The Daily Wire reports that members of Grace Baptist Church in Troy, New York, many of whom were women and children, were harassed by Black Lives Matter protestors as they entered the church for a Sunday Morning service on July 5, 2020.
According to reports the harassment started at the end of June.
The protesters, repeatedly shouting “Black Lives Matter,” even harassed and blocked churchgoers while they were with their young children, using a megaphone to scream at the families, shaming and threatening their parents with calls to CPS, or Child Protective Services.
The assaults, harassment, and protesting have been occurring since at least the end of June, according to the viral videos posted online. The church has refused to close or back down, directing men from the parish to help escort fellow worshipers inside as they are blocked by BLM protesters.
In other footage, mostly black churchgoers are shamed and screamed at by protesters as they walk into the church. One female protester yells at a black parishioner, “You should be ashamed!!”

It is uncertain why Grace Church was targeted. Apparently the church offered an AR-15 at a church raffle earlier in the year, though the Daily Wire notes that none of the protestors cited this during their protests.
Coming soon to a church near you?

“The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries. But these—like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed—speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, receiving the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime” (2 Peter 2:9-11).
