Story here

From the article:

"The defendant was banging on the front window yelling at her that she better believe in Jesus and she was not going to leave until she did believe in Jesus," Ada County Prosecutor Dave Rothcheck said. He said the victim, identified in court only as "A.G.," opened her door to tell Haragan to leave and to write down her license plate number.

That's when the suspect slapped her in the face and dragged her to the ground by her hair, Roscheck said.

1. Jesus Christ on a cheese sandwich!

That's a love of your lord and savior!

Sorry. It's not funny.

2. That's traditional Judeo-Christian relations.

Except she didn't kill her.

3. Apparantly the demand to convert or die is dead in some places.

4. I suppose that we should be grateful

that this Christian "full of love" did not have a gun.

Religious fanatics are more and more a danger to
average people, because she might have done the
same thing to a Buddhist or Hindu, imo.

5. Not to blame the victim

Because it's impossible to say when a mistake can lead to a beating. However, as a PSA. Never ever open your door when a crazy person is on the other side of it. Call 911 and explain a crazy person is banging on your door and issuing death threats.

ETA only if that person is actually issuing or had issued death threats.

6. Blaming the victim is what you just did.

7. There is a fine line between advice and blame

it's not always easy to see which side you are going to fall on.
