Apparently there were 2 similar incidents, one shot and tear gassed, according to ACLU: Pastor David Black of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago in the Woodlawn neighborhood, whose peaceful, free expression of his religion has led to his being shot repeatedly in the head with near-lethal projectiles and sprayed in the face with tear gas.
For the second one, I can't find any media outlets covering it to link a news article, but there's a photo circling showing a man with a clerical collar being pepper sprayed.
At this point someone needs to make the obvious church schism official and slap a new name on them. Would be mildly interesting to see how these people reacted to being branded official heretics and told to take their ball and go home.
Orthodox patriarchs, the pope, and scholars of major protestant and apostolic sects need to get together and say ‘look, we’re barely the same religion, but these guys aren’t even close and we would all like them to stop calling themselves christian.’
