He's got Jesus now.

Evidently shouting in public is a capital offence in Illinois:

JERSEYVILLE, Illinois A teenager carrying a Bible and shouting "I want Jesus" was shot twice with a police stun gun and later died at a St. Louis hospital, authorities said.

This seems to have been more a Not Followink Ze Orders problem than a police problem with rowdy Christians. But darned if I can see what the kid did to deserve being interfered with, let alone killed.

Odd news to be printed on the eve of All Saints Day.
