'Lord Jesus Christ' Hit By Car In Northampton, Mass.

[Ian David]

NORTHAMPTON, Mass.

The victim has probably forgiven the woman who ran him down in a Northampton crosswalk. The police haven't.

Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed the street in Northampton.

Officers responding to Tuesday's incident checked the 50-year-old Belchertown man's ID and discovered that, indeed, Lord Jesus Christ is his legal name.

He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries.

3. I saw that

Had to pass it on to a friend who got a chuckle from it. Obviously, it was the name that he chuckled at, not the incident itself.

4. Render unto the DMV what is the DMV's

If He sues, they've gotta televise it.

"Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you You?"

6. ... Christ, 50, of Belchertown, was taken to Cooley Dickinson Hospital for treatment of minor

injuries following the 3:30 p.m. accident. He was treated at the hospital and then released ... Christ was in a marked crosswalk at the time of the accident, Savino said ... http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/05/lord_jesus_christ_suffers_mino.html

Scott Savino appears to have replaced Captain Patenaud at the Northampton PD last December; see http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/12/northampton_native_scott_savin.html

8. That's hilarious.

Wouldn't happen in MO, though. There are laws on the books preventing people from changing their names to all manner of things.

Maybe I should look for a job in the NE. They seem to have less of a stick up their collective asses.

9. Best Comment: from Jalopnik

Catholics in the Belchertown area are reportedly wearing wooden crosswalks around their necks until he returns.

11. Thanks! I'll be passing that one around work...

Lots of good local scenery, especially Hollywood Blvd. Where a Jesus-looking guy wearing a diaper wouldn't rate a second look...
