Weird Re-inactors

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

I was just remembering a very disturbing individual from my highschool days. There was this guy who would haul around a cross wearing a "crown" of barbed wire.

Can anyone else comment or explain such a masochistic display of faith/fanaticism?

Was he a student? That's pretty out-there for a highschool student. We once had a bunch of black kids come to school in wool clothes and chains to remember slavery or something. At lunch they "picked cotton" on the quad.

Did he do this all the time, or just during Easter? In many 3rd world countries, a lot of people get themselves nailed to a cross during the Easter period....can't remember which exact day though.

Well this guy would also go into Tirades about how Ronald Wilson Reagan was 666 and the emporer Nero rebourn, and that these were the end times. Freaky dude in all.
