Yep...sick bullies of all kinds roaming around....aren't there. Militant politicians, preachers, news article columnists. People can't be too careful.

Took awhile to find his pic, but here he is...
Anthony Hopkins sits on the stand as he testifies during his trial in Circuit Judge John Lockett's courtroom at Mobile Government Plaza in Mobile, Ala., on Friday, April 9, 2010. The part-time south Alabama evangelist faces a murder charge in the death of his wife, a mother of 8 whose body had been stored in a freezer inside his home.

If only he had been allowed to be married he wouldn’t have killed his wife.

Yet a prosecutor told jurors that Anthony Hopkins terrorized his wife and young children, isolated them and used the Bible to manipulate them.
I always question statements like this.
Sorry, but there is always responsibility for those being manipulated unless they are as dumb as dirt.

Ok...here is a violent maniac and no one ever had any suspicion of anything? I don't buy that. Somebody outside had a clue through the years but chose to ignore it. Nobody is that good. There are always clues but people choose to ignore them. I'm surprised the rotten b*st*rd didn't get struck by lightening. But I would bet 1mil that what this maniac was preaching was not the true Word of God. The article conveniently leaves out any denominational references.

So he killed his wife in 2004 and wasn’t arrested until 2008?
How the hell does that happen? No one noticed she was missing???
