stops at a roadside place and this huge, probably drunk bastard approaches them and tells them he is going to "f" their women, and then assaults several people. He is asked repeatedly to stop, but he tells them he is still going to "F" with them all, and continues to assault members of the group.

Finally, after five are assaulted, the youth pastor grabs him around the waist and they both fall to the ground where the big brute hits his head. He stumbles away and goes unconscious.

Months later, he dies and they are charging the youth pastor with murder?

There are plenty of witnesses...but the moment of their falling to the ground is not on the surveillance video.

I hope this pastor prevails and sues the living daylights out of the prosecutors, the town, etc., etc.

From the reading, and the testimony of the people who were there...this is a travesty.

I think what jeffhead thinks.

[KC_Conspirator]

I agree with Jeff Head.

Hard to believe any jury will convict, but why is the jerk DA putting the pastor through this grief?

[TigersEye]

I think you’ve nailed it. Even if he did punch the guy, which isn’t believable, it was still self defense. I hope he owns Manteca when all is said and done.

The dead guy was probably politically connected.

Dude It sounded to me like he was drunk and wanted to F-— the pastor. Now maybe I misunderstood what the kids were saying but that was my take.
