WARNING
The street preacher’s aka bible bangers were out in full force over the Super Bowl Weekend. The hate that comes out of their mouths is just terrible. Take a close look at this photo. Our local Hero Miss April was engaging them. They were trying everything to get her to touch them. Notice the 2 guys filming everything. Here is their ungodly trick. If you touch them, they will charge you with assault and have it all on camera. If you do not want to be charge, they will take a large cash payment. $500 + in many cases to not press charges. We personally know of 3 who have paid. Now back to April LOL…. When this photo was taken the nasty preacher had just said “What man owns this woman?” of course April yelled back “no one owns me!!!” The preacher than said “That’s because you don’t have Jesus and no man wants you!!!” We grabbed April and left. It kinda make you think when you see the sad women and children with the preachers. Hum… is this a form of human trafficking?
