About 20 minutes into Rev. Damian O’Connell’s noon Mass, protester Jacob Martin, 23, rose out of his seat in the center of the church and started to walk down the aisle while shouting into a bullhorn that “only the devil” could create “animals capable of love and joy just so humans can make them suffer and die.”
Martin, who is a former University of North Carolina student and identifies as a Christian, also had a camera strapped to his chest, which worshippers believed was an explosive.
“I was terrified,” said Cindy Calitri, 52. “I thought it was a bomb. There was something on his chest with lights flashing.”
Inbreeding works!
I’m not familiar with NY’s statutes but in many jurisdictions, that’s a felony… which is why the left hasn’t done more of it. I hope he enjoys his stay on Rikers Island.
Oh Gawd there goes NME666, out of moms basement to froth at the Christians again.
Is much of society going mad?
Knight 🙂
It is of human nature to want to believe in some great purpose for our lives. But we are a few generations down the road of social engineering toward the “enlightened” belief that there is nothing to life but the pleasures and ease that we can get from it, nothing is more important, and nothing is important enough to really risk for. So those with urges find fake problems, fake struggles in which to spend themselves, and avoid real issues. Don’t go fight ISIS, don’t engage a homeless person and encourage and support them in coping with their problems, go make a scene in a Catholic church, “fight” on behalf of animals that can never disagree with you about what they want.
Or, yes, society has gone mad.
IOW based on his wild generalizations, he’s unteachable. Very well, start the expulsion proceedings.
Maybe he could take his bullhorn to a wind farm and see the devils work in the blood of the bird kills.

The Obama’s photobombed an Easter church service too !
Grandma and Grandpa would have given him a slap on the head and dragged his ass
out by his ears, and the idiot might have learned a lesson.
Best ham story I’ve heard in a long time. Must be what a Kool-Aid overdose looks like.
I guess I protested the protesters by dispatching some of our meat rabbits today. Very healthy specimens and not one squeal could be heard. Grandma would be proud.
The difference between Christians and Muslims? Christians strap a flashlight to their heads to protest the eating of pork at Easter.
Folks are getting jittery these days; if this loon had done that in some other places in the US he might well have been plugged full of lead.
“Christians strap a flashlight to their heads to protest the eating of pork at Easter.”
Christians?
This nut certainly wasn’t protesting on the basis of any Christian dietary doctrine since
Christianity has no prohibition on the consumption of pork.
In fact, Christianity has no dietary prohibitions of any kind.

“In fact, Christianity has no dietary prohibitions of any kind.”
Not according to NME666, apparently his hatred for Christians stems from a dietary prohibition of semen.
As I agree with you, it really bugs me when certain Christians (doctrines) do not condone alcohol. Not sure which translation of the bible they got it from but I’m sure Jesus knew what he was doing when he turned water into wine, not fruit juice.
Shoulda given him one of them immersion baptisms…a long one.
Not exactly – vegetarianism has been a part of some Christian sects for a long time now. But the average leftist, atheist vegan has never had this explained to them by their commie professors. So it is a lot of fun when you point out to vegan leftists they are really just following Christian teachings. The look on their faces is, well, hilarious.

