Unmasked man accused of ‘trespassing’ confronts parish priest in Washington state — BRAWL ERUPTS

An unmasked man accused of trespassing by the parish priest at a church in Lakewood, Washington charged the altar after he was asked to leave, triggering a horde of congregants to join the melee and call for police and security.

The man is seen striding up to the altar, denying he is “a trespasser in this church,” briefly turning to face the camera, and ordering an unseen person to “keep your hands off me.”

The chaotic footage shows other members of the public involved in the rumpus unmasked - making it unclear what prompted the call for the interloper to be removed in the first place.

What happened to: “as we forgive those who trespass against us”?
