Related: About this forum"Christian family band who sang about End Times arrested after deadly gunfight in Arizona Walmart
parking lot"
An evangelical Christian family band that believed in a coming Jesus Apocalypse was arrested last Saturday following a deadly gunfight outside a Walmart parking lot in Cottonwood, Arizona. Nine suspects were involved in a violent brawl that left at least one person dead. Suspects arrested from the Gaver family included Peter Gaver, 55, and his sons, Jeremiah, 29, and Nathaniel, 27, all from the small-time Christian band Matthew 24 Now.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety reports that Cottonwood police officers arrived at the Walmart after a store employee was assaulted during an encounter with the family. The Gavers had been living out of a large van with Idaho license plates in the parking lot for the past few days, and entered the retail store to use the toilet when trouble ensued.
The whole sordid tale at:

Where were Hezekiah and Zebulon?

I wonder if that's near the "Blessed are the peacemakers" hippie stuff.
I'll have to listen more closely in church this weekend.

White Trash Trifecta, by the way, saw them at the Troubadour last weekend.
