St. Louis-area teen carrying Bible and yelling dies after being shot by police stun gun

JERSEYVILLE, Ill. (AP) - A teenager carrying a Bible and shouting "I want Jesus" was shot twice with a police stun gun and later died at a St. Louis hospital, authorities said.

In a statement obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, police in Jerseyville, about 40 miles north of St. Louis, said 17-year-old Roger Holyfield would not acknowledge officers who approached him and he continued yelling, "I want Jesus."

Police tried to calm the teen, but Holyfield became combative, according to the statement. Officers fired the stun gun at him after he ignored their warnings, then fired again when he continued struggling, police said.

Holyfield was flown to St. Louis' Cardinal Glennon Hospital after the confrontation Saturday; he died there Sunday, police said.

One cannot even profess one's faith without being tasered to death these days; but if young Holyfield had been yelling "I want Allah" and waving a koran about, would he have been killed? Only after the police apologised for the uncleanness of their nickname, such is the pervasiveness of the PC disease ... the reality is, however, that because he was a Christian Holyfield had no such apology given to him; but no matter, he is with the LORD today.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:10)

I do love a happy ending. Praise!

You could be right Mrs. Rogers; but with these secular news sources you have to be careful.

First thing that drew my suspicion was when I did an image search on Google for Holyfield. Well lo and behold what do I get? About a million pictures of some barbaric looking darkie.

So, now I'm on to something. We have a darkie asking for Jesus; why?

I suspect he read this passage;

John 16:24
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

and was looking for;

1. crack

2. cheap malt liquor

3. a pie

But the thing that really sealed the deal for me was the blurb towards the end of the story regarding Amnesty International; a known homosexual organization.

They stated that 156 deaths resulted from 70,000 stun gun incidents as if it was a bad thing. What they failed to mention, is that 69,844 sinners are still alive and walking the street because we weren't allowed to shoot them. As always, you have to look at both sides of the coin.

I'm glad to see that even the secular police are coming to Righteousness in shooting "people" who carry inCorrect "Bibles."

It goes without saying that this Sinner was not carrying a KJV 1611, the thickness of which would have kept tasers away from his Body.

So he got his Just Desserts. Praise!

This is what is wrong with America today.

You can't even wander down the street shouting incoherently without the damm police showing up and harrassing you. This time a citizen died just because he refused to acknowledge that the police were messing with his buzz.

Damm cops always butting in. Mind your own business.

Mrs Rogers, whilst I know we always try and look at the good within people, I feel Brother Deaner raises a valid point.
This Darkie was obviously up to no good and I suspect that the Bible in question had been stolen from the house belonging to a Woman he had earlier raped and murdered while on the lookout for Hot Pie's cooling on window sills. They get so posessed by Demons when on their drugs that the Police generally have no choice but to shoot or Tazer these Negras in case they are carrying a gun that they bought from a guy called Eddie at the back of the Liquor store who gets them from a Policeman who works for the Scenes of Crime department and just happens to pick them up and remove any Serial numbers or other markings from the weapon.

Not that I know anything about this of course.
