SALEM, Mass. – A video showing a little girl with pigtails screaming at a street preacher to ‘shut up’ as she relentlessly mocked him and his message of redemption through Jesus Christ has gone viral.

The video posted on Live Leak, which has been viewed more than 250,000 times, shows a child approaching Austin Coppock, who had been preaching on Salem’s busy Essex Street pedestrian mall during the city’s annual Halloween celebration.

Salem, which is also known as “The Witch City” and where police uniforms and patrol cars are even marked with the slogan and an image of a witch on a broom, hosts an annual event attracting tens of thousands of people to the city streets. This year police estimated upwards of nearly 100,000 people visiting the city for the annual celebration...

But seriously, what sort of upbringing is that little girl receiving and what sort of hateful, intolerant parents did she spring from?

It's Salem. It's a mecca for a lot of new age, and worse, weirdos. My wife used to live in the next town over, and the police blotter was always full of "occult worship objects found at...," and dead cat reports.

I’ll bet both her moms are proud.

And that little girl is in for a rude awakening. Her parent/s are egging her on, but one day something very bad is going to happen when she acts like that towards the wrong person.

Its not so much this particular instance... but if this kid is taught that its OK to act like this... one day she is going to do it to the wrong person and someone is going to find her in a ditch.
You can’t just talk to anyone however you want to. Oh you might get away with it a few times....

My kids know that some people are evil, real evil, and they understand that. Sensible people don’t just scream at an evil person. This mother is taking advantage of the decency of people who make her feel insecure, and as you say it could cost the little girl everything. The woman is a terrible mother, and as a result it doesn’t look like the girl has much chance in her life.

God has ways to do things, and that girl may be in for a wild ride in her life, followed by a cataclysmic coming to faith.

The language and attitude of the child demonstrates she is not getting good role models or attitude corrections from her parents.

Matthew 18:2-4,

2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

It was also a place where Christians forgot “Our fight is not against flesh and blood.” Sympathy was drummed up for witchcraft.

Right now, it is early 1930's Germany. "Shut up", or bankrupt bakers for not making gay wedding cakes.

This is what liberals crave.

It would be so classy if the next time the kid appears, the preacher just stops, walks over to the girl, and asks a few questions.

This seems so unnatural for a child, unless possessed. It normally takes years and years to build up such hate.

The kid takes a few looks at who I assume is a parent for encouragement.

"Mommy says no Free Speech for you!"

Matthew 18:5-6

5 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,[a] it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

The mother was telling her daughter to do this—

That is where the real Demon spirit lays hidden—

I have known “parents -the term is used loosely)

that would think this was hilarious..

The little girl needs a prayer, and an intersession
of a righteous follower of God- to help her escape
from this evil.

Salem: A nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

I figger this kid will be just about ready to take her rightful place about the time that Whoopi and Rosie are ready to retire from The View.
