A Kentucky church staged a mock firing squad execution in front of children at Vacation Bible School and the pastor says he's 'befuddled' by the backlash. We break down exactly why that defense fails. Then: Pastor Tony Spell, the COVID-defying Louisiana preacher who packed his church while morgues filled up, attempted to run over a protester with a church bus, got arrested for felony battery after beating a 20-year-old neighbor, and was caught on body camera harassing the victim's father from a lawn mower less than two days later. Spell built his brand on free speech and religious freedom. He then physically attacked a man for exercising that same free speech on his own property. We walk through the body cam footage, the legal exposure, and the pattern of behavior that defines Spell's ministry. We also examine what the Vacation Bible School firing squad stunt actually models for developing minds, and why the pastor's 32-year-tradition defense makes the case against him, not for him.
