Thompson Brothers
Pastor Joshua Thompson and his twin, Caleb were teaching Bible study session at a Summer Camp by the Church to draw the Mary-Worshiping Mexicans away from their idolatrous ways, into True Christianity. Well, the little wetback:
Louie Guerrero was spewing hate towards God, not agreeing with what the Bible says (The Truth), and so it was time for the Thompson brothers to take action. Good thing the brothers knew their Bible well: Proverbs 22
Proverbs
23 IT'S IN THE BIBLE!! See? God wants us to beat children with rods if they are disobedient. We MUST do this to drive out the evil spirits. The Thompson brothers are heros and deserve medals of honor, but unfortunatly the Judicial system of America is all ran by the Fag Agenda and atheists. GOD TOLD THEM TO DO IT!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What can we do about this outrage? Contact your congressmen and senators IMMEDIATELY!!! Write to the President and tell him that we must revoke the charges and instead of punishing them, we should reward them! The Filthy wetback should also be deported back to his filth ridden home, everyone knows as, as Mexico. You can also fill out these petitions. Petition to Texas Parole Board ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brothers get prison in Bible-school beating caseAssociated Press
Pastor Joshua Thompson was ordered to serve 26 years for injury to a child and 20 years for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the beating of Louie Guerrero, who was 11 at the time. The sentences will run concurrently and he could be eligible for parole in 13 years. The pastor's twin brother, Caleb, 23, was sentenced to concurrent 14-year sentences on the same convictions, meaning he could be eligible for parole in seven years. The Thompsons had sought probation while prosecutors asked that they be sentenced to prison for at least 30 years. "Justice was served," said Travis County prosecutor Beth Payan. Carlos Garcia, a defense attorney for Caleb Thompson, said the sentences did not surprise him. "You never know what a jury is going to do," Garcia said. "It's a volatile subject matter. Was it justice? Only time will tell." Prosecutors had said the brothers beat Guerrero, now 12, so badly that he spent a week in intensive care under the threat of kidney failure and needed a blood transfusion. The jury took about seven hours over two days to decide the sentences. The victim's mother, Norma Arellano, and stepfather, Genevevo Arellano, held hands while the sentences were announced. The brothers showed no emotion as they were ordered to spend time in prison. The brothers' father, Hank Thompson, leads the fundamentalist Capitol City Baptist Church where Joshua Thompson ministered to Spanish-speaking members. Several members of the congregation sat in stunned silence, while Joshua Thompson's wife, Maressa, sat in the front row behind the defendant and cried. Relatives of the victim and defendants all left the courtroom quickly after the sentences were announced. Guerrero and a doctor who treated him said he was hit at least 100 times. During the trial, jurors saw graphic photos of the boy's back with red and purple bruises and blood spots from scrapes or puncture wounds. The brothers admitted the beating but disputed the blow count and its intensity. Joshua Thompson said Guerrero's parents had given him permission to punish the boy and that he didn't intend to inflict serious injuries. Guerrero's parents deny telling him he could hit their child. During the sentencing phase, both said they could abide by any terms of probation. Neither had a criminal record before their conviction. Caleb Thompson, who held Guerrero down while Joshua Thompson beat him, said he was sorry for causing the boy's injuries. Joshua Thompson had said he planned to step down as a pastor at the church, even if was able to remain free on probation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Texas boy allegedly beaten in Bible studyJuly 13, 2002 Posted: 4:13 PM EDT (2013 GMT)
AUSTIN, Texas (CNN) -- Austin police arrested a church pastor and his twin brother Tuesday, alleging they used a tree branch to beat unconscious an 11-year-old who misbehaved in Bible class. Joshua Thompson, 22, a pastor at Capitol City Baptist Church, and his brother Caleb turned themselves in Tuesday and were released on $25,000 bond, KEYE-TV reported. They were charged with injury to a child, a felony punishable by up to life in prison, the station reported. The alleged beating took place July 3, according to reports. The brothers thought the boy did not take his Bible verses seriously enough during a church-sponsored summer camp for Spanish-speaking students, officials said.
The alleged abuse took place at a private home, said Bobby Taylor, the child's attorney. "They ... cut a branch off a tree, made my client lay on the bed, and beat him," Taylor said. Court records obtained by Reuters alleged that the beating lasted for 90 minutes, broke blood vessels and caused the boy's kidneys to fail. The brothers allowed the child to take a break in the restroom during the reported beating, documents said. Joshua Thompson beat the child while Caleb Thompson held him down, Reuters reported, citing court records. They reportedly turned up a radio to drown out the child's cries, the news service reported. Afterward, the two took the boy back to his home, where Joshua Thompson told the parents the child needed further discipline, the AP reported. After the Thompsons left, the boy's parents discovered bruises and cuts covering his entire back, as well as bruises on his neck, buttocks and legs, AP reported. They called police and took their son to a hospital, where he remained in fair condition Tuesday, the news service said. Capitol City Baptist does not support corporal punishment, said Jerald Finney, Joshua Thompson's lawyer.
