Church Charging Bearded Wonder Scooped Up by Bondi’s Boys, Too

Oh, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. First, as Ed posted, the two ringleaders of Sunday’s assault on the Cities Church service were arrested.

Those two were the most important. They were the head of the snake, if you will, and that had to come off and quickly.

Almost as soon as I’d wished to my friends on X that I hoped the bearded freak was next…

Oooo, I hope the loudmouthed beard freak is up next. https://t.co/i8CeDagYqY

In his post (on the Don Lemon situation – DO read it), John has a GREAT picture of the volatile and voluble William Kelly as he was taken into custody.

If you haven’t had a chance to subject yourself to any snippet of Mr Kelly’s self-filmed diatribe as he charged into the church and began verbally assaulting parishioners who thought they were there for a Sunday service, do see how much of this you can stomach. He also scared the crap out of the kids with his screaming, lunatic ranting, frightening some of them into hysterical tears.

You’ll have a good idea why I am positively giddy at the thought of him being arrested, even though I’m sure his fever dreams are now fashioning him into some sort of martyr for the cause.

🚨JUSTICE 🚨

William Kelly has been ARRESTED by the FBI.

Kelly filmed himself attacking Christians in their church pews, spitting on them and threatening them because of their race and religion

You can see the terrified children in his video.

This deranged lunatic is a scumbag of the first order who is living large in his moment as a LARPing Nazi-fighter.

He has also reportedly reworked a less-than-stellar personal biography à la Tim Walz to turn his less-than-appealing actual persona into a more dramatic and newsworthy facade.

Supposedly, none of his resume, as recited to the press and admiring public during this appearance, is remotely true.

William Kelly, better known as DaWokeFarmer, got booted from the U.S. Army with a bad-conduct discharge.

He was in from about 2007 to 2011, but his stories don’t add up—no combat infantry vet, no Afghanistan deployment, no Warrant Officer gig.

Reality check: He was just an HR… pic.twitter.com/xditx6dbFd

…He was in from about 2007 to 2011, but his stories don’t add up—no combat infantry vet, no Afghanistan deployment, no Warrant Officer gig.

Reality check: He was just an HR admin (MOS 42A), zero combat or overseas action.

Back in 2008, court-martialed for stealing, which led to:

– Dropped to Private (E-1).

– That punitive BCD, basically “other than honorable” with major baggage.

Dude fabricates his military record, he’s a proven thief, and an alcoholic on top.

Yet this is the fraud the left loves to elevate. Wake up, folks. #StolenValor #Exposed

Then again, someone who could storm a church service, shrieking away as they did so, probably would have no quibbles fabricating an admirable backstory for himself.

Some of you may remember this little video I posted last month, and – surprise! The unhinged assailant chasing this family with vile language over ‘who did you vote for,’ who winds up being snagged by D.C. cops at the scene, is none other than Mr Kelly himself. [NSFW language]

BREAKING – William Kelly, the jobless leftist agitator who spends all day in DC harassing and following DC guardsmen and Trump supporters has finally been arrested after stalking a man with his kids.

So, here we go again with these itinerant nut cases. Who is paying for whack jobs like Kelly, who is supposed to live with his parents in Arizona, to stay in D.C. so he can harass regular people on the streets going about their day, and then travel to Minnesota to be part of the progressive shock troops there?

He is KNOWN to travel across state lines to commit these sorts of crimes and harass people.

There is money behind this vile monster.

One of the ring leaders who stormed into Cities Church has a history of harassing churches. My latest.https://t.co/HfPeBNnC4X pic.twitter.com/iUHWZJZ0OW

The feds absolutely need to crawl up his wazoo and find out where the financial support is coming from, especially now that he’s crossed the Rubicon into physically storming a service. 

…Many on social media, including Deputy Undersecretary of War Justin Overbaugh, immediately identified Kelly as the same man regularly posted outside Hegseth’s church in Washington. Joe Rigney, a founding pastor of Cities Church in St. Paul who also helped plant Christ Church in D.C., said Kelly and his fellow protestors have regularly disrupted their D.C. worship services for the past six months.

“They’ll play music or yell and scream and use bullhorns and loud sound amplification to try to prevent us from singing psalms and hearing the Word preached,” he told The Daily Wire. One member was transported to the hospital after a protester screaming into a bullhorn shattered his eardrum. Rigney said Kelly’s tactics have also included screaming obscenities at minors as families are entering the sanctuary, forcing a need for police escorts. “They’ve sought to disrupt Christian worship gatherings now in multiple places.” 

Kelly dared Bondi to arrest him.

Hey William Kelly, you were saying? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/k9n78e2aDi

When she sent officers to do so today, Kelly did the sack of potatoes, non-violent protest slump to make it as tough as possible. He was hoping, no doubt, to trigger the professionals into some sort of action which would be recorded by the whistle-blowing flying monkeys surrounding the police vehicles. But, as ever, they were too smart to fall for it.

Christ Church is happy to see him perp walked. ‘Limited and repetitive vocabulary‘ is so sublimely beautiful a smackdown.

To those who have visited or attend Christ Church DC this man is familiar. For months he has been treating our worshipers to his limited and repetitive vocabulary. We celebrate the civil magistrate executing their duty to protect our right to worship by arresting William Kelly… https://t.co/U03X2VtDSV

Maybe this Sunday will be peaceful with an extra round of thankful prayers up.

Keep picking these clowns up and charging them.
