Speechless

I don't know if this video is an elaborate gag or not but it's really beyond words. I thought the background music was a particularly nice touch.

I just saw this guy!! On the corner of Hoyt on the Fulton Mall!!
I come in the name of Jesus by the power of the holy spit, who you comin' in the name of, byaatch!!!
best comeback: you fuckin' knickum fuckin' poop.
The sad thing is not that he's preaching the way he is, but he and at least one other person went through the trouble of approaching a local community cable station, signed up for a time slot, rented a camera, backdrop, and a lapel mike, and paid for a call-in number because that's how strongly they believe in their Word.
Shotblock, I know you have something to say...

preach on!..he isn't hurting anyone...nor truly saving anyone/helping anyone find spirituality.

I see a street preacher or two every day in downtown chicago. they usually have a bullhorn...apart from the 10-15 seconds of annoyance, they are meaningless. but i rather have the 10-15 seconds of nonsense over something worse.

I looked at it without audio for a few seconds...he looks crazy. i am going to listen to it later at home.

Quoting the honorable louis farrakhan as quoted by public enemy: "we lost our freedom, our religion, our language.....and many of us by the way we act....we even lost our mind"

I just freaked myself out. I was wondering what the backdrop was. I've never been there and to me, it's not a falls that we may know off the top of our head, like Niagara Falls. But when i saw the video again, I decided I wanted to find out, and for whatever reason the name Yosemite Falls came to mind and I google it, and this is what came up - http://www.dotloose.com/walls/Yosemite%20Falls%20April%2004.jpg

Do you think there's a settlement that this preacher leads hidden in the woods of Yosemite National Park in California? Note that the number that comes up in the beginning is a 213 area code -- Southern California. I'm feeling a calling...

Good detective work on that one. I swear I would love to get another episode of this guy preaching. Maybe him taking it to the streets though I could see that getting violent. He might call the wrong person a biyatch and all hell would break loose.

I finally saw this with audio. if it is not a joke, then i feel sorry for him. he seems to either be on drugs or in serious need of meds for his mental illness. this dude is so off. did i hear him right about having the glock and ready to go take someone out? in the name of jesus? send him to the Westboro Baptist Church to speak about jesus with Fred Phelps. that would be entertaining.
