Noticed this one before, normally just blasting some Christian stuff out while standing around. Clocked the red MAGA hat before so knew he was obviously a bit of a looper but assumed he was American (has a bit of the look about him). Today on my lunch break I walked passed and he's blasting Trump's speech from last night across the city centre. I got in to a brief exchange asking what he hoped to achieve with that and it quickly escalated in to him screaming at the top of his voice in my face and continuing as I walked away.

I didn't say anything more inflammatory than that I thought it was odd for someone from here (he's not American after all) to attach so much of their personality to a politician from a country thousands of miles away who couldn't care less about him. Made my exit because he was causing such a scene, more the fool me for giving him what he wants – a bit of confrontation – I suppose.

Edit: as someone has correctly pointed out this is him only now he's sporting a beard. Exactly the same way he started shouting and pointing at me like an unhinged maniac

  1. He’s probably curious to find out if his jaw is made of glass.

  2. “I got in to a brief exchange asking what he hoped to achieve with that”

    Answer: “him screaming at the top of his voice in my face”

  3. By speaking to him you gave him exactly what he wanted.
    Attention.

  4. I’m surprised he’s lasted as long as he has there.

  5. I’ve seen him before and give him a wide berth. It’s hard to know how to deal with it – ignoring these folks does nothing since they’re happy to just spew their bile in public even without getting any attention. Confronting them just encourages the behaviour because they love to ‘own the libs’. It’s the same deal with the other shitty preachers in the city centre.

  6. Is this the same nutbar that does the amplified burn-the-gays speeches?

  10. He’s been there for a couple of months now, saw him one day on my lunch break and was genuinely shocked he was wearing a maga hat. Always ironic the bible bashers like him don’t realise he’s literally the biblical definition of the antichrist 🙄

  11. you’d think Trumps EUROPE CAN GET FUCKED might have been an eye opener for the fascist religious crowd here that seemed to like MAGA’s rollback on abortion rights and whatever other deluded reason they have for favouring Trump/MAGA.

    dont get how you can see what hes done in the last month and burned so much ground with European Allies and starting a massive trade war with North American ally Canada. How can you double down on that and preach for him in Belfast? Maybe there all about the rapture and the end of the world and think Jesus second coming is linked to WWIII ? lets get their faster ?

  13. Yep, street preachers are like this.

    Why don’t the wee scrotes target these assholes and they’ll become wee heroes 

  14. Come on. Do you really think it’s odd for someone from the UK to have a vested interest in what’s happening in the US? Sounds like he was completely inappropriate but come on, you were being inflammatory and you know it, it wasn’t just a curious and sincere interaction.

  15. I mean compared to Anna Christian he seems very tamed

  16. You were right to challenge him. Thank you. These are plants and nutters. Scumbags like that need to be sent packing. Should have robbed his hat.

  17. I’ve seen him every time I’ve been in town for the past few weeks, genuinely wonder what he thinks he’s achieving

  18. Over the last few years, I’ve had oodles of fun times by equating MAGA hats with the mark of the beast to devout evangelicals.

    I point out to them that the antichrist will mark the foreheads of the Christians that he has corrupted with the beasts name, and this will damn their immortal souls.

    Not to mention that Satan is usually associated with crimson.

    They usually get either very quiet or irrationally angry.

  19. Shoulda asked him if Jesus would support him looking up to a rapist

    I just don’t get the appeal of Trump, even if I was a racist, a bigot or an idiot, like imagine looking up to someone who looks like he does.

    As my ma says ‘I just don’t get how those Americans can see past that stupid fucking hair’.

  20. He is a total nut job, did he not get hoofed out of UUP before? His Facebook page is a delight! He roams about stormont when assembly is sitting sometimes, no idea who lets him in!

  21. I feel bad for the wee busker that plays across from Nero behind him, trying to do their thing while that numpty stands there blasting his pre-recorded nonsense over loudspeaker. We definitely need to introduce some kind of regulation, so they don’t drag down the tone of the city centre further.

    Dublin has some bye-laws that, if something similar was introduced here, could really help reduce this sort of thing:
    [Link to Dublin Bye-Laws](https://www.gov.ie/pdf/?file=https://assets.gov.ie/243018/cdb213ff-54bd-408c-ba6a-ba930ce59d1f.pdf#page=null)

    1.(a) A person may not perform in a public place using Amplification without a Permit To Use Amplification and a Performance Permit issued by the Council.

    5. All permits granted pursuant to these Bye-Laws will contain a photograph of the Permit Holder and must be on display and clearly visible at all times during a performance in a public place. Permits may only be used by the performer named on the permit, and may not be used by, or transferred to, any other person.

    13. The use of backing tracks is not permitted in any circumstances.

    21. A Street Performer shall not perform within 50 metres of another performer. 25. A Street Performer must not use lewd, offensive or racist language or conduct (including song lyrics) as part of his/her act.

    Implementing even a few of these could cut down on the disruptive “performances”, especially when they’re literally playing a backing track without adding anything like this ejit. It’s frustrating for everyone else trying to perform or enjoy the city centre.

  22. He should be charged with being a public nuisance.
    I’ve seen people lifted for less.

  23. Free speech is a think like, until he breaks the law he will be protected

  24. Only a good fearing “Christian” would support someone who thinks it’s ok to just grab a woman in pher p@ssy. Jesus loves sex offenders too.

  26. I saw him a few hours ago in front of a Jesus flag and asked what Jesus would think of him supporting a rapist. He started yapping about how it’s not true and the deep state this and that…

    There’s no reasoning with people like that. Absolute clown.

  27. Did anyone say or do this to him – https://youtu.be/SlaWolAXlXw?si=1WPsHS01sC_UxLZx

    I would normally advocate that these people be locked up, or something but that just gives them a platform. Best thing to do is ignore them or say your views aren’t wanted here, or it is not right for you to be trying to impose your views on others. Better still, tell him to go to the US – he’ll be at home. They need told to not try impose their views on others, when we could try to instill our opinion unto him.

    What a clown. Just seen 2 x NI videos of loopers (Andy Malone also).

  28. Another one of the countless fuckwits who can’t have a conversation. Their way or the highway. If he was on SM he would be sliding into your DMs threatening “legal action” when you call him a ballbag, like so many of them operate. Bluster and no substance
