A U.S. man claiming to be a missionary was arrested in Uganda after repeatedly assaulting and berating a hotel staff member in the name of “Jesus.” Advertisement Kampala Metropolitan Police reported on its Facebook page that it had arrested Jimmy L. Taylor for “punching and humiliating a hotel employee” at the Grand Imperial Hotel. A video of the attack filmed by a witness went viral on social media. In the video, Taylor is seen chasing the hotel staff member around the lobby and yelling, “You hate Jesus? You hate yourself? You hate me? You disgrace Jesus?” Taylor throws several punches at the man’s head, but the victim remains incredibly calm and refuses to return the blows. “C’mon, bitch,” Taylor taunts, before threatening to kill the man. As another man steps in to intervene, Taylor turned toward the person filming, middle finger raised, and said, “Fuck Uganda.” He added, “I’ve come to help Uganda, but Uganda hates Jesus.” Turning to the man in a blue shirt who tried to intervene, Taylor attempts to embrace him, then says, “No, you obey what I say. I don’t obey you.” He then turned to the victim a called him a “[N-word] bitch.” According to the Kampala Dispatch, Taylor confessed to police, but said he had a “medical condition that made him lose his temper and senses.”<doc-sep>In recent months, Blacks in the United States have been subjected to outrageous abuse caught on camera. From coast to coast, White racists have taunted, attacked and called police on innocent Black people just for living. In some cases, the person perpetrating the attack has been identified and soon found themselves out of a job. In other cases, the offenders have been the recipients of the Black diaspora tradition known as the catching of the hands. Some may say only in America can these White folks get away with this behavior, and that would never happen if they were in the Motherland. Apparently, those people would be wrong in their assumption. Case in point: In the country of Uganda, a White man, who has been identified as Jimmy Taylor, an American citizen reportedly there on Christian missionary work, decided to deliver not only the gospel but also a racist tirade and a beating to a hotel worker. Shockingly, Taylor smacked around a Black man twice his size, repeatedly called him the N-word, yelled “f— Uganda” and told all the Black workers in the room, “You will obey me.” While all this was happening, the workers appeared to remain calm, ran from his blows and pleaded with the racist thug not to beat them. They dealt with the beating and the destruction of the desk area until the police arrived. When the police showed up, officers surprisingly appeared to handle the hostile foreigner, who claimed that Jesus was going to punish all of Uganda, with kid gloves, according to posts by Twitter users on the Uganda Police Force’s page. Taylor was ultimately charged with assault, but many Ugandans were infuriated by how police handled the incident and the perpetrator, as the following tweets show: “Eeeh, why is he still walking? Why is his shirt neatly tucked in? Why does he still have a belt? Had it been a Ugandan! Y’all arrested foreigners with dignity you wouldn’t accord to fellow Ugandans! Nkt!” — FreeBobiWine (@mukasagrace6) August 18, 2018 “Indeed! Chap got a front row seat in the police Van. He was even offered drinks on arrival at the police. He was asked if he was hungry. He was asked if he had any medical needs. He was asked whether the handcuffs were comfortable. But they treat fellow Ugandans like animals.” — #ExplodingNoema (@henryshaykins) August 18, 2018 The shocking attack can be viewed below:<doc-sep>A Vietnam veteran claiming to be a missionary assaulted hotel workers in Uganda in a very ungodly display where he called the employees the n-word and threw punches in the name of 'Jesus'.

An American pastor was arrested by Ugandan police for allegedly attacking a hotel employee in the name of Jesus on Friday, according to local reports. Jimmy Taylor, a missionary, was seen hitting, slapping, pushing, cursing and chasing down a staff member of the Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala named Francis on Thursday night. He jumped over the front desk and followed Francis into the lobby area. Francis is then seen sidestepping and defending himself from multiple attempts by Taylor to hit him and refusing to engage in violent behavior. A man in blue that intervened was later caught in attempts by Taylor to hit Francis again after being escorted to a distant area in the room, the Uganda Dispatch reported. A third person that was not identified to the public filmed the entire incident, who Ugandan police personally thanked in a Tweet featuring photos of Taylor being arrested. "Film me. Fuck Uganda, I've come to love Uganda, I've come to help Uganda, but Uganda hates Jesus through this son of a bitch," he declares to the camera and the man in blue establishing a physical barrier between Taylor and Francis. Police have since also recovered CCTV recordings of the incident. When his effort to embrace the employee mid-insult was turned away, Taylor demands to be obeyed and approaches Francis a second time. He used the n-word and continued to cuss as Francis tried to leave the room, reaching out to hit him in the back of the head. "No! No! You obey what I say. I don't obey you. Open my f****** room now! You b****! Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you," Taylor shouts at Francis. No information has yet been made public detailing the cost of potential damages Taylor made to merchandise at the hotel, and the identities of those involved have been kept sealed due to the pending investigation. Taylor, during a line of questioning, confessed to having assaulted the hotel staff and claimed to have a medical condition that cause the violent outburst. The suspect will be subjected to a medical examination to ascertain the validity of the claim and the nature of the disease, as well as the intended effect of its medication before proceeding with legal action.
