There was no threat. And the Bible does not suggest that people should lose their cool and confront others for harassing them. Good grief, look at what happened with the early church martyrs. Remind me where they defended themselves.

One doesn't need to drive a bus towards a protester to speak with them. And discernment should tell you it's not a good idea to do what he did.

It's good that he recognizes that it was a bad idea and he wouldn't do it again, but unfortunately, the damage has already been done.

No one is pretending or suggesting this is the unforgivable or unpardonable sin. Stop it. We're also not making excuses just because of the role and status of the person.

Source for that claim, please. The articles I've read say he has been in front of the church protesting. I haven't read that he's followed people around town. If true, those people should file a report with the police.
