Hi everyone! My name is Rusty Coonfield and here is my BLOG. That's short for "weblog" to you. Kind of like an online journal which may or may not include subjects like: how to use a Macintosh computer, cool and useful websites, new technologies, photos of outdoor pursuits and my family and friends. Please add you comments and have fun! -Rusty

Priest punches and curses skateboarders in Australia

WARNING: this gets ugly. Lots of vile cursing but mostly from the priest!! Its amazing that in this video we see a priest exhibit homophobia, extreme nationalism, racism, and violent behaviour. Scary to think that he has been leading a community. My understanding is that he has been dismissed. I will try to find some news about it. NPR ran a blurb on it.
I have to say that the skateaboarders didn't exactly turn the other cheek though. As you can see they continue to taunt him and rile him up. I know they were seeing how far they could make him go. People have to remember that kids have to LEARN respect. Someone has to teach them properly. This guy is not a good candidate to do that for sure! I think god would have been excited to see the grace and beauty of skateboarding from his front steps but i guess the priest didn't think so.
