Do you wonder where people like Salvador Ramos in Texas got his extreme veiws?

Pator Johnathan Shelly of Steadfast Bible Church Texas addressed city council in Arlington Texas on the subject of June becoming Pride Month by saying all gay people should be executed. Some people in attendance agreed with Pastor Shelly.

Is it common for the Church to advocate for the death of large groups of people in Texas? Should anyone be able to incite people like this in any public meeting with no repercussions?

Should anyone be able to incite people like this in any public meeting with no repercussions?

Surely if it actually is incitement to commit a crime then it is not speech protected by whatever amendment to your constitution protects free speech.

So, either they are careful enough with the wording, or the authorities are complicit in incitement to murder.

@ninalanyon It doesn't matter. Christians can get away with murder in this country.

In Canada it would be hate speech but in the USA you can pretty much get away with anything so the key is to turn the tables on him and recommend that fundamentalist preachers have their heads examined

@Tastyfrzz Could someone say All Baptist and Evangelical preachers should be executed and expect to get away with that?

@Pitchblue probably.

Wouldn't surprise me none. America became a theocracy when we weren't looking.
