This is pretty weird. Let me summarize - what Dorn did was unacceptable, but he should have gotten a pass because he is Christian. Do I have this right?

We see videos of attacks by people unfairly nicknamed "Karens" just about every day, and they are often fired by their employers. That is the right thing to do for an employer. But if the perp happens to say he is doing this in Jesus's name, he should get a slap on the wrist? Why? Because he was taught to be self-righteous and overbearing by his good Christian parents?

Uh uh. Whether you like it or not, Christians do not own the world, or America, or any locality therein. They live in the same society as the rest of us, and they need to obey the same secular laws and norms in public as the rest of us. Being Christian is not a get out of jail free card.
