[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note that he was on his way to Holy Redeemer - I'm not surprised. That's a very conservative Catholic church and many people who live in the immediate vicinity send their kids to school there. I'm Catholic, live nearby, would never consider it for my family. It's awesome, though, that neighbors and others who knew him turned him in, especially since he was actively trying to evade identification by hiding his bike and his clothing.

I will note as someone who has spent 15 years jogging or walking along the extension of the Capital Crescent trail in Chevy Chase as well as Beach Drive in Kensington that many if not most bikers in this area are rage-a-holics (and white men.) I once saw a biker hit an elderly person's leashed dog and pedal away from the scene, screaming at the dog owner.[/quote]

The WTOP story states that he couldn't find a pastor at his own church, so he decided to pass by Holy Redeemer instead.  (It would have been great if he had talked to the Nigerian priest there).  Anyway, he couldn't have been a parishioner at Holy Redeemer.  Regardless of where he is a parishioner, as a fellow Catholic, I am glad that he wanted to see a priest.  This guy knows that his life in Kensington is ruined.  His job and his reputation are lost.  I do think that he knows that he did wrong.  I know a few people with anger management problems and they know when they have lost it.  What he did is wrong and I do hope that he gets the help that he is now seeking.  Yes, he deserves punishment, too.[/quote]
