Bobby Leonard is the pastor of Bible Baptist Tabernacle preached that if he were on a jury, he would acquit a man who raped a woman if the woman was wearing shorts.
He began by complaining that too many women wore shorts in Pigeon Ford where he and I his wife went to the outlet malls. Pigeon Forge is where Dollywood is located. He claims he counted the women in the parking lot wearing shorts and there were more women in shorts than in pants or dresses. He then went on to explain that a man is a man and rape is just doing what comes naturally, of course.
“I wanted to see if that’s right. And I counted. Try that. You find more women going to those places with shorts than you will women with pants and dresses put together. Try it. If you got time, try it,” he recommended to his congregants before making his rape comment.
“You know I used to say this. I haven’t said this [in a] long time, you ready? I said if you dress like [this] and you get raped and I’m on the jury, he’s gonna go free. I’m right, you know, because a man’s a man.”
Sadly, this man runs a school, the private Tabernacle Christian school which received $900,000 in vouchers, tax money for public education that gets redirected to private schools, further degrading public education.
