The alleged killers of the minister found dead inside his own church 'laughed' while watching a news report about the case on television, court documents said.

Pastor Clint Dobson, 29, of NorthPointe Baptist Church in Arlington, was suffocated with a plastic bag and his assistant Judy Elliott, 67, was severely beaten, they said.

Steven Nelson, 24, and Anthony Springs, 19, were ‘laughing and making inappropriate comments about Dobson’s death’, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

‘When confronted about this behaviour (Springs) produced an item he claimed belonged to Dobson,’ it said.

They made the comments at a friend’s house in front of two women who contacted police the next day to say what they had heard, reported the Dallas Morning News.

Police said soon after the death last Thursday that a motive of robbery may have been behind the physical assaults, as some items were missing from the church.

The lady's husband said when attending his wife, that “she was beaten about the face to the point of being unrecognizable to him.”

They’ll stop laughing when they walk to the gurney for the Jesus juice.

It’ll take longer than it should but Texas is about as speedy as you’ll find

See how long they laugh when a plastic bag is put over THEIR heads, and a pair of vice grips grabs their gonads......tied to a SWAT vehicle leaving on a call.....

Is this a “hate crime”?

I think we all know the answer to that question, unfortunately.

Continuing story ping.

(Heard that the church was kept locked during non-service times.)

The church where I'm a member is always locked during non service time. Very few people have a key.

As a trustee, I have a key, along with two other trustees, three Deacons and the Pastor.

Hey, aren’t those Michelle’s kids from her first marriage???????????????????????????

Well Texas is out of Jesus Juice and no one wants to sell us any so....

it may be a while.

[Rightly Biased]

Texas is out of the cocktail to do away with them and no one will sell it to us...

I had a conversation with a friend the other day. She believes that there isn’t evil and the devil. I said to read the papers... you can see evil everyday. No, you won’t see a horned, tailed, red devil but you will see his work. I think this thread is just the example I was looking for...

Baptist ping

I wonder if they’re be yukking it up in hell for eternity, which is surely where these two belong.

My prayers go out to you and your entire congregation as well as to the families of both pastor and assistant.

Those assailants did not "take" the life of your pastor for he had already "given away" it long ago.

"Absent from the body, present with The Lord!"

Walmart sells it. They keep it in a bottle labeled “Drano”

[TruthConquers]

Oh, Lord, I had wondered if he was related to Dr. Dobson.

Prayers for the Dobson family.

Pastor Clint Dobson’s father is the cousin to Dr. James Dobson. Both men are like brothers so this loss is especially tragic, but always a senseless evil no matter who is involved.

So brutal. She’s 64 years old, and has been a good person all her life.

Where is the justice?
