Jason Steen

River Road Church of Christ had a big event planned for Sunday with an egg hunt – and just couldn’t allow a homeless individual to catch some sleep in their parking lot, so they had the 54 year old black man arrested before the morning service. Guess there really was no room at the inn. They didn’t invite him in for service, or offer to feed them, just straight to jail.
