Apparently at least that’s what one Chicago area reverend thinks about gun shop owners and legislators.
Nobody expected Saturday’s Operation PUSH protest at Chuck’s Gun Shop Range to be anything other than a circus of the bizarre. However, nobody anticipated that an address by a Chicago priest would include a call for the murder of a suburban gun shop owner and legislators who oppose gun control.
During an address at an anti-gun rally in front of Chuck’s, Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina’s Church, exhorted the crowd to “drag” shop owner, John Riggio, from his shop “like a rat” and “snuff” him. Rev. Pfleger went on to tell the crowd that legislators that vote against gun control legislation should be “snuffed” as well. As many know, “snuff” is slang for especially violent murder.
In case you think the ISRA is exaggerating, you can listen to his comments here. These are the kinds of folks we’re dealing with here. We must pass gun control to save lives by first murdering people.
If John Riggio is anything like gun shop owners here, it would have been entertaining to see them actually try that.
No one in power is going to object to the call for murdering the gunshop owner, but calling for the murder of politicians is going to eventually get you in a world of hurt.
It seems to me that this kind of speech falls under the definition of a Hate Crime as implemented by the Chicago area authorities.
and this was from a Priest?!?
Maybe the Left was right about there being no difference between radical Christians and Al Qaeda.
If the thought of a Chicago priest advocating murder bothers you, you might want to let someone know:

He a Catholic priest, but he sure as Hell isn’t a Christian. Don’t allow him that subterfuge.
Has the gunshop owner, or any of the legislators on his hitlist decided to pursue legal action against this guy?
I’ve not heard, but Snuffy was hauled off in handcuffs for protesting chucks at one point, but I think the charges were dropped.
If father pfleger was around he probably would of protested when little DAVID
stood up to goliath with his slingshot! he such a hypocrite!
