Passengers Flee in Panic as Commuter Reads Bible Aloud on London Train
Breitbart ^ | 10/2/17 | Oliver JJ Lane

Posted on 10/03/2017 12:57:33 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Commuters travelling in South-West London experienced delays Monday morning after passengers on a train forced open the doors and ran onto the tracks to escape a man with a bible. The incident took place near Wimbledon station, as a passenger on a packed commuter train started reading lines from the bible. Another passenger asked the man to stop because he was “scaring” others, but it was already too late and panic had set in. The Bible reading man was questioned by police after the train reached the station but was found to be carrying only books and water, and was not arrested. An eyewitness to the incident told The Guardian newspaper the “well-spoken and calm” preacher started reading from the old testament and told the carriage: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to talk to you about something and that something is the word of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He’s here to heal your sins. The Bible tells you that homosexuality is a sin and sex before marriage is a sin. You need to repent.” Fellow commuters in their panic prised open the train doors and climbed down onto the track to escape the man, forcing the rail operator to turn off power to the area to prevent anyone being electrocuted. The power isolation ultimately delayed hundreds of thousands of commuters, according to reports.

Londoners elected an Islamic mayor, so yeah, I guess Jesus scares them.

I don't blame them. The London system has repeatedly been targeted by terrorists. How could they know if the stranger was a sincere Christian or was about to open up with a bomb or a knife?

If someone is making a scene on a London subway, it's a good idea to presume that it's a prelude to an attack.

Maybe Ezekiel was being screamed in a Pulp Fiction reenactment.

Hey guys, I just got a great new idea! I need to run this movie title by the people who produced Snakes on a Plane:

Bible on a Train!

Apparently its a new psychological horror.

Uh, if someone is shouting “ALLAHU AKBAR!!!” on a London subway, it’s a good idea to presume that it’s a prelude to an attack.

British etiquette and social norms still typically would make someone mortified about making a scene. Not this guy who was wound up enough to make one.

British transportation has been targeted in the past.

You would be unarmed and if you are lucky enough to have a cop around he would be unlikely to be unarmed as well if he wanted to make an attack.

Best idea is get away from the guy as quick as you can.

Bible reading is good. Making a scene in a crowded subway is not good.

God’s too old-school for spell-check?

I remember that guy singing Christian hymns on Metro. Also used to be a young man who walked up and down the aisle and told the plan of salvation.

I just posted the meme. I did not create, or proofread, it.
