Brother Nathanael

A couple days before Brother Nathanael had his run-in with police at Trader Joe's, Rhine watched and photographed him at the end of his shift - at 6 p.m., he put away his giant crucifix, folded up his stuff and left that traffic island he screams from when not yelling at little old Jewish ladies at Trader Joe's. And then Rhine noticed that Brother Nathanael had dropped something:

... What Brother Nathanael dropped was a prepaid card with a scratch box for 30 free minutes from a gay adult website. Now there are many reasons as to why he could have had the prepaid card: It could be a prop he uses when he preaches that everyone is going to hell, or just something that was handed to him by a random solicitor, or maybe it actually was his. ...

Lyss is there with a camera as Brookline Police try to get Coolidge Corner fixture Brother Nathanael to leave Trader Joe's patrons alone:

Seems his signs and loud praising of Jesus was weirding out the customers. They complained to the staff, who in turn called the authorities. ...

Overheard in Boston:

"You do see why the customers might feel threatened or harassed when they enter or leave the store and you're shouting at them about Jesus... and why they complained to the staff, who had to call us..."

In Colorado, they take shots at him.
