BAM! Merry Christmas! (The Tony Alamo Cult Is Done)

It's amazing how long even simple justice (because this one wasn't difficult) can take in this country:

"Court awards stunning $525 million to victims of cult leader and convicted felon Tony Alamo"

I know - according to legend - there are no "victims" amongst God-fearing America, and especially none worth caring about:

But I do, and I will, and, Goddamnit, I'm celebrating with them.

It just feels Damn Good to hear it,...

Just Call Me Angel In The Mourning

"Evangelist Tony Alamo, owner of a multi-million dollar 'church' that sold elaborate clothing to celebrities such as Michael Jackson, has been convicted of a series of disgusting crimes involving sex with girls as young as 9 years old. Five women testified at his trial that Alamo transported them across state lines to have sex with them when they were young girls. Alamo will probably end up spending the rest of his life in prison — and he’s comparing himself to Jesus."

Believers Will Follow Any Scumbag

"FOUKE, Ark. -- Federal authorities conducting a child-porn investigation raided the headquarters Saturday of a ministry run by a convicted tax evader once labeled by prosecutors as a polygamist who preys on girls and women.

Social workers interviewed children who live at the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries complex, which critics call a cult, to find out whether they were abused. The two-year investigation involves a law that prohibits the transportation of children across state lines for criminal activity, said Tom Browne, who runs the FBI office in Little Rock."
