Baptist pastor Roger Jimenez of the California-based Verity Baptist Church drew widespread condemnation when he praised Omar Mateens terror attack on a gay Orlando nightclub and now hes getting some much-deserved comeuppance.
Local news station WMAZ 13 reports that Harsch Investment Properties, the company that owns the building where Jimenezs church now resides, says that it will not renew the churchs lease and is even asking Jimenez to consider moving immediately.
We have many places of worship and other religious organizations in the properties we manage, the company said in a press release, which also noted that the company will not tolerate tenants who advocate hatred and the taking of innocent lives.
Sadly, the lease doesnt expire until next March, so Jimenez and his church might be able to stay in the building for several more months. That said, Harsch Investment Properties has made it very clear that Verity Baptist Church is not welcome on their property.

What I would do is to make sure that, as a tenant, they are scrupulously compliant with the terms of the lease.

It will be the insurance company that denies coverage if someone burns down the building because of the ass.
