"Nun", nearly naked

Dang, there are some strange and freaky individuals out there...

Story:
California Union City police are looking for a suspect Saturday after he approached three girls outside a church without any clothes on, mercurynews.com reports.

At approximately 4:18 p.m. the suspect drove up to the girls, all between the ages of 5 and 10. The girls were playing in the church parking lot and the man reportedly called out to them, telling them to get in the car, police said.

The man then opened the vehicle door to reveal he was nude except for a blue nun's headpiece. He was covering his genitals with both hands, according to police. The girls fled inside the church.

Attacks against clergy

Since when was the term self-defense limited to fighting back? It is such a common misconseption!

Story:
England: A campaign to counter the rising number of attacks against clergy could be adopted by every diocese within the next three years.

A recent poll of 80 clergy from the Diocese of London found 48 per cent had experienced some sort of violence in the past year.

"We won’t be teaching self-defence moves, it’s not going to be a case of karate chopping-clergy!"

"If they were to try and use self-defence techniques it might place them in even deeper trouble, so the main thing we want to do is teach them how to get away without hurting the other person."
