"Christians of Good Faith" Picket School of Federal Judge's Children


If one wants to see the real level of sickness of the "godly Christian" crowd, it was on display here in Norfolk, Virginia, where these foul folks were picketing Norfolk Christian School where the children of federal judge Arenda Wright Allen are enrolled.  Worse yet, two of the bitches women protesting wrote a letter to the school in what appears to be an attempt to have Wright Allen's children thrown out of the school.  People really need to open their eyes to the fact that these "godly Christians" are neither nice nor decent people.  I also hope that the proper authorities look into this effort to harass a federal judge.  The local NBC News affiliate has details:

Protesters lined Granby Street at Norfolk Christian School Thursday to speak against Judge Arenda Wright Allen’s ruling on Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban.

Wright Allen ruled on Bostic v. Rainey, the lawsuit challenging Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage, last week, stating the ban was unconstitutional. Wright Allen is a parent of a student at Norfolk Christian Schools.

“Does Norfolk Christian support Judge Allen’s same-sex marriage court decision?” one protester’s sign said.

WAVY News’ Stephanie Harris spoke with those picketing outside the school. 

“We are not here to hurt any child, including her child,” said Kerr. “We’re making a statement, that a child does best when they have a mother and a father in the home.”

One driver stopped in the middle of Granby Street to argue with protesters. Self-proclaimed atheist Stephanie Cox said, “In government, it shouldn’t be up to Christians to decide what’s in government or not … the government does not make moral law. That’s not their job. They’re to protect and serve everybody, whether you’re Muslim, Hindu, Atheist or gay.”

10 On Your Side reached out to Judge Wright-Allen and her pastor, Jim Woods, but neither responded.
The judge stayed her decision, which means same-sex couples cannot get married in Virginia now. The case will go before another judge on appeal.

Angry parents sent the following letter to Norfolk Christian Thursday, announcing plans to protest:

Dear Norfolk Christian School,

We will be picketing your school today because Judge Arenda Wright Allen is a parent there.
We respect Norfolk Christian as one of the leading private and Christian schools in Hampton Roads. 

Some of us have had a child or grandchild attend there.

Knowing Norfolk Christian’s statement of faith – particularly that “The Holy Scriptures are verbally inspired by God and are our only infallible rule of faith and practice,” we are protesting the fact that Judge Arenda Allen has made a federal court decision allowing same-sex marriage in Virginia. This directly violates God’s Word in the Holy Scriptures.

Because Judge Allen is a parent in the school who must adhere to the statement of faith, we feel her court decision goes against all that Norfolk Christian stands for in the community.

All Christians of good faith in Virginia have been assaulted by Judge Allen’s decision – particularly our children. We Christians in Hampton Roads are totally against Judge Allen’s decision because it is totally against God. 

We are asking Norfolk Christian to reevaluate Judge Allen’s qualifications as a parent in good standing at the school.

This letter will be included in our press release to the media today.

Respectfully,
Louantha Kerr      Frances Bouton

18 U.S. Code § 115, makes it a crime to threaten assault, kidnap, murder or bodily harm against a federal judge or their family members "with intent to retaliate".  While this episode clearly appears to be with "intent to retaliate," it likely doesn't rise to that level of physical threat contemplated by the U. S. Code.  Nonetheless, it would be nice if Ms. Kerr and Ms. Bouton and others involved received a visit from the FBI.  These "godly folk" need to learn that they are NOT above the law nor are they entitled to special rights.

It's worth remembering that in conjunction with "Justice Sunday" in 2005 and the murder of one federal judge and of the family of another federal judge, Texas Republiscum senator John Cornyn, himself a former judge on the Texas State supreme court, actively and publicly condoned the roughing up of judges who made unpopular decisions.

A very selective attitude these sociopaths and psychopaths have as to "law and order, and I continue to be depressed at how many people claim to love America but have little but contempt for most of the people who live here.