“As I agree with you, it really bugs me when certain Christians (doctrines) do not condone alcohol. Not sure which translation of the bible they got it from but I’m sure Jesus knew what he was doing when he turned water into wine, not fruit juice.”
To be fair, it probably originally stemmed from the belief that drinking would somehow inevitably lead to intemperance. But the Bible, though it certainly discourages drunkenness, offers no particular pronouncement on the matter in terms of prohibition.
Obviously a specifically denominational rather than universal Christian doctrinal issue.
Cheers!
You probably weren’t aware that Jesus’ wife was a socialist. Well let’s just say she was not for prophet.
“Not exactly – vegetarianism has been a part of some Christian sects for a long time now.”
Some Christian sects, perhaps. But Christianity, no.
As with drinking, this is again a specifically denominational rather than universal Christian doctrinal issue. It takes considerable – and unconvincing – theological acrobatics to attempt to justify vegetarianism as some sort of tenet of Christian belief, largely because it is simply quite irrelevant to that belief.
For Christians, Matthew 15:10-20 succinctly puts the matter in perspective.
hay Night, president Johnson told his biographer that HLO did not act alone
I don’t need to comment on the topic at hand, this sh*t just writes it’s self
Nighty boy, it’s out rite stupidity I detest, and you put that on display regularly. I don’t give a sh*t, one way or another about one’s religion, just keep it were it belongs, butt that’s a little difficult for some kristians to grasp. Well, ‘cept when it comes to their sister religion, islam
Am I the only one who’s noticed he went to a Christian church for his stunt, he should be encouraged to try the same thing at a mosque, and rant about the animal abuse when halal butchers get into action… let’s us know how that turns out.
Way to go Knight99!!
You just had to go ahead and wake up the creepy NNME666 so now the hysterical rants and incomprehensible anti-semitic and “burn-the-churches-and-jail-the-pastors” blatherings will soon be posted by that nut case.
Rather than read any of 666’s garbage, I’d rather go down to the abbatoir to watch all the action.
“Just keep it where it belongs”, he says. And where, exactly is that? And I don’t mean where YOU think it belongs, but where the law and the constitution says it belongs. There is no constitutional imperative that religious “belongs” behind closed doors…….as much as you wish it to be so.
Don’t send your kids to university, Mrs. Worthington
Don’t send your kids to school.
I always think of Noel Coward when I read stories like this.
Not to nitpick, but this was by no means Damian O’Connell’s mass unless there’s a much bigger story hiding in plain sight here. Just sayin …
I guess these idiots who have probibly watched too many animatronic talking animal movies(Babe,Babe II Pig in the City,Cats & Dogs, Etc)while snorting wacky weed powder these idiots would’nt last a week if they were shipwrecked on some island or marooned in the wilderness and real nature would scare the veggieburgers out of them STUPID IGNORANT FLATLANDERS
That was a thread worth taking note of. Right from the get-go we had one person baiting NNME666 into making a comment, and then when he did make a couple of mild comments we had two others jump in with nasty, personal attacks. Interesting.
Christianity at its best. The part I find funny is when they call NME a creep yet they’re the ones that believe in magic sky fairies. Very entertaining indeed.
I see Terry and Ryan are new here.
Back to the thread at hand, when one is preached at in a house of worship, one tends not to feel it is out-of-place.
Well, one wouldn’t until a douchebag with a bullhorn showed up.
I would agree with you regarding the unconvincing theological acrobatics justifying Christian vegetarianism. However, when juxtaposed with the utter lack of scientific evidence supporting the need for a vegetarian diet in humans, these Christians vegetarians actually attempt some rationalization for their lifestyle. Unlike the bat sh*t crazy Fascist, atheist, vegan animal rights idiots who preach at me with a “holier than though” attitude.
Been here for years son.
So, what are you saying? This sort of nasty attack is normal?
Yes, I kind of think they would make Halal out of him.
Oh, Ryan and Terry!
You guys are adorable!

I don’t attend church, except funerals and weddings. An old retired Baptist minister once told me that God lives within the heart, that’s where he makes his home, and not within the confines of a cold stone church.
As for disrupting a Catholic mass, I don’t condone the move, however it does happen. I grew up in a predominantly Catholic community. A hypnotist arrived in our town one day, however the priest condemned his act that was to take place at the local movie theater. Hypnotism was considered sinful. The condemnation however did not sway the community. Saturday night, the theater was packed, the hypnotist gave a great performance. This was 1966.
On Sunday morning, the hypnotist walked into our church. He got up in front of the congregation, and started out by telling the priest that he should mind his own business and allow those who were in showbiz do their thing. A couple of parishioners walked up to the hypnotist, however the guy was about 6’6” so they backed away. He told the priest off royally, then walked out. I wasn’t in church that Sunday, nor do I know whatever happened to him, however if I recall, his name was ”The Great Albert.”
“Not sure which translation of the bible they got it from but I’m sure Jesus knew what he was doing when he turned water into wine, not fruit juice.”
“which translation”, and there good god fokes is the crux of the issue. Thanks for saying that JJM, as I’v been tempted to say it, but declined, waiting for some “banger” like you to say it. What was written 2000 years ago is NO longer relevant in todays world, EXCEPT if it is translated to. So, these translations are todays creation, and not some “biblical” expounding. As someone posted, god lives in the heart, and those constantly quacking about their god are just nervous nellies trying to CONvince themselves.
osumashi, so what’s your take on the poop…emr pope barking about defeating ISIS with “weapons of love”???????

“You just had to go ahead and wake up the creepy NNME666”
He he LOL – don’t worry, the mere word “Christian” in the captioned paragraph would have brought that retard running with teeth gnashing and foam flying regardless.
Just having some fun with SDA’s resident mental patient 🙂
If chist was avegan would e told those fishermen to cast their nets on the right side of their boat? would he have exsorcised the demons from the wild and put them in the pigs that then ran into the river and drowned? These animal rights idiots have been reading PETA stupid newsletter for too long or listened to hollywood pinhead James Cromwell who played a pretend farmer and such in those dumb BABE movies I suggest these idiots be parachuted into the wilds of alaska where the real wild critter live
