Its always best, when you’re rearranging someones face, to end the hostilities with a couple of good kicks to the head.
A broken rib or two will make him miserable for a month or more...............
He cleaned his clock. Ouch ! A righteous beat down.
They didn’t even give the name of the 20 year old.
Seriously? This is what we are supposed to do, fight against evil and protect your family. I read the Pastor’s quote, something to the effect-I followed scripture today and laid hand’s on the sick. I would attend his church with great enthusiasm.
Why is that not a good example?
Are you of the belief that a pastor is to be a weak pansy when his family or church is threatened.
That’s how we got the soy boys who caved in to illegal edicts and dutifully shut down their churches because the governor said so.
A pastor is often referred to as a shepherd. A shepherd is a protector, often putting himself between a parading dog or lion and his flock of sheep.
This guy did absolutely the correct thing when his family was threatened.
🤣
There are NO words that justify a response of physical violence......NONE
I’m going to rape and murder your wife and children calls for a response.
Church of the Closed Fist?
The pastor was foolish — and wrong — to take the law into his own hands. He could have gotten a restraining order against the neighbor and maybe gotten him convicted criminally.
Protecting his family is one of the most noble examples he could set for his flock.
From what....words?
That’s why HE went to jail.
This goes deeper than words. The guy has been essentially stalking the family. There is more to it that what you initially are seeing. This is not a “sticks and stones” issue.

Pastor Tony Spell's press conference after arrest on battery charges (June 24, 2026).
On June 23, 2026, around 9 a.m., Spell was working on a church bus battery in the parking lot of Life Tabernacle Church on Hooper Road in Central, Louisiana. A man (the neighbor's son) across the street shouted repeated vulgarities, profanities, and threats at him, including: "Tony, I'm going to rape your wife. I'm going to rape all of your grandchildren. The next time you go out of town, I'm going to kill them. And what the f*** are you going to do about it?
"Spell stated this harassment has occurred for years, with neighbors directing racial slurs (including the n-word), vulgarities, and threats toward church members (representing 27 nationalities, many recovering addicts seeking refuge). Church members have filed multiple complaints with police and the sheriff's department. He described himself as a shepherd protecting his "sheep" and family, refusing to allow threats of rape and murder.
Spell said he responded physically by crossing the highway. He was arrested for second-degree battery. He introduced his attorney, Jeffrey Whittenbrink, who called it a failure of law enforcement to address ongoing harassment despite complaints. The attorney noted neighbors' dislike of the church, prior complaints about music/lights, surveillance of the pastor, and instigation.
Spell emphasized his duty as husband, father, and pastor to protect his family. He answered questions on his actions and prior reports. The video shows him addressing media and supporters.
Having dealt with mentally ill persons like this, it often works. Crazy isn’t stupid. They will pivot to easier prey if the target of their crazy schools them.
Sometimes, they don’t. Stay strapped.
The creep has likely never worked a day in his life. His occupation is video games and TikTok.
