The city of Cottonwood, Arizona, was treated to a brawl in the parking lot of the Walmart this weekend.  The headline is that the folks involved are part of a Christian band.

The video then shows a police officer being put in a headlock and knocked to the ground.

The sound of Taser fire is heard. Police say pepper spray was deployed and that at least three shots were fired in an apparent struggle for an officer’s gun.

Several times on the video the group appears to surrender, but starts fighting again. The melee goes for several minutes until backup officers arrive and make arrests.

Police charged four members of the family with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.

Goodness gracious, we haven’t seen that much fun since the Palin family all got drunk.

Now here’s the best part.  The name of the Christian band is Matthew 24 NOW.  They even have a Facebook page.

For those of you who didn’t spend every summer in Vacation Bible School, Matthew 24 is Jesus warning the disciples of the end times.   Matthew reports that Jesus says some bad crap is coming.

However, Jesus also says that nobody, not even him or the angels, knows when it is coming.  Only God knows.  So when you go around predicting the end times, gnashing of teeth, pestilence, and whatnot you’re messin’ with Jesus.

Which may be what the fighting was all about.  I dunno.  Stranger things have happened in the Walmart parking lot.

Thanks to Bernie for the heads up.
