Nice Lady Sees Devil Symbol In School Bus Lights, Gets On TV

Nice Lady Sees Devil Symbol In School Bus Lights, Gets On TV

The devil's in my car

From Memphis, Tennessee, we have this important news of demon-possessed bus tail lights, thanks to easily upset Christian lady Robin Wilkins, who saw a star pattern in the LED taillights of a school bus. She decided it was a Satanic pentagram just like on a heavy metal record, and took her concerns to the local teevee station. Which aired them, of course, because why wouldn’t they?

“Anyone who fears a God, if not God and Jesus Christ, should be outraged,” Wilkins told the station, apparently in complete earnest. Newscaster Kontji Anthony carefully explained that a pentagram is an upside-down five-pointed star, and indulged Wilkins a little further as she speculated that this was one more sign that Christians are oppressed: “If they can’t put a cross on there, you cannot put a pentagram on it!” Wilkins also asked, “Would we allow a swastika, for instance, to be on the back of the bus?” Excellent question. Let’s all pray that we never have to find out!



Anthony even found a Wiccan who said the pentagram was a sacred symbol for her, and that people need to get educated about Wicca (sure thing!):
“Find out what it really means before you start getting riled up and all worked up about something. Wiccans, we believe in God, we believe in Jesus, but we don’t call him God.” That sounds like pretty loose Wiccan doctrine to us, frankly. (not even CLOSE!!)

If the WMC news crew found anyone who simply said, “You’ve got to be kidding. You’re kidding, right?,” they didn’t include those doubters in the story.

. . .

It would appear that Ms. Wilkins is not alone in her concerns. We found at least two other random posts about the devil lights, one from 2008, and another from 2013, as well as this YouTube video by a very upset gentleman:

the dumbing down of America was just for kids.

What happens when the kids leave home and hit the big old world without her?

And just to make her point very clear, she adds,

“If you can’t put a cross on there, you cannot put a pentagram on it,” Wilkins said.

Yeah. Jesus said so.

Holy cow, y’all, don’t let Robin come to Texas.


We have pentagrams everywhere.

Thelma even has one tattooed on her butt because she enjoys mooning people from Oklahoma. I wonder if it would even things out with the Lord if she put a cross on the other cheek?
