Bernard Polite tries to shoot Pastor Glenn Germany during Philadelphia church livestream
NORTH BRADDOCK, Pa. (KDKA) -- A church service in North Braddock, Pennsylvania, was upended Sunday when a man pulled a gun on the pastor in the middle of his sermon. The incident was caught on video.
Pennsylvania State Police have charged 26-year-old Bernard Polite of Braddock, saying he entered and attempted to shoot Pastor Glenn Germany while the pastor was delivering a sermon at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church on Sunday just after 1 p.m.
Video taken by the church's deacon and posted online by Pastor Glenn Germany shows the moment the pastor suddenly found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.
"I was like, this is not happening," Pastor Germany said.
Yet somehow, it was, but no shot was fired. The gun failed to discharge, police said.
"I thank God because only God stopped and jammed this gun," Germany said.

That wasn't very polite, if you ask me.

“I was like, this is not happening”. Even pastors speak like Valley Girls these days.

If only god stopped and jammed the gun do we get to blame god for all the times that he didn’t jam the guns of multiple elementary school shooters?

Usually this would hint the Rev was gallivanting with some ladies of the congregation

If only Jesus Christ on a crucifix had an AK-47, this entire ordeal could've been avoided!

This is why I hate organized religion and its followers. I want an explanation as to why "god" didn't jam the gun in all those schools, etc.
