Churches take new security measures in face of terror threats

As Father Josiah Trenham prepared to read the Gospel, several parishioners discreetly scooped up their babies, retreated up the aisles of St. Andrew Orthodox Church and out into the spring air, so as not to allow the crying of little ones to disturb the divine liturgy.

The time-honored tradition was shattered when a car passed by the Riverside, Calif., church, slowing down as the front passenger leaned out of his window and bellowed menacingly through a bullhorn, according to witnesses.

“Allahu Akbar!” the unidentified man repeated several times as the unnerved parents drew their infants close and exchanged worried glances.

Witnesses were able to give Riverside police a description of the green Honda Civic, but not of the three occupants. Some told police they believed one or more of the men may have been taking photographs, according to Officer Ryan Railsback. Although Trenham insisted multiple congregants heard the Arabic phrase, Railsback noted no mention of it was in the police report.

Whatever the case, no law was broken – even if an unmistakable message was sent and received.

We live in 'interesting' times.  Stay vigilant.

As the Colorado Springs shooting (2007?) illustrated, armed on-site security has been a trend among churches for some time. That shooting and the SC shooting probably accelerated that trend. A "live shooter" situation is the ultimate, "When seconds count the police are just minutes away," situation. And as the Orlando nightclub shooting illustrated, police officers may not intervene immediately on arrival.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Once in awhile I go to church* with a pretty Orthodox lady of my acquaintance. I'm always armed. The priest approves.


*I am an atheist, but don't mind other people's peaceful religious beliefs, and the Orthodox have good food after church!
