Vestal: Ignore street preachers

Mother’s Day, 2016. A Spokane woman, trailed by a handful of kids and adults, marches through the Spokane Valley Target, waving a Bible over her head and roaring. “Target would have you believe with their Mother’s Day displays that they love mothers and children!” the woman shouts while being recorded on video. “This is a deception! This is not love, and they’ve proven it by opening their bathrooms to perverted men! I’m a mother of 12 and I’m very disgusted by this wicked practice!” The shouter is Kristenea LaVelle, a member of the Spokane Street Preachers, a group of bellicose Christians who like to ruin people’s days wherever they go, picking fights, recording themselves and posting the results on YouTube. “Mothers!” the woman hollers. “Get your children out of their store. Mothers! Have enough decency to get out of this store. It’s a dangerous place.” More here.
