Bible-quoting whip-its fan attacks musician with whipped cream container, cops say
BY GWEN FILOSA
Three weeks after Terry Backus allegedly stomped a homeless man while inhaling whip-its, he used a commercial grade metal container to strike a 76-year-old man in the head, police say.
Backus, a self-styled Bible-quoting preacher from North Carolina, admitted to Key West Police Officer Carter Sims he indeed struck Mustafa Abadal-Khallaq Tuesday afternoon while in a small park at 200 Front St. in Truman Annex. Backus was booked on a charge of felony aggravated battery.
He spoke of God and how he was a holy man, etc., Sims wrote.
A witness said Backus struck Abadal-Khallaq in the head with the container and was ranting about Jesus Christ the savior and how this was his world, Sims wrote.

(38,449 posts)Why?...If the bible says..."Thou Shalt Not Kill"....then why does this fellow so called "holy man" hit someone else in the head with a container...and rant about whose world it is...(oh, if we could talk to Jesus, I doubt that he would approve of this kind of behavior...

Small canisters of compressed nitrous oxide intended for cooking and baking purposes, which are inhaled for a momentary high.
