3. A whole lot of the church's money was about to turn up missing, so he stages an insurance job so he could replace the money before getting caught and going to jail.
4. With his standard of living VASTLY outpacing his income, he stages a robbery, then fences the jewelry, leaving him with a few hundred thou in profit to support his lifestyle for another year.
5, 6,
Seriously, who wears that many gold chains anywhere, let alone church? Mr. T ?

Why is a thread started on an Onion article and why would it be on the radio?
I start each day with Onion News so as to laugh to keep from crying. It's the only news source that I trust completely.Quote:

I heard it on 95.5 or the like Tues on the way to work.
The church service was being live-streamed, so the robbery is on Youtube. https://youtu.be/KVb_eePjXoI
The priest also mentioned that he drives a Rolls.
And from a couple other Onion-esque news sources.

He was in the news a few weeks back,Kinda like a 20/20 special showcasing his excesses and justifying,I am thinking somebody outside of his flock saw the opportunity and took advantage of it.
He has a collection of exotic sports cars.
It make you wonder what draws people to that,there is a large church by me where the pastor arrives in a private helicopter in order to give Sunday services.
Its different with Kilpatrick though,because he violated the public trust,in the church aspect,people can just walk away,not so much if you are invested and living in the city.
Onion is America's finest news source.Quote:
