A 61-year-old Florida minister has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a 16-year-old girl during an episode of road rage. Stephen Grosso struck the girl in the head with his “Christian identity badge,” News Channel 8 reports.

Police say that Grosso was upset with the teen for driving too close to him and got out of his car to confront her as she stopped to let a school bus pass. He was reportedly holding the metal police-like badge as he approached her, and when the girl lowered her window, he reached in and struck her in the forehead.

"Christian Identity Badge"? WTF?

1. Florida Man gets religion, and has the badge to prove it, lol

2. This is the stuff of bad TV drama

Hope this douchenozzle experiences some real consequences.

7. Grosso has since been charged with burglary with simple battery.

I guess reaching into the window counts as burglary.

There was also a mention that flashing the badge could be impersonating a cop. That is probably why she lowered the window. She should sue his cracker pants off.

6. Okay, so "Christian Identity Badge" gets 11 Google results

...most of which reference this story, and some of which are rhetorical - "I am asking you to wear –– at all times –– love as your Christian identity badge" or "Baptism is like a Christian's identity badge".

So, WTF is a "Christian Identity Badge"?

Is it worn by your Christian Identity Badger?

16. Good thinking as usual, but try "christian id badge",

and set a custom date range to eliminate the OP story.

9. "God made me do it"

It’s the new Trumpian Christian mantra.

10. That would be GAWD -DUH, the White Cracker God.

12. That's why I clarified the description by adding the word "Trumpian"

I’m not bashing all Christians. Just MAGAT ones.

13. related to JEEEZUS -UH

I've always wondered what is the purpose of that big GRUNT added to some names by the fanatics.

[lunatica]

14. To give it a poetry ending by adding one last syllable at the end, UH!

It makes it all rhyme, UH!

Don't let off that button.

11. His last name is very telling

17. I believe he's a christian even without the silly badge.

[TeamPooka]

18. He was pretending to be a cop by flashing the badge just to assert power over the other driver.
