Larry Bourbonnais, who was slightly wounded during last week's shootings at New Life Church, was ejected Sunday from the same church for alleged aggressive behavior.

"I took a bullet for members of this church," he was heard to shout as he was hustled out of the Colorado Springs worship complex by security guards.

The Rev. Brady Boyd said the church has petitioned for a restraining order against Bourbonnais, who tried to stop Matthew Murray's killing spree.

It figures.
Larry was the guy who started trying to edge in on “hero” status by claiming specific actions during the shootings.

He ran behind one of the armed guards and started demanding his gun because the guard wasn’t shooting in every direction.

Didn’t take long for this guy to expose himself.

No, it’s the Lord’s church. It was pastored by Ted Haggard for years, but no longer.

So, a large church has some sinners in it. Surprise.

He founded it, and led it until last year, yes.

Robbed of his chance to be a hero. By a girl, no less!

Humble thyself before the Lord, Larry.

A non denominational church with 10,000 members.

Sorry, to me this is a business folks, and not one interested in the benefits of the afterlife.

Gay prostitutes, meth, shootings, and a restraining order. What could feel wrong?

Because it has 10,000 members? What is an appropriate number of members for a church so that it does not, in your opinion, constitute a business? Is your opinion based on scripture at all?
