Repent Amarillo Back in the News

[icymist]

Thanks to PollyAmory for sending this bit my way -- remember a year or so ago when we talked about the right-wing nutjobs from Repent Amarillo? They're the "prayer warrior" group that targets sin-filled places like swingers' clubs, coffee houses, and breast cancer events. Well, last month Observer reporter Forrest Wilder got a chance to sit down with Repent Amarillo's leader, Dave Grisham, and the conversation is, at the very least, illuminating.

Grisham goes into extensive detail about how his mission is to save the souls of everyone in Amarillo, as well as in neighboring cities like Houston, the entire state of Texas, and apparently every other place in the world. What's a bit scary about Grisham and his army of jackbooted minions is that they really don't understand why it's not okay to use terrorist tactics against people just because you disagree with them.
