I wonder if this noisy shyster knows the informal etymology of:

Pandemonium

Thanks to http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?

1667, Pandæmonium, in "Paradise Lost" the name of the palace built in the middle of Hell, "the high capital of Satan and all his peers," coined by John Milton (1608-1674)

...from Gk. pan- "all" + L.L. daemonium "evil spirit," from Gk. daimonion "inferior divine power," from daimon "lesser god" (see demon).

...Transferred sense "place of uproar" is from 1779; that of "wild, lawless confusion" is from 1865.

Essentially (informally) -- "ALL DEMONS LOOSE"

******

Time to pray...

Heavenly Father.... and Jesus our Lord --
We pray to loose Your Holy Spirit on the Earth

Let YOUR KINGDOM COME to Sanford.... to Florida... and into this terrible situation...

Let YOUR WILL BE DONE... here on earth as it is in Heaven.

May God REIGN AND RULE over every word and deed...
