Anti-Gay Pastor Convicted Of Obscenity For Masturbating In Public

[cash__whatiwant]

A prominent Louisiana-based Christian pastor known for his anti-gay stance was convicted of obscenity yesterday after being caught masturbating at a public park near a children's playground last year.

As NOLA.com reports, Rev. Grant Storm was sentenced to three years' probation after the incident in Lafreniere Park. Storm is quoted as calling public masturbation "a thrill" in his confession. However, despite an eyewitness account cited by the New Orleans Times-Picayune which stated that 55-year-old pastor had been "looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down" at the time of his arrest, authorities denied any suspicions that he was a pedophile.

"Lafreniere Park is a public place," Judge Ross LaDart is quoted as saying when he announced the verdict, according to the publication. "Lafreniere Park is a place that was chosen by this defendant to engage in a history of masturbation."

At the time of his arrest, Storms told officers on the scene he was attempting to urinate in a bottle inside van. He later admitted to concocting the story. "I'm confessing to having my hand in my pants," Storms is quoted by Best Of New Orleans as saying at the time. "That's all I'm going to say."

3. "to engage in a history of masturbation"

I don't know what that phrase is supposed to mean.

But I'm not familiar with the history of masturbation. I guess it was invented by Hezekiah Bation of Philadelphia in 1837. "Master Bation" as he was known, was a former apprentice to Benjamin Franklin, and he wrote in his journal, "I have discovered a most expeditious way to perform the conjugal act alone."

Many medical experts at the time scoffed at Master Bation, but he persisted and perfected it in time for a demonstration at the Boston Mercantile Exposition of 1840, where crowds gathered to learn this new technique.

4. You know, I have nothing against masturbation.

I'm a 60 something guy and I learned how to masturbate about a half a century ago. But I never have had any urge whatsoever to do it in public. Some things are best left private!

5. All men have a history of history of masturbation

The vast majority of us don't do a Peewee while looking at children playing or in public.

I don't think the law was blind in this case. It's eyes were watching god.

16. His real problem is

he's in LSU country, and apparently, he's a Penn State fan.

17. imagine the tortured self-loathing inner world this poor man lives in. I say poor man because

when you consider how far this man goes to escape the reality of his inner self that haunts him every single moment of every single day of his life - He is more to be pitied then despised.
