Wife of pastor arrested for nearly hitting protester with bus flashes wads of cash

as she bails him out

The Apostle Paul was jailed in Rome for preaching that Jesus Christ was God. Some 2,000 years later, another evangelist - Louisiana Pastor Tony Spell - was jailed for trying to hit a protester with a bus.

While legend holds that Paul was eventually beheaded by Emperor Nero, Mr Spell will have to suffer no such fate; his wife, Shaye, flashed $5,000 at the local jail, made bail, and brought her husband home.

Spell has been in the news for defying state stay-at-home orders for the purpose of holding his church services. He believes his church should be recognised as an "essential service" and that the coronavirus is politically motivated.

The pastor has been under scrutiny by the state for continuing to hold in-person church services despite state social distancing guidelines.

Actually waving the money around like that is the tackiest thing, wow. The two of them look like something out of central casting for stereotypes. It's eerie.

that these people exist? Something clearly went wrong somewhere. It has to be something in our DNA. Either that or it is easier to teach the stupid than it is to teach facts.
