Cops: Jehovah's Witnesses Faced Bullet Barrage

The Smoking Gun ^ | October 1, 2013

[RBW in PA]

Good for him, these people don’t know how to take no for an answer and keep coming back.

[Vigilanteman]

If you don’t like what they are selling, a simple “no, thank you” will do.

[Mark17]

John Baldwin, 35, was arrested for felony aggravated assault

I have always told them I really did not want to talk about it, but I never had any desire to shoot them.

[basil]

Ya think? That hasn’t been my experience with these people. (But I’ve never fired on them.)

[cripplecreek]

They can be pretty hard to get away from but not dangerously so. Certainly not worth shooting at them.

[billorites]

Mormons probably been banging on the door that morning.

[Rapscallion]

Obama’s Dept. of Homeland Security has said fervent religious people are domestic terrorists. Is this what the federal DHS wants - shooting guns at religious people and their cars?

[Average Al]

I wonder if this shooter showed up at his church on Sunday?

[Mercat]

We need the photo “Get off my lawn.”

[b4its2late]

I’m guessing his judgement was a bit clouded at that point.

[b4its2late]

And it was posted in the Smoking Gun. Coincidence? I think not.....

[TexasGator]

“Good for him, these people don’t know how to take no for an answer”

They had apologized and were in their car leaving when he went ballistic.

[forgotten man]

I had a friend who allowed Jehova’s witnesses to knock on his door. He answered the door in the nude. It was not a pretty sight.

I love talking to Jehovah’s Witnesses. There are few enough professed Christians who know as much about their own religion. When I lived in Raleigh, there was one who made sure my condo was the last stop on his route so he could have a beer with me while we talked/argued.

A coworker of mine scared the Mormons away when they asked him where he went to church. His answer?

“The Church of His Satanic Majesty, Lucifer, Prince of Darkness.”

[Vigilanteman]

My wife will hide from them and pretend not to be home when they come around.

I handle them in one of the following two ways:

1. If I don't have time to talk: "Sorry, but I'm just not interested. Good day." If they persist, just repeat the previous answer and close the door.
   
2. If I feel like having a little fun: "What's the membership of your church?" They give me the answer and I say "Wow, that's way more than the 144,000 whom you think are going to be saved! I think I'll try another brand of religion with better odds."

The reaction I get is priceless. Even though I'm not buying what they are selling, I admire their persistence and work ethic.

[OldNavyVet]

Religious nuts can drive you nuts, and free people are entitled to defend thenselves.

[pallis]

Jehovah’s Witnesses are why God created dogs.

[RandallFlagg]

LOL! I answered the door yesterday with my Beretta 92 in it’s holster when some Comcast salesperson rang the door.

(Of course, I ALWAYS have a firearm on me while in my home, so this isn’t uncommon)

[JRandomFreeper]

I thought Lucas Electrics was the Prince of Darkness.
