The of the related video. He said, "Tony, I'm going to rape your wife. I'm going to rape all your grandchildren. Next time you see me out of town, I'm I'm going to kill them." Yes. Spell said he believed he had a responsibility act. I have a duty and obligation to do what I did. The pastor told reporters he could not allow someone to threaten his family and said he was acting as a husband and a father and a pastor. The neighboring family Sherwins disputed Spell's account and told they do not believe their son made the threats described by the pastor.

Video footage obtained show Spell crossing Hooper Road and confronting the young man before the fight broke out. Louisiana pastor beat up a man allegedly threatened to Okay, and according to arrest That's pretty wild when you hear a story like this. Yes, and then there's a In my name shall they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. So, today I fulfilled the scripture. I laid hands on the sick. Good for you. Didn't somebody else as a neighbor say that these guys were doing that? Yeah, so Pat, there was a It's on YouTube. There's a lady of the congregation, a black lady sitting in a car with her child saying that they've been hurling racial slurs

and anybody that goes to this church, Pat. And here's the thing. People think because this is a pastor, you're supposed to just, you know, stand there and take it. That's not Christianity, okay? You're you're still a husband, you're a father, you're a grandfather. Protecting your family isn't a sin. And the Bible, yes, cuz I know people are going to say something in the chat about forgiveness and turning the other cheek when you're personally wrong, but it does not teach you to stand by while someone threatens your family. Jesus said in Luke 22 36, "If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." Evil is real, Pat. Protecting the innocent people is part of your responsibility. And 1

Timothy 5:8 also makes it clear that a man has a duty to care for his household. Okay, you don't go looking for a fight, but when someone brings it and threatens your life and your grandchildren or rape you and murder your whole family, guess what? You don't roll over, you stand up, and you protect your family. And he's also after he got out of jail 2 hours later, he was standing in front of the thing and saying, "What am I supposed to do?" You're for 6 years, Adam. They're They're across the street. This is a neighbor from the congregation saying, "We're going to kill and rape." And what are you going to do? Sit there and like, "Okay, yeah, keep saying it." a case of FAFO than I've ever seen.

what happened. Tom, how do you process this? You're good with this? I'll tell you how I process this. In 1976, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of America. In 1976, what do you think that the neighbors and everyone would have said about this? What do you think the cop would have say if he called the police? The cop would have said, "You told them you were going to kill his family, you're going to rape him, and he walked across the street, and he whooped your ass?" Yeah. Son, why are you saying these things? The cop wouldn't be right. Now we go, "Oh, what happened to this poor boy? Oh, it's freedom of speech." That's not freedom of speech. That's That's horrifying. We have fallen far as a country, and the

real tragedy is that somebody that what that said to the police, "I don't think our boy said that." Wait a minute, who raised that boy? Exactly. get You don't get to say he doesn't do it. You'll have your day. You can say whatever you want, you can give him an alibi. You Because that's not an alibi. My boy wouldn't do that. Really? We got film that says he did. Mhm. Where were you? Every once in a while, I love to hear stories like this for the market to know just if you screw around with the wrong person, things like this could happen to

you. I actually love stories like this every once in a while. Wherever the pastor is, hey, kudos to you. Uh any kid or a wife would love to have a father like you and a husband like you that protects its own. I respect the hell out of it. You didn't need cops to do it, you protected your own.
