LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Tony Alamo, a one-time street preacher whose apocalyptic ministry grew into a multimillion-dollar network of businesses and property before he was convicted in Arkansas of sexually abusing young girls he considered his wives, has died in prison. He was 82.

Once known for designing elaborately decorated jackets for celebrities including Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, Alamo died on Tuesday at a federal prison hospital in Butner, North Carolina, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
 
The disgraced preacher was convicted in 2009 on charges that he took underage girls across state lines for sex, including a 9-year-old. The judge who sentenced him to the maximum 175 years in prison told him: "One day you will face a higher and a greater judge than me. May he have mercy on your soul."

Alamo started preaching along the California streets in the 1960s, advocating a mixture of virulent anti-Catholicism and apocalyptic rhetoric. He claimed God authorized polygamy, professed that gays were the tools of Satan, and believed girls were fit for marriage even at a young age.

No doubt where he formulated some of his fucked-up and twisted views of reality...... for instance:

"Hillary Ordered The Final Massacre At Waco"

9. Met him a couple of times in nw Ar.,

He was surrounded by his young, be smitten followers, he was decked out in bedazzled leisure suits like a wannabe Elvis.
His aura screamed "anti-Christian" ugly.
I made him uncomfortable.

Thanks God.
& Healing, strength & clear thinking to those deceived by these cons.

12. He sold those bedazzled jackets for a heck of a lot of money.

They already went for a mint on ebay before he died, probably they'll go up now that he's gone. Stuff associated with notorious people always does.

11. Wouldn't it be ironic if his crank religious rants were true and he was judged accordingly
