Cap.
To cap.
Capping.
The state of having been capped.


I really have no clue about the proper grammatical abbreviation for "capping".


The truth is... and I'm sure everyone will be disappointed ... but... I really don't know very much about gangsters.
I have some caps in my mouth or do those count..... maybe it's crowns....idk.....lol

It would have been better for the pastor to address the parents regarding the lie of Santa, not the children.

I just have a huge issue with abuse of children in any way. This guy is being abusive to the psyche of children. My tolerance for that is zero....esp from people who should know better.
Ah, so violence is the obvious solution. I see. Don't like something, commit violence. Sounds like something the Hillary camp would do.

I was actually commenting on the idea that you were a huge Trump supporter whose comments reflected those i called Hillary supporters. I thought it was funny. But since you wanted to get serious instead then we can discuss your desire to violently assault people you are of the opinion are mistreating kids. Tell me more about your violent urges then. Any other people you would like to violate?

Oh shut up. I said I might have. But I'll tell you this...if came down to me defending my child from someone like this the situation would be fairly fluid as to the outcome.

One question....what would you do if it was your kid and for that matter if you were out with them and they were singing a Christmas Carol and some guy walked up to them and said God wasn't real and your kid started crying. Tell me what you would do......

And for that matter I hope you not only take a stand for God but for your child. I also believe your stand on this would change if you ever had or cared for kids. Yes, there is always the right way to handle things like this, but Sirk was being brutally honest of what he would do...I honestly can say I would probably tell him to stick his belief somewhere the sun doesn't shine and to leave us alone. There is nothing wrong with that. Like someone mentioned you bring it to the parents attention not bring the child into it, that's not right

I just saw the video on Facebook. What a gluteus maximus. He should have been escorted out by Mall security because he was harassing shoppers

Paul Blart - Mall Cop would have handled the situation appropriately.

God is so good for keeping me out of the mall that day. No bail money needed.

That SOB needs his clock cleaned.
So telling kids the truth (as tasteless as it was)= Hateful and non-Christian
Clean a clock, physical violence= Christian and ok?
HHHMMM, makes sense I guess.

I get it. Santa Claus is a lie and all that junk but this isn't the platform to deliver that message. This is just harassing shoppers. If I'm the owner of the business you're harassing my customers then you can leave or you can go to jail

I thought it was pretty funny. I mean, if he feels convicted in sharing the truth of Jesus Christ in this manner, I can't really condemn him. He isn't wrong... It is sinful to say something that is untruthful. Santa Claus is being mixed with the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

I get it... "It's make believe and fun [to lie to kids and make them believe in something you know isn't real/true]..." and you still "tell them the true meaning of Christmas", blah blah blah... A lot of times doing sinful things are a lot of fun... I wish it wasn't, but that is the allure of sin to our carnal nature...

I think if the mall security told him to stop or leave, this pastor would have. He obviously seems convicted in his beliefs even if he should have tweaked his message. As someone else said, he should have directed his message to the parents.

Isn't it ironic? I had a friend in school who would wear anti-abortion t-shirts and anti-homosexuality t-shirts. A lot of people who accept abortion and homosexuality would tend to want to get violent with him... There will be people who hate the truth... the truth offends them and convicts them... It's easier attack the messenger than it is to accept wrongdoing... that is why some people resort to wanting to be violent...

Violence is probably not necessary in this situation. He needs to be escorted out by security. If it escalates farther then the police can get involved

I man calls himself a pastor & video's himself doing something a true christian should have already done humbly & with love.

What was missing in the video? A true christian.

Wait a minute..... I wonder how many in the Santa line went to church? Which one spoke out properly, being a good servant of the Lord?

How many did that in here?

No nasty statements to make here..... just unanswered questions.

Next people will start saying the tooth fairy doesn't exist.
I hope she doesn't retire any time soon, I've still all got my teeth
but some day I hope to cash them in. :)

There might be some people who want to get violent with anyone who proclaims the tooth fairy doesn't exist... better be careful! At the very least though, the tooth fairy doesn't distract attention away from the birth of the Savior. :p
