35. Yes, please report this, that preacher was taking advantage of hungry people

People were there to eat, not to hear a sermon. The church isn't supplying the food, that preacher was out of order. Report him he sounds dangerous.

Glad you weren't hurt and I hope you can go back to feeding the homeless.
