A Wisconsin man is accused of repeatedly shocking a male dance instructor with a stun gun, claiming the instructor was a "sinner" who "defiles married women."

A Dane County prosecutor says 59-year-old Kevin Johnson of Baraboo hastily arranged a dance lesson at the instructor's Madison home and showed up with a stun gun and sledgehammer last Friday.

A criminal complaint says Johnson told a detective that his church does not condone touching while dancing

Really the funniest thing about this article is "Baraboo".

I kept expecting to find out that the offender was an Australian pygmy. I mean, "a Baraboo man" . . . what did it make *you* think?

I believe that the dance instructor should insist upon a charge-back on this transaction. Preferably at the same voltage.

PS: I wonder what'd happen if he insisted that the police photographer was stealing his soul with the mug shots?

So his church DOES condone attacking people with stun guns and possibly threatening them with sledgehammers?

They turn the other cheek... yours, with lethal force.

Gods there are some desperately frightening people out there.

I wish these churches and their followers would concentrate on policing their own lives

Hey, as long as they're consistent with their beliefs!
