hell yes preacher man.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Father Nathan Monk of the St. Benedict Orthodox Church took to the podium during the open comment period at last Thursday’s Pensacola City Council meeting to call Council President Sam Hall out for arbitrarily denying speakers with whom he disagreed their right to redress of grievances by ruling them “out of order” and having them removed by force.

In a scene that would make George Orwell blush, Father Monk was himself ruled “out of order” and approached by Police Chief Chip Simmons and two uniformed officers.

The priest stood his ground and refused to leave, calling attention to the fact that he still had over a minute left to speak.

A tense standoff ensued, during which two council members — Sherri Myers and John Jerralds — exited the room to protest Councilman Hall’s unconstitutional ruling.
