A 27-year-old man from San Dimas has been arrested after vandalizing a church in Newport Beach, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

The incident occurred Saturday morning at the United Methodist Christ Church by the Sea.

Video footage from the church, built in the 1930’s, shows windows boarded up after the 27-year-old allegedly shattered stained glass windows that were given as gift to the church many years ago.

Officials at Christ Church by the Sea estimate that the vandal caused $80,000-$100,000 worth of damage.

So far, police have not identified the 27-year-old man or said why he wanted to cause so much damage to the church. Authorities also believe the man has no connection to the church. He was booked into the Orange County Jail

It’s probably just another pro infanticide thug, commie or satanist (I’m just repeating myself, I know) who despises God and His rules.

Most of the UMC is made up of apostates.

Until Adult-Babies stop getting away with acting out so long as the target is Christian, White or conservative, this will continue. He needs the book thrown at him, good and hard!

One of the goals of the Soviet Communists was to either infiltrate Christianity or destroy it. The Soviet Union may be gone but its goal is closer than ever!

Can you explain to us the relevance of such a comment?

I am guessing UMC = United Methodist Church, such as the one that was vandalized. Perhaps the poster is saying maybe the young thug is actually a former Methodist, now in a state of doubt and disbelief, now having fallen from grace.
I could be wrong.

It does seem like an unusual observation.

We have a story about vandalism at a church, and someone says that there are apostates in that denomination. I am confused by what one has to do with the other, and hope he comes back to explain what he’s talking about.

Heck, he’s probably already free with no, or very low bail. If he shows up to court the judge will give him 60 days suspended sentence or less.

Law enforcement was a looming career shift for me, but no:

I’ve decided that I cannot willingly participate in a bureaucracy which simultaneously indulges in investigative malpractice while intentionally eroding Constitutional rights.

CW2 has been underway for years now and this is just one arm of it.

“or said why he wanted to cause so much damage to the church” is an asinine statement whose sole purpose is to gaslight the public. After all these church attacks...all the birth clinic attacks et al...if ‘they’ don’t know ‘why’ then it’s either incompetence, willful ignorance...or a lie.

Yep. Or a combination, underlain by a foundation of demonic kinship with the perpetrator. The Christian church is clearly under attack. What ought to be the response once all the possible cheeks have been turned?

Wanna stop this crap? These people should be shot. In public, and televised.

During the August, 2014 Ferguson riots over the justifiable death of the felon trying to kill the police officer, AG Eric Holder sent dozens of agents and investigators to delve into any possible past case of police involved brutality. Everything else was set aside. They asked small groups of citizens if they had seen patterns of white supremacy and asked leading questions to get a “yes.”*

When many churches are vandalized and some set on fire by arsonists, nothing was done for many months and then only in a timid way. The leftist anti-church criminals know they are okay with an anything goes DOJ.

That sounds about right, but he might also be a transgender.

He did it because he can. He will not be punished, nor pay for the windows.

Or, as was done in the days of old, hung, drawn/quartered. Followed by dragging quadrants of their bodies thru the streets. To the point, now, that I’d be OK with that.

My husband and I were married in this Church. It was lovely. I am so sad now.
