Man claiming he left manure for Mnuchin compares his actions to Jesus's

A man who claims he delivered a package of horse manure to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's home to protest the GOP's tax bill has compared his actions to those of Jesus.

“In the long run, if we don’t do stuff like this, what are we going to have left?” Robby Strong told southern California public radio station KPCC.

“What I did, I would like to compare to what Jesus did when he went into the temple and overturned the tables of the money-changers, who were exploiting the people financially in the name of religion."

He added: “I feel like that’s what the GOP has done to the American people.”

Reports published Sunday said a package addressed to Mnuchin's home in Los Angeles contained horse manure. 

Authorities, including the Secret Service and a Los Angeles bomb squad, responded and police discovered the package contained horse manure after unwrapping it.

Strong posted a picture to Facebook of the card he says it included, in which he wrote: “We’re returning the ‘gift’ of the Christmas tax bill. It’s bulls‑‑‑. Warmest Wishes, The American People.”

Strong reportedly delivered manure to two homes in Los Angeles he thought belonged to Mnuchin, according to The Washington Post.

In a Facebook comment, he wrote that the package was "pure organic horses‑‑‑, just like everything that administration’s done so far."

"Bomb scares certainly were not my intention, but maybe they should be a little scared, eh," he wrote.

According to the Post, the Secret Service interviewed the main who claimed to have sent the package, but Strong was not arrested.

“It was a gift-wrapped package of poo,” Strong told AL.com. “Is there a law that you can’t drop off a box of poo? Not really.”

Congress passed the GOP's tax plan last week and President Trump signed it into law on Friday.

That is just wrong. Republican Congressmen and a Senator have almost been murdered by fanatics this past year. Why is the Secret Service not arresting this one ?

"who were exploiting the people financially"

In the Leftiverse, "exploting" means letting people keep their money.

There were sheep and goats in the manger 2k years ago. Joseph worked to keep it clean, no doubt. I guess that’s a comparison.

Liberals are still free to refuse a tax cut and pay more than what the law requires.

“not arrested”
Wow!

Well, I hope he’s sued for the cost of police response to his malicious act.

Methinks Mr. Strong has misplaced priorities.

Manure is very capable of transmitting disease.Therefore this can surely be prosecuted by the DOJ.

I must have missed the parable of Jesus and the Manure Spreader in Sunday School.

Do his patients know they're being treated by a psychologically unbalanced delusional terrorist?

Perhaps they should. I believe his patients should be aware of his mental infirmities.

In the parable of the fig tree in the vineyard, the servant tells the owner, “Wait another year, while I dig around it and put on manure. Then, if it doesn’t not bear fruit, you may cut it down.”

However, in that case the moneychangers were taking the people’s money for their own use.


As I understand it, and I may very well be wrong, the temple only took one kind of coin as an offering. The money changers had lots of these coins which they exchanged at a big profit to themselves. Oddly, there used to be a similar scam that involved Mexican parking meters. It took a small coin that had disappeared from circulation. The guys who would watch you car for a dollar or two, had plenty of them, which were worth a nickel or so. But it was better than getting your license plate removed by the cops.

“I hope no one sends Robby Strong something a bit more interesting.”

A friend of mine would have bought a dump truck full of it and dumped it on his front lawn.
